Gartner, Inc. and the Centre for Business Performance, Cranfield School of Management have again joined together to collaborate on an extensive evaluation of Balanced Scorecard vendors and their products. The Balanced Scorecard Software Report has been designed to guide you through the process of selecting the right software solution for your organization by offering a Decision Framework, as well as detailed evaluations of twenty-eight major Balanced Scorecard software products available today. The BSC Decision Framework includes forty-six specific factors that were used in the evaluation of each of the BSC-related software products that are included in this report. Even if your organization had the skills required to do this type of an assessment, the cost in staff and management time would far exceed the price of this report.

The choice of the right software to support a performance measurement system implementation is of crucial importance. This report provides a methodological approach so that companies can make the right choice.

3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful but outdated, July 2, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Balanced Scorecard Software Report (Spiral-bound)

The book is helpful, but expensive and outdated due to the continual release of software versions from each vendor. I found most of the research to be inadequate due to this time problem. You are better of researching the solutions yourself or you can get help from the authorities, Balanced Scorecard Collaborative...on the subject since they invented the topic and certify the software. They have an automated decision support product that can help you make a selection based on the most up-to-date research possible.
