), global provider of Investment Planning and Control(TM) solutions, today introduced a major new release of Artemis 7, its software that incorporates portfolio, budgeting and project management techniques to effectively link business strategy with execution throughout the enterprise.

 changes in priorities, and improve collaboration between operational and financial staff.

The need for performance-based budgeting capabilities is becoming a critical issue for organizations. Budgets are prepared on an annual basis and new investment objectives determined during the year are difficult to take into account. Without adequate visibility or accountability, the risk is that unplanned initiatives will consume allocated budgets.

"Businesses seeking more agility critically need performance-based budgeting," said Matt Light, research director, Gartner Inc. "Without it, they have difficulty taking into account shifts in strategy during the year, and may be rigidly bound to budgets drawn up nine months or a year ago, or worse."

The new version of Artemis 7 allows budgets to be based on results. Performance-based budgeting provides visibility into investments to understand where resources are committed and the impact of initiatives on budgets. It enables the ongoing alignment of functional budget and the investments that support the organization's strategy, providing a direct linkage between resources required to achieve specific goals. Artemis 7 enables organizations to dynamically manage the budget allocation process and analyze trends between investment estimates, allocated budgets, forecasts and actual expenditure.

"One of the problems with the budgeting process today is its inability to dynamically link strategy planning with available resources, actual execution and results," said Patrick Ternier, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
