Many businesses have invested large sums of money and time in their ERP and other enterprise systems. These systems generally do an excellent job of supplying transaction-level information, but are less successful at providing answers to the next level of questions about the business. More importantly, they are incapable of providing the necessary information and tools for effectively managing business performance.

Vanguard helps companies leverage their installed systems, and use their information assets to make better business decisions. Our performance management solutions enable companies to intelligently interpret and analyze business data, giving them the power to measure, manage, and improve performance.

Vanguard enables businesses to look beyond static reports, to share important information, evaluate trends, identify root causes, and effectively manage the performance of the enterprise. The Vanguard solution,Graphical Performance Series® (GPS), is designed to be Practical, Powerful, and Integrated:
