COR2126. The Importance of CPM for Construction Financial Professionals

Over the past decade, the construction industry has become well populated with project management software. But one critical aspect of construction has been largely overlooked when it comes to ConTech  - the financial office. Collaboration, timely and accurate receipt of information, and cross-platform integration within the financial operations of contractors have remained a predominantly manual (excel-driven) exercise, resulting in frustration among all parties.  Corporate Performance Management (CPM) built specifically for construction financial professionals is not just improving, but revolutionizing financial operations. In this session, attendees will learn what CPM is (and isn't), how to evaluate and select a CPM platform, review use cases,  and discuss how to determine ROI

Learning Objectives:

• Distinguish CPM for construction and how it can positively impact financial operations
• Distinguish the components of CPM and how it relates and interacts with other construction technology, and best practices for evaluation and selection of a CPM platform
