A Performance Management Software Integrating the Concept of Visibility of Performance

Applying Performance Management Systems (PMS) in an enterprise often is a cumbersome endeavor. Reasons are missing software structures and the lack of an intuitive visualization of important information. The theory of Visibility of Performance defines the goodness of use of a given PMS and can also can be applied to a PMS software. In this context, the authors evaluate a novel software prototype that deals with the problem of lacking information transfer and visualisation with the result that it is most suitable to generate and transport visible performance information. Moreover, this investigation is a formal verification of the used theory.
