CCH® Tagetik Recognised as Market Leader in BARC Score FPM 2026 Report

The recent release of the BARC Score Financial Performance Management 2026 report has once again positioned CCH® Tagetik as a Market Leader, marking its ninth consecutive year in this esteemed category. For finance and data leaders, this accolade is more than just recognition; it signifies the platform’s continued excellence in managing the complexities of modern, data-intensive organizations.

Large organizations frequently encounter challenges such as integration loops and data silos, which can delay month-end closures and frustrate IT departments. BARC‘s assessment underscores that CCH® Tagetik is engineered for these demanding environments, providing the governance necessary to move beyond manual workarounds.

The platform offers predefined business logic that minimizes the need for custom, fragile coding, robust workflow and governance capabilities that meet strict IT sign-offs and audit requirements, and high user satisfaction across planning, consolidation, and price-performance ratio.

Advancing Financial Intelligence with Expert AI

The 2026 report also highlights CCH® Tagetik Expert AI, which is not a mere chatbot but a sophisticated system powered by a “Finance Brain”, designed to comprehend financial logic and context. This includes:

• Agentic workflows that can “think”, collaborate, and execute across core CPM processes.
• Context-aware insights derived from specific data and workflows.
• A unified performance management approach that connects financial results with operational drivers.

Strategic Implementation and Data Architecture

At CRMT, we understand that even the most advanced platform requires a solid data strategy to succeed. While CCH® Tagetik provides the “Expert AI” and the “Finance Brain,” we offer the architectural expertise to ensure your data lineage is transparent and your processes are audit-ready. We focus on the practical aspects of implementation: navigating internal politics, securing IT approval, and ensuring your team adopts the new technology effectively.

For those seeking to unify financial and operational planning within a single, governed environment, the real challenge often lies in the underlying data structure. CRMT assists in designing a secure, scalable foundation that transforms these platform features into measurable business value.
