Performance Tune-Up
What do you do on a consistent basis to ensure that your IBM Planning Analytics / TM1 or Workday Adaptive Planning solution is maintaining its peak performance?
- Do you routinely look under the hood to ensure that everything is still running efficiently as designed?
- Do you periodically review changes to your business processes that may have impacted your system?
- Do you reach out to your end-users to ensure their user experience is as expected?
Everyone knows that proper maintenance is the key to maintaining overall good health and performance. You don’t think twice about going to a mechanic for scheduled tune-ups or heading to your doctor for routine well visits. So why would you assume that your IBM Planning Analytics / TM1 or Workday Adaptive Planning solution will simply take care of itself?
As part of Revelwood’s Customer Care program, we offer a Performance Tune-Up service. This is a recurring, scheduled maintenance program that allows Revelwood to bring our many years of experience and best practices to bear on your system.
