MONTERREY, Mexico, April 24 /PRNewswire/ — Bitam, a Software 500 Company and global provider of Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solutions, including business Intelligence (BI), Financial Planning, and Strategic Planning, announces that at a recent worldwide event several Bitam clients discussed the benefits they receive from using the new version of the EPM suite, Bitam G6. Aeromexico Connect, a regional airline in Mexico, Grupo Alfa, a leading Mexican industrial company, Lamosa, a building and construction firm, and David Abdo, CEO of Bitam delivered live, online presentations to hundreds of executives from over 20 countries.
David Abdo, CEO of Bitam, discussed new features found in Bitam G6, such as Knowledge Intelligence, You Drive, multiplatform support, and more. Bitam G6 is a pervasive BI solution that brings intelligence to all the decision makers within an organization. Abdo saw an industry need to extend BI tools beyond monitoring and analysis of information. Bitam created a unique feature, Knowledge Intelligence, a knowledge base of an organization’s information that allows users to decide, act, and learn from their own decisions and the decisions of others within the company.
Gustavo Rodriguez, IT Manager of Aeromexico Connect, has been using Bitam’s Artus business Intelligence solution for more than 10 years. He explained to the audience that because of the constant changes within an organization, companies need a repository of knowledge and information generated by employees. “In an environment where there is much turnover, it is very important to have a system that gathers and stores all your company’s decisions and analysis,” said Rodriguez.
Besides the use of the knowledge base, Bitam G6 gives Aeromexico Connect the ability to use dashboards and graphics to quickly get an overview of how the organization is performing and the reasons behind its performance. Dashboards consolidate relative information in one view and can be easily modified to create visualizations that offer more clarity.
Carlos Avila, Controller of Grupo Alfa, related the advantages of switching from Excel to Bitam’s Financial Planning Solution, Ektos. Previously, developing the company budget in Excel took much iteration back and forth among management for approval. Using Ektos, Avila was able to automate the budget approval process, drastically reducing the time. It gives the company the tracking they need to control the process.
Ruben Figueroa, IT Manager of Lamosa, a 100-year old building and construction firm, discussed how he selected Bitam’s Stratego for Strategic Planning after evaluating numerous vendors. Lamosa needed a solution to integrate their production centers and would adjust to their business methodologies, Hoshin Kanri for quality and Management by Objectives, where all employees understand the business objectives. Figueroa explained that Bitam’s Stratego reinforced the methodologies, measured results, analyzed the deviations, and then uncovered preventive and corrective actions. Stratego measures the level of alignment between what the objectives are and what each area within the company is doing.
More than 50 company leaders from Home Depot, HEB Grocery Company, and Hewlett Packard attended the online conference, held April 10, 2008. Sponsors included Microsoft, HP, Sybase, and Strategy Execution Consulting.

