Overview:
Companies that possess a particular combination of strategic and implementation prowess almost invariably outperform their peers regardless of trends in their industry. One of the key capabilities common to these companies is strong performance management practice. So how do these outstanding businesses differentiate themselves in performance management? Accenture's extensive consulting experience has resulted in deep industry knowledge and a strong understanding of what it takes to elevate performance. The Cognos world-leading corporate performance management (CPM) technology platform provides the means. Together, Accenture and Cognos help you see and understand your company's past, present and future performance.
The combination of technology expertise, methodology, tools and techniques with a practical blend of industry-specific knowledge helps you identify, harness and share your intellectual capital. As two market leaders with decades of success worldwide, Accenture and Cognos help you sharpen your strategic focus and overcome barriers to success.
Accenture and Cognos have been in an alliance relationship since 1999. Today, Cognos has grown to be one of the few go to alliance organisations for Accenture in financial performance management and enterprise performance management spaces. In return, Accenture is a Cognos Platinum Consulting Partner. Currently, the two companies are focused on developing joint industry-specific solutions, with particular emphasis on financial services, aerospace, retail, semiconductors and consumer and packaged goods.

We share this vision with our alliance, Accenture. Cognos and Accenture believe that businesses have long worked to leverage the strengths of their people, processes and technologies. CPM is the platform that lets them harness this potential to move forward with purpose."
