Unlocking Connected Performance Insights: How Modern CPM Software Solves Today’s Top Reporting Challenges

In a data-driven world, the ability to generate, access, and trust your financial and operational reports is no longer a “nice to have”—it’s a business necessity. Yet many organizations still rely on outdated tools, disconnected systems, and labor-intensive processes that hinder performance instead of enabling it.

That’s where modern Corporate Performance Management (CPM) software—and what we like to call Connected Performance Insights (CPI)—comes in.

Let’s walk through the most common reporting challenges we hear from finance teams, and how modern CPM platforms solve them by delivering consistent, automated, and intelligent insights across your organization.

Challenge 1: “I can’t trust my data.”

The Issue: Teams spend more time validating numbers than analyzing them. Inconsistent definitions, manual entry, and disconnected systems all lead to data integrity issues.

The Solution: A modern CPM platform centralizes data across your organization, pulling from both operational and financial sources into a single version of the truth. No more guesswork—just trusted insights with built-in validations and audit trails.

Challenge 2: “Our data isn’t accessible.”

The Issue: Finance and business leaders need answers fast—but critical reports are locked away in complex systems or outdated spreadsheets.

The Solution: With Connected Performance Insights, a modern CPM platform provides intuitive dashboards, role-based access, and mobile-friendly reporting. Decision-makers can access the data they need—anytime, anywhere.

Challenge 3: “We rely too much on IT to get data.”

The Issue: Reporting requests funnel through a centralized IT or analytics team, creating bottlenecks and delays that slow down business agility.

The Solution: CPM tools are built for finance teams. With drag-and-drop reporting and self-service tools, business users can create and customize reports without waiting on IT—putting speed and ownership back in your hands.

Challenge 4: “We can’t see the full picture.”

The Issue: When data is scattered across departments and systems, it’s hard to connect the dots between financials and operational performance. Furthermore, when we try to drill into the details down to the transaction level, we are not able to. 

The Solution: Modern CPM solutions consolidate and align data from across the enterprise—sales, HR, supply chain, and more—so you can link cause and effect and make truly informed decisions. CPM solutions can also load data down to the transaction level to facilitate drill-through. 

Challenge 5: “We spend too much time creating reports manually.”

The Issue: Manually preparing, formatting, and distributing reports is a time sink that leaves little time for actual analysis.

The Solution: Automation is a core strength of Connected Performance Insights. From recurring reports to board packages, CPM platforms automate the entire reporting process, giving your team time back to focus on what matters: insights and strategy.

Challenge 6: “We don’t know how to get started.”

The Issue: Many finance teams know they need better reporting—but aren’t sure how to move from legacy tools to a modern solution.