SEATTLE, April 23 /PRNewswire/ — Varolii Corporation () today announced the general availability of the industry’s first complete workforce continuity software suite. Comprising four new Varolii applications — First Responder, Enterprise business Continuity, Employee Accountability and Pandemic Planning — the Workforce Continuity Suite () helps organizations share critical information and gather real-time updates through all stages of a crisis. Based on years of experience and hundreds of successful workforce continuity deployments for some of the world’s largest corporations, the Workforce Continuity Suite couples speedy deployment with proven best practices to give organizations much-needed confidence in their emergency communications system.
“Varolii workforce continuity applications go beyond the generic advantages offered by other automated emergency notification systems,” said Steve Zirkel, vice president and general manager of business Continuity for Varolii Corporation. “Instead of selling a technology platform that companies must configure with little historical knowledge to guide them, we offer four on-demand applications that take the guesswork out of implementing an effective solution, testing to ensure it’s ready, and then optimizing for performance when it’s needed most.”
Effective Communications Throughout the Entire Crisis
Because workforce continuity goes beyond the initial stage of an unplanned event, the Varolii suite of applications manages communications during all stages of an emergency. Each application includes specific processes and communication templates, as well as training and deployment recommendations specific to each stage:
Varolii First Responder(TM) ( responder.aspx): Quickly notifies response team members and executives of an incident, fosters cooperation with real-time status, and then effectively communicates when the incident is over. With a simple phone call or via Web interface, the administrator can generate an immediate message and then automatically escalate to an alternative communication channel if the first try doesn’t get through.
Varolii Enterprise business Continuity(TM) ( continuity.aspx): Rapidly expands communication from the first response team to a worldwide workforce. Unlike typical manual phone-tree emergency communications that can take many hours, organizations can use Varolii to share critical information and instructions in mere minutes to ensure effective preparation, timely response and rapid recovery.
Varolii Employee Accountability(TM) ( accountability.aspx): Combines outbound notifications with inbound messaging capabilities so companies can keep employees informed, collect and act upon real-time information about employees’ status, determine where assistance is needed, and minimize downtime by gaining a clear picture of staff availability.
Varolii Pandemic Planning(TM) ( Planning.aspx): Notifies employees of the company’s pandemic plan, supports telecommuting and other HR procedures, communicates healthcare-related information and gathers status from individual employees throughout the course of a pandemic. Because pandemic impact is typically more global in nature, organizations can use this application to communicate with partners, suppliers and customers worldwide.
Varolii Workforce Continuity Suite — a Proven, Reliable Solution
Delivered via a Software-as-a-Service model, the Varolii Workforce Continuity Suite encompasses multi-channel communications, service to more than 150 countries, delivery performance guarantees and one of the industry’s most highly experienced professional services teams.
Varolii workforce continuity applications have been tested and proven through some of the nation’s most recent disasters, including more than 3.5 million notifications sent in the timeframe surrounding Hurricane Katrina’s U.S. landfall in 2005 and more than 2.4 million notifications sent during the Valentines Day ice storm in 2007.
Varolii counts more than one-fifth of Fortune 1000 companies among its customer base and delivers more than 20 million workforce continuity notifications every month, which would equal roughly a quarter of a billion workforce continuity notifications on an annual basis.
The Varolii Workforce Continuity Suite is immediately available to organizations seeking to buy either the full suite or one or more applications. For more information, please visit .
About Varolii Corporation
Varolii Corporation provides the on-demand software and services that help organizations create intelligent, automated conversations with their customers and employees over whichever combination of communication channels will generate the best response. Each message is carefully designed and continually optimized to improve service, increase revenue or manage unplanned events; for example, flight cancellation notices, fraud detection alerts, outage notifications, customer surveys, medication adherence notifications, payment reminders, and emergency alerts. More than 350 organizations, including many of the largest U.S. banks, airlines, wireless carriers, utilities, and pharmacy benefit management companies trust Varolii to send more than 3.5 million messages every business day.

PITTSBURGH, April 23 /PRNewswire/ — Adonix, a Sage company and provider of leading enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions to mid-market companies, today announced that Langley/Empire Candle Company () selected the Sage ERP X3 Process software suite to manage its production operations and gain access to real-time business information.
Based in Kansas City, Kansas, Langley/Empire Candle Company produces over 300 types of candles, specializing in handcrafted, scented candles made by American workers. The company distributes through big box retailers like Wal-Mart and Kmart, as well as through an online storefront.
“Our legacy solution couldn’t support our business processes,” said Erik Williams, Director of Information Technology for Langley/Empire. “And, we couldn’t anticipate problems before they occurred. Since a lot of our processes were still followed up by hand, we couldn’t get real numbers until 60 days out.”
Sage ERP X3 provides real-time information via a variety of easy-to-use, built-in tools. Dashboards and the User Portal build on the system’s intrinsic business intelligence capabilities by providing user-defined, actionable graphical representations of key statistical information such as revenues and equipment usage. Dashboards can help boost profits by providing instantaneous access to key company data, allowing management to quickly react to changing business conditions. The newly released Sage ERP X3 version 5 also features a new business intelligence engine, which allows users to analyze their business performance on the fly, by simple drag and drop of aggregated data that are updated in real time with the flow of daily operations.
Langley/Empire Candle Company will also implement Sage ERP X3 Data Collection for the seamless and secure processing of a broad array of shop floor and warehousing transactions. “With better visibility into inventory levels and labor tracking,” said Williams, “we’ll be able to eliminate unnecessary capital expenses.” He added, “Sage ERP X3 offers all the functionality we need without requiring third-party add-ons. Adonix is a one-stop shop and it will be very convenient to call only one supplier if we need help.”
Additionally, Williams expects that Sage ERP X3 will help free up resources to focus on the company’s growth strategy. “Without being bogged down by paperwork and manual, repetitive processes and with accurate, real-time information, we’ll be able to put our expansion plans into action,” he said.
A Fully Integrated ERP System
Sage ERP X3 Process is an enterprise-wide set of application modules that addresses the unique and specialized needs of mid-sized process manufacturers. In addition to managing manufacturing, distribution, CRM, warehouse management and accounting functions, the system includes industry-specific capabilities such as formula management, quality control, regulatory compliance and lot tracking.

