In a move to enhance its business analytics offerings, enterprise software purveyor SAP AG has acquired Pilot Software, a specialist in corporate performance management technology.

The deal, which SAP closed last week for an undisclosed sum, adds to SAP's portfolio a product called PilotWorks, which allows C-level executives and other managers to monitor a business's progress against its strategic goals.

PilotWorks is sold as either an integrated suite of products or as standalone modules. Business functions enabled by the suite include operational reviews, strategy assessment, scorecards, dashboards, and workflow processes for entry and approval and configuration and modeling.
