BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/09/13 -- Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE: HHS), today announced the publication of new research reports from its Business Intelligence (BI), and Networking and Application Performance research practices.

Previous Aberdeen research on the topic of Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), revealed that senior executives implementing performance management initiatives had a better understanding of their business, and were able to apply this insight to better define the business strategy for their organization.

This Analyst Insight illustrates how top performing organizations instill a culture of EPM by providing employees with access to performance data when, and where, they need it.