In particular, Sage ERP X3’s advanced planning and control capabilities use real time and historical information to help manage inventory levels and costs, optimize product mix, reduce waste and shorten product development cycles.

Florida Cardiology will deploy these web-based integrated solutions at eight office locations equipped with full diagnostic facilities and a freestanding cardiac catheterization laboratory and two satellite offices in the greater Orlando area.
“We needed a vendor that could provide cardio-centric functionality with a comprehensive array of fully integrated clinical, administrative and financial features.

ST. LOUIS, April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Amdocs , the leading provider of customer experience systems, continues to demonstrate global momentum with expanded relationships with service providers worldwide, the introduction of its new product portfolio and its growing partner community. In the first six months of its fiscal year, Amdocs has publicly announced 21 customer wins and deployments, introduced its Customer Experience Systems (CES) product portfolio and expanded its partner community. Amdocs has also experienced 21 quarters of consecutive revenue growth.
Customer Momentum in Established and Emerging Markets
Since October 2007, Amdocs has secured new business with wireline, wireless and broadband cable providers across North America, EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa), Latin America and Asia Pacific. Service providers are selecting and deploying products from across the portfolio including customer relationship management (CRM), revenue management, operations support systems (OSS) and the Compact Convergence suite that is designed for high growth markets.
In addition, Amdocs attracted new business across Europe with wins and deployments in Albania, Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, Estonia, Greece, Macedonia, Slovakia, Turkey and Ukraine. And among its wins in North America, Amdocs’ managed services business continues to grow, demonstrated by the January announcement of a significant extension of a managed service agreement with AT&T.
To meet customer demand, Amdocs has augmented its presence and operations in India, China and Latin America. Key wins and deployments in Latin America include a consulting engagement to guide Uruguay’s ANTEL through a major business process transformation, and new product deployments at America Movil subsidiaries in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico.
Strong Market Acceptance for New Product Portfolio: Amdocs CES 7.5
In January, Amdocs introduced Amdocs CES 7.5, the industry’s first suite of products to enable service providers to deliver the digital lifestyle at an accelerated pace and lower cost. Amdocs CES 7.5 includes the first unified platform for mobile service providers to offer digital marketplaces connecting advertisers, publishers, merchants and consumers. Since it was released, customers from around the world have adopted Amdocs CES, including Indian service provider Reliance Communications. Amdocs has also augmented its product line for the broadband cable market with the purchase earlier this month of Jacobs Rimell, and this acquisition expands Amdocs’ relationship with Comcast.
Industry analysts have recognized the Customer Experience Systems product portfolio. In its report titled, “Making Cents of the Customer Experience” from March 2008, analyst firm Yankee Group wrote: “The ability for carriers to personalize their products, services and content is now playing a major part within the overall customer experience. With the current market climate demanding more customer experience-oriented thinking, Yankee Group is watching Amdocs reinvent itself to become less about OSS/BSS/CRM and more about the overall customer experience. And from what we’ve seen so far, Amdocs is several steps ahead of its closest competition.”
Company Adds New Partners for Customer Choice
To help maintain its advantage, Amdocs has added 20 partners to the Amdocs’ Partner Program to offer customers business and technical solutions when deploying Amdocs’ products. In February, Amdocs and IBM expanded their global relationship with the introduction of Amdocs Service Provider Information Management solutions that incorporate IBM Information on Demand middleware products to create new integrated solutions for wireline, mobile, cable and satellite service industries.
“Amdocs is the only company that enables the combination of software, services and managed services to help service providers increase revenue and reduce costs while supporting next generation services,” said Dov Baharav, chief executive officer of Amdocs. “With new customers signing on, expanded global presence, and our deeper move into cable and OSS, our job is to help companies transform faster to deliver a more compelling customer experience.”
