GPM
Government Performance Management

GPM is a structured approach to implementing government budget management systems

The public sector has relied on complex and expensive integration projects using enterprise performance management software products combined with a multitude of add-on tools to develop budget management systems that suit the way governments budget.

Implementations have often resulted in unfocused requirements definition, scope creep, budget overruns, complex systems and disappointing solutions.

Enterprise performance management software products designed for the way corporations budget are difficult to adapt to the specific requirements of the public sector. With the right approach they work perfectly well.

In response to the need for a better project approach, the CFO Group developed GPM - Government Performance Management. 

GPM is a robust project approach to help governments procure and deliver budget management solutions that are easy to use, low risk to implement and cost effective to own. GPM is independent of the enterprise performance management software platform chosen. GPM is supported by a pre-built sample application on an enterprise performance management software platform for demonstrating what is possible and used as a guide to scope the project.

Multi-year budgeting Multi-year budget forms with automated balance sheet rollovers
