Axiom EPM, a leading provider of cloud and on premise financial planning software for enterprises, today announced the release of Axiom EPM 7.0, the latest version of the company’s integrated performance management technology platform. Axiom EPM 7.0 enhances the company’s performance management capabilities, extending its leadership as the most sophisticated, flexible and easy-to-use enterprise planning tool.

Axiom EPM 7.0 features a variety of improvements and new capabilities for helping finance professionals drive corporate performance, including:

• A Customized End-User Experience – The already highly-flexible and configurable Axiom platform now features a robust set of capabilities that enable a customized user experience for every role in the organization. Based on research with various user types, Axiom EPM 7.0 creates a tailored user interface for each role—from C-suite executives to “power users,” and anywhere in between. The new Axiom experience brings together task panes, menu bars, favorites and personalized home pages to closely align with the needs of each user type, creating a more personalized approach to interacting with the software.
• Enhanced Visualization – Complementing its existing set of data visualizations, Axiom EPM 7.0 adds new features improving visualization of financial performance data, including KPIs, operational metrics, rankings, relative contribution, trends, variances and outliers to get a full view of the business. A new map view displays information in a geospatial context allowing users to perform sophisticated visual analysis by country, region, state, city, zip code or any other geospatial attribute. Enhancements to the Axiom Data Explorer make ad hoc analysis and dashboard creation easier than ever.
• Mobile Performance Management – Axiom EPM delivers performance management “on the go” with a new iOS app available for iPad. With it, iPad users can connect to their Axiom system – including all web-ready plans and reports to which they have access – securely, from anywhere. An intuitive menu bar allows users to interact with their most relevant planning templates with a reports library, plan forms and favorites.
• Enterprise Grade Process and Controls – Enhancements to the Axiom EPM process management feature enables users to conduct full process orchestration including process definition, sequencing, ownership, scheduling and tracking. Axiom process management allows for multiple processes to be administered concurrently bringing organization and governance to even the most complex set of tasks. For example, users can manage and track all activities associated with the financial consolidations and close process. The already robust Axiom EPM auditing feature includes a new user interface that enables access to detailed records of all activities and changes made within the system.

“Axiom EPM is committed to providing financial professionals with sophisticated, flexible and intuitive performance management solutions that make a meaningful impact to their organizations,” said Peri Pierone, Axiom EPM CEO. “Based on our deep understanding of our customers’ businesses, we continue to develop new solutions and functionality designed to address real-world challenges.
