"To improve the effectiveness of CPM and BI investments, consider the following:

• Establish a BI and CPM competency center that brings together business and IT personnel to determine reporting issues and how to align technologies to address any concerns.
  

• Understand how CPM can benefit the organization, and work in close collaboration to enable CPM platforms that are consistent with the IT portfolio.
  

• Define and deploy an enterprisewide metrics framework. Organizations need to have a consistent set of clearly defined performance metrics, aligned to corporate strategy and recognizable by all stakeholders."

The ClearPoint Metric Application Packages are built on ClearPoint's methodology for designing relevant, actionable, and trustworthy security metrics that are aligned to an organization's objectives and reporting structure. The company's exclusive 'Metric Roll Up' capability enables organizations to fuse together data from a wide variety of security and enterprise applications, generate metrics, and then 'slice & dice', group, and sort the metrics into scorecards and dashboards appropriate for the audience or stakeholder. The end result is that users collaborate around visually rich scorecards that provide high level indicators with the ability to drill in to fine grain details and root causes, enabling executives and managers to make decisions with information that is consistent and trustworthy.
