With Perspective, organizations document the who, what, when and where of their security incidents and follow-up investigations. With Performance ViewsT, the stateof-the art Performance Management application from Performancesoft, organizations measure performance against strategic and operational goals. Both solutions promote data-driven decision making and increased accountability.
"Bringing the two systems together was a logical step," remarked Denis O'Sullivan, PPM 2000's President & CEO. "Today's security departments go beyond documenting and investigating incidents. They need to implement countermeasures that reduce loss or mitigate liability, and they need to measure the effectiveness of these countermeasures. With Perspective's Performance Management Module, corporate security can effectively demonstrate its successes while readily identifying when changes need to be made."
"PPM's customers will now have the ability to further align their security programs with the organization's overall strategy," stated Daniel Kube, Performancesoft's Vice President of Alliances. "This new module gives true insight, right from the individual
incident all the way to the aggregated trend information on incidents and incident reduction programs. This will assist management in making informed decisions from
key performance indicators and benchmark data to identify issues before they become major problems, thereby increasing the overall effectiveness of their programs."
Brian McIlravey, PPM's Vice-President of Consulting & Training and the driving force behind the partnership, remarked, "The ability to proactively measure, monitor and manage critical measures related to incidents brings a whole new level to security
management. This partnership weaves incident management and performance management tightly together. This is what the corporate security industry has been asking for. this is true performance management."
