TM1 Technology
A complete application for Financial and Operational Performance Management
TM1 is a complete application which streamlines the performance management process and includes planning, budgeting, forecasting, reporting
and analysis. You can access, analyze, and visualize corporate data from any part of the business at anytime and anywhere - all on one application for a single version
of the truth.
TM1 is based on OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing) technology which enables users to quickly view and understand large sets of complex
business data. Analysts, managers and executives can view data across multiple dimensions and drill down into the specific data
underlying those summaries. TM1 does all the calculating in memory, providing much faster response times - up to a million times faster - compared to OLAP engines that
store their data on a disk drive. Read more about managing data at RAM speed.
