    When we shopped for Axiom, there really wasn't any comparable product on the marketplace that we could find. It has a full suite of products (including some we don't use like capital management, profitability, productivity, and benchmarking), and everything was in "one place." …

    The only other system I have worked with was the Fiserv MPC product, which is what we had Axiom replace. The Fiserv MPC product does not even come close to the functionality of Axiom. For our Budget, we would have to run an Excel Macro in Fiserv MPC overnight which took about …

    Axiom is extremely well suited to optimize the Budget process. Using Axiom, we have cut our overall budget cycle time in half and have a much higher level of accuracy in all facets of the Budget including Fee Income, Expense, and Margin. Axiom is also well suited for advanced data users as you have the ability to create your own custom database tables which allows you to join to the existing Axiom tables and has allowed us to create custom reporting that we could not even think about on our previous system. The other big benefit of Axiom is that it sits on top of Microsoft Excel and inherits all of its functionality, which most people have experience with.

    Pros
    Syntellis Performance Solutions (formerly Kaufman Hall Software)
    • Compared to a previous EPM we used, Axiom's template load and saving performance has been much better even for large plan files.
    • Axiom consultants can create completely customized reports for any of the collected data. Super users within your organization can then fairly easily modify their work to create additional reports without Axiom's help (and invoices)
    • Setting up user security is a fairly easy one-time task and very easy to maintain when people change departments, leave the organization, etc. I would recommend you use role-based security settings.
    • Compared to our previous EPM, Axiom allows more customization and possibilities for templates. There's very few "the product can't do that" statements.

    Cons
    Syntellis Performance Solutions (formerly Kaufman Hall Software)
    • Implementation is quite Complex and requires both IT and Financial buy-in
    • Reporting solution has some learning curve for end users
    • Calculation methods within reporting can be opaque and hard to trace

    Syntellis Performance Solutions (formerly Kaufman Hall Software)
    For the scale of our implementation, Axiom only assigned two consultants who were both completely new to the company. It felt like we were all learning about the product together, when you would expect them to already be experts at their own product. The team also made a good bit of mistakes throughout production and go-live, which then caused more work internally for us. The team lead for our project also just left the company, so we'll see how next year's planning goes
