Meta planning and simulation system ( msg.MPSS ) is a CPM platform for creating business intelligence and corporate performance management solutions for the analysis of company data . Based on the underlying OLAP concept , reporting, analysis, planning and risk management are possible in one system without a system break. Also Balanced scorecards are fully supported without changing the system.
msg.MPSS has a modular structure. The tool can be used as an information system as well as a planning system. It offers an above-average high level of scalability. The focus in OLAP concepts is open data access for end users and the multiple structuring options for the data contained in the MPSS models.
msg.MPSS will be further developed and sold by msg systems ag after the merger of msg life metris gmbh with msg systems ag at the beginning of 2016 .
