Infor EPM Strategic Planning Strategic Planning Cycle Develop strategic plans Link strategies to operational plans Measure and monitor strategic initiatives by sponsor, business unit and other ways Supports multiple methodologies: Six Sigma, Economic Value Added (EVA), Balanced Scorecard, Hoshin & others "All too often we see companies budgeting back-to-front deciding what activities they can afford to do against the budget. Instead we have taken our corporate strategy and developed clearly defined operational plans and individual targets. We then set the budget to finance these activities. As a result we have an effective collaborative budgeting process which resources the plans that meet our strategic goal. - Callie Masson, CFO, Professional Provident Society 11

We are able to quickly update plans as business needs change and model multiple scenarios to achieve key strategies. Infor FPM allows fast and easy scenario modeling which will save us considerable amounts of time. - Paul Brannan, Planning Manager KFC Great Britain 12
