About Barry Wilderman

Barry Wilderman has over 30 years of experience as an industry analyst, researcher and consultant. He is a highly regarded public speaker, and has spoken at numerous business events around the world. I am pleased to offer a set of value-driven improvement services to buyers and vendors of Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solutions: For buyers of EPM solutions: EPM solutions are crucial to meet the needs of the Corporate Finance and Corporate Strategy departments. Therefore, there must be a successful collaboration between IT and top corporate executives to select, implement and support EPM software. We help make sure you get it right. For vendors of EPM solutions: This is one of the most visible application areas – what an audience to sell to! We are here to help ensure you are truly delivering value (both product and services) – and marketing your competitive advantage. Barry’s approach to research and consulting has been shaped by a number of critical job experiences: At META Group, Barry managed a team of enterprise application analysts focused on issues of selecting software, selecting the best consulting firm(s), implementation strategy and success factors beyond the go-live date. This work spanned numerous industries and horizontal disciplines. His clients were both enterprise vendors and companies implementing enterprise software. At Lawson Software, Barry was able to apply a great deal of the META research in the practical world of an enterprise vendor. He coordinated a series of studies around Lawson’s Business Intelligence and financial solutions. He also managed a team of value consultants who helped companies model their pain points and translate those pain points into quantifiable benefits. Early in Barry’s career, he worked at McKinsey and Company, where he managed an analytic services group, working on delivering value in client engagements. Barry also worked for Information Builders, where he helped shape its approach to third party application delivery and artificial intelligence. Barry holds a BS from City College of New York and MS Degrees from Brown University and New York University. :
