Why an IBM Planning Analytics Healthcheck?

Ongoing Performance Diagnostics are a critical part of maintaining your enterprise-wide applications. Performance Diagnostic sessions assist in guiding a logical, scientific approach to examining both existing IBM Planning Analytics (formerly known as TM1) applications and future development efforts.

By testing specific areas of your IBM Planning Analytics application, administrators and developers will be better prepared to tackle design and production issues long before they become real problems. The result is a more productive experience for the end-user, administrator, and developer.

Strategic Focus

A complete Performance Diagnostic also determines how well the IBM Planning Analytics application fits the current state of the company.

The Performance Diagnostic should answer the following questions:

  • How well is the system designed?
  • What are its strengths and weaknesses?
  • Does the architecture deliver optimal performance for the existing feature set?
  • Will the system easily flex for short-term strategy adjustments?
  • How much effort will be required to adjust to strategic long-term shifts?
