Now the bank's primary management information platform, the software sets new reporting standards and adds transparency to support executives in managing business performance.

pmOne, Tagetik's distributor in Germany, Austria and German-speaking Switzerland, integrated the new solution with its business intelligence tool, cMORE. Management accountants at BAWAG P.S.K. can now build and administer reports that fulfill their complete design requirements completely on their own.

"pmOne understood our needs for self-service business intelligence and helped us implement them quickly," said Andreas H. Haider, leader of the Tagetik project team at BAWAG P.S.K. "The Tagetik software meets our current needs and is the ideal software platform to further address future demands in planning and banking-specific corporate performance management (CPM) processes in parallel."

Five of the ten biggest banks in Austria now use Tagetik's CPM software. In addition to BAWAG P.S.K., Erste Group, Raiffeisen Bank International, VB Wien Baden (formerly ÖVAG) and Bank Austria of the Unicredit Group are also Tagetik customers. "Companies in the financial services industry face very strict regulations and appreciate the rich, built-in functionality that Tagetik offers," said Oliver Vermeer, managing director of pmOne GmbH. "This software really unifies and harmonizes complex business processes and incorporates specific industry requirements - all within a single application."

"Tagetik takes great pride in being selected by companies such as BAWAG P.S.K. as the best solution for managing their finance processes," said Manuel Vellutini, Tagetik co-CEO. "Tagetik's emphasis on serving progressive CFOs leverages our strong expertise and proven success in addressing the complex processes of finance organizations. This means constantly listening to our clients and constantly innovating to meet their changing business needs. This passion is at the core of our long-term customer relationships and our strong worldwide partnership network."
