Metrics and Key Performance Indicators
Some of the areas from which bank management may gain knowledge by using business performance management include:
- customer-related numbers:
- new customers acquired
- status of existing customers
- attrition of customers (including breakup by reason for attrition)
- turnover generated by segments of the customers - possibly using demographic filters
- outstanding balances held by segments of customers and terms of payment - possibly using demographic filters
- collection of bad debts within customer relationships
- demographic analysis of individuals (potential customers) applying to become customers, and the levels of approval, rejections and pending numbers
- delinquency analysis of customers behind on payments
- profitability of customers by demographic segments and segmentation of customers by profitability
- campaign management
- real-time dashboard on key operational metrics
- overall equipment effectiveness
- clickstream analysis on a website
- key product portfolio trackers
- marketing-channel analysis
- sales-data analysis by product segments
- callcenter metrics
Though the above list describes what a bank might monitor, it could refer to a telephone company or to a similar service-sector company.
Items of generic importance include:
- consistent and correct KPI-related data providing insights into operational aspects of a company
- timely availability of KPI-related data
- KPIs designed to directly reflect the efficiency and effectiveness of a business
- information presented in a format which aids decision-making for management and decision-makers
- ability to discern patterns or trends from organized information
Business performance management integrates the company's processes with CRM or ERP. Companies should become better able to gauge customer satisfaction, control customer trends and influence shareholder value.

Famous quotes containing the words key and/or performance:
“It so happened that, a few weeks later, “Old Ernie” [Ernest Hemingway] himself was using my room in New York as a hide-out from literary columnists and reporters during one of his rare stopover visits between Africa and Key West. On such all-too-rare occasions he lends an air of virility to my dainty apartment which I miss sorely after he has gone and all the furniture has been repaired.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“The honor my country shall never be stained by an apology from me for the statement of truth and the performance of duty; nor can I give any explanation of my official acts except such as is due to integrity and justice and consistent with the principles on which our institutions have been framed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
