The required concepts are often not new but must now be consistently implemented. Technologies for Corporate Performance Management are becoming more powerful, facilitating self-service reporting, automation of reporting, complex integrated simulation models, and new analytical methods.
With the easy availability of all corporate data, controlling now also faces the question of which data contain relevant information for business management and whether this falls under the responsibility of the CFO area.
Modern Performance Management Systems and SAP S/4 also enable the integration of all calculations, where the internal and external views of the figures must be generated by accounting. The result accounting in the conglomerate can thus be designed to allow analyses across legal entities.

Performance Management and Controlling: Drivers of Innovation in Business Management
Performance Management and Controlling are more than just the collection and analysis of financial metrics. They are pivotal pillars of strategic business management, aiming to align the operational and strategic activities of employees with the overarching goals and the overall strategy of the company. In the face of global economic crises and constant market shifts, a dynamic and adaptive performance management system is crucial for business success.
What Does Performance Management and Controlling Include?
Our services in Performance Management and Controlling cover a broad spectrum of strategic leadership and management tools:
- Control Concept and Planning: Integration of business objectives into effective planning and reporting systems.
- Profitability and Liquidity Management: Sustainable improvement of performance and ensuring liquidity.
- Business Intelligence: Systematic collection, analysis, and evaluation of business data to enable data-driven decision-making.
- ESG Governance: Implementation of appropriate strategies for environmentally conscious, socially responsible, and transparent corporate governance.
- Technological Integration: Use of advanced CPM platforms for unified calculations and analyses across various business units.
The Future of Business Management: Strategic Integration and Dynamic Controlling
Business management and its responsible controlling have continuously evolved over the past decades. Controlling is seen as management consulting, and the business-partnering concept remains state-of-the-art.
The consistent integration of business management and, consequently, controlling into strategic planning and the implementation of strategies and vice versa are other crucial characteristics for effective business management. This is achieved by integrating strategic goals into performance metrics systems and especially through the integration of strategic measures control into controlling.
Economic and global crises repeatedly demonstrate that performance management must be dynamic and provide reliable answers to new questions quickly. For this, traditional planning methods are no longer suitable. Powerful simulation tools can integrate planning and simulation using driver-based concepts. We believe that risk management must also be integrated into planning, moving beyond mere compliance with legal requirements for directors and supervisory boards.

Our Success Stories
What our Customers Say
"The challenge of mapping an integrated business model of a global industrial group was big. Markus Noçon and his team masterfully implemented it and created a system that convinces through layout and usability. Despite the different business plans of the individual companies, from construction to production and service, it is thanks to the competence of the team that this has been implemented in Planning Analytics in a user-friendly way. By implementing Cognos Controller at the same time, an integrated system was created that maps the business processes from budgeting and planning to consolidation and reporting. The training of users at our locations in the USA and the Caribbean allows us to develop analyses and reports independently (cultural and language barriers were never an obstacle). Schedule and budget were always adhered to. 4C has repeatedly provided us with valuable ideas and impulses, and through professional methodology has created a system adapted to our specific needs."
