Cartesis

Cartesis was a software company specializing in business intelligence and corporate performance management solutions. Founded in 1990, the company developed a suite of products designed to help organizations analyze their financial data, manage budgets, forecast future performance, and report on key business metrics. Their flagship product, Cartesis Arbor, was known for its ability to consolidate financial information from disparate sources and provide a unified view of a company's financial health.

The company's offerings aimed to address challenges faced by finance departments, such as improving the accuracy of financial reporting, streamlining budgeting processes, and enabling more strategic decision-making. Cartesis served a global client base across various industries, including manufacturing, retail, and financial services. Their solutions were often implemented to support activities like financial planning and analysis (FP&A), regulatory compliance, and management reporting.

In 2007, Cartesis was acquired by Business Objects, a leading provider of business intelligence software at the time. This acquisition integrated Cartesis's performance management capabilities into Business Objects' broader BI platform, further strengthening their offerings in the market. Following the acquisition of Business Objects by SAP in 2008, Cartesis's technology and product lines were absorbed into SAP's enterprise performance management (EPM) portfolio, continuing to serve customers under the SAP umbrella.
