An exclusive online poll conducted by bpmmag.net shows that forecasting is companies' biggest problem in the realm of business performance management. Thirty-four percent of respondents chose "forecasting accurately" when asked "What's your biggest BPM pain point?" In this economy, that result is hardly surprising. However, the poll also indicates that many organizations are struggling with efficiency problems in both their planning and their management reporting processes. "Inefficient budgeting processes" and "difficulty accessing the right performance information" each received 22 percent of the vote. Only 20 percent of poll respondents said their processes are relatively painless.
