It is here that a comprehensive, cloud-based EPM solution comes into its own, and I am delighted to see that Board has been recognized by the IDC MarketScape as a leader in the field. By unifying EPM capabilities with business intelligence and predictive analytics, Board delivers the 360° visibility needed to remain competitive and responsive in turbulent times and beyond,” comments Giovanni Grossi, CEO and Co-Founder of Board International.
