Performance Management

i-nexus' Performance Edition has been designed for organizations that want to implement scorecards at the business unit level. Incorporating all the functionality of i-nexus' Project and Program Editions, the Performance Edition adds powerful tools to help you achieve improved operational performance. Easy to use, quick to deploy, and readily customized for any methodology, the Performance Edition delivers the following features and functionality:

Defining strategy and scorecards

Creating strategy maps and scorecards is facilitated by a range of features:

- Intuitive graphical interface allows strategy maps to be drawn in terms of perspectives, objectives and metrics.
- Scorecards can be generated directly from strategy maps or by manual entry, and can be assigned to individual business units.
- Owners can be assigned at scorecard, objective and metric level.
- Metrics and objectives can be linked between scorecards.

Defining metrics (Key Performance Indicators)

Simple to use wizards bring powerful metric management tools to your desktop so that you can:

- draw on predefined templates from existing metrics;
- automatically roll up metric values to parent metrics from user defined arithmetical formulae;
- roll up metric targets and baseline values in similar arithmetical fashion;
- customize thresholds for traffic light statuses.

Collecting and monitoring metrics

Journal features make this task easy so that you can:

- define owner and metric team members for each metric;
- capture metric journal entries from anyone on the team;
- annotate metric values;
- automatically collect data from external data sources, such as ERP systems or data warehouses, on a scheduled basis.

Analyzing and reporting metric progress

Advanced charting, with drill-down to underlying data, allows data to be presented in a variety of chart types and delivered in a number of report formats. As a result you can:

- analyze cause/effect assumptions;
- 'slice and dice' metric and factor data for advanced metric analysis;
- view interlinked metrics as a complete business metric cascade;
- create closed loop performance reviews using ‘Measure-Analyse-Action-Review' charts (MAAR) that connect metric performance directly with root cause analysis and the progress and impact of improvement actions;
- automate the creation of scorecard briefing books;
- schedule any scorecard or metric report for automatic delivery to selected users and set alerts to notify selected users about metric performance or missing values.
