Core Products

Acorn's Enterprise Performance Suite (EPS) is dependent on the use of one of three core products, Performance Analyzer™ (PA), Cost Analyzer™ (CA), or Shared Services Manager™ (SSM). Both PA and CA rely on the same code base; the primary difference is that the former includes revenue and profitability calculations. The latter is used in cost only scenarios or by not-for-profit or public sector organizations. Both include the powerful insight of capacity analysis. SSM is a more focused solution around internal or shared services cost and delivers some unique capabilities to truly transform these processes.

Products from Acorn Enterprise Performance Suite: Performance Analyzer, Cost Analyzer and Shared Services Manager now support SQL Server 2012.
