Business Planning - an essential core competency in an increasingly competitive business world
(PRLEAP.COM) Cognos, a participant at the high profile "Leaders in Dubai’ event, has a global client portfolio that includes BMW, Bayer, Siemens, Esselte, Otis Elevators, Dow Chemical, Schneider Logistics and AmeriCredit, and has rapidly become the global benchmark in BI and CPM.
Dubai-based Performance Systems, which is the first and only certified consulting partner for Cognos in the Middle East and exclusively provides comprehensive, high quality implementation and training support, has recently added significant weight to its team capability with the recruitment of Pieter Nelson.
Having successfully managed Cognos’s Professional Services Division in South Africa, Pieter was co-founder of a South Africa-based BI company that implemented over 24 data warehousing projects internationally for small, medium and large companies. He also has extensive experience in training employees and partners in the most effective use of BI products, involving knowledge sharing and best practice implementation of successful methodologies.
Pieter has a wealth of international experience in data warehousing and BI systems. He is the designer of a unique BI methodology, and has joined Performance Systems to make this innovative solution available to progressive business organisations throughout the region.
"We are delighted to announce the addition of Pieter to our team" said Guy Rickett, General Manager of Performance Systems. "Cognos has continued to expand its global leadership position in business intelligence, and today offers the industry’s most comprehensive BI solution, one that combines seamlessly with the other Cognos CPM products to form a robust, flexible, complete and integrated solution - Pieter’s experience will ensure that our delivery of their globally acclaimed products meets and exceeds international quality standards".
Intelligent Enterprise magazine, based on exhaustive research and interviews with customers, recently placed Cognos top of its list of the 12 most influential solutions providers for 2004. They looked for the companies that were delivering the most innovative technologies to their customers to create the most value and the strongest competitive advantage. Their feedback showed that Cognos came in ahead of every other BI vendor, and they concluded, "To lead an industry doesn’t mean just being the biggest. It doesn’t mean making a lot of noise. It means having a compelling vision and the ability to make it real, so that you can help your customers be leaders themselves. Leaders deliver strong products, raise the bar for the entire industry and prove their value at every opportunity - that is what Cognos has done."
Cognos is rated by leading independent research organisations including Gartner and Forrester as the world leader in business intelligence and enterprise planning software. Its CPM solutions let companies drive performance with planning and budgeting, monitor it with score-carding and understand it with enterprise business intelligence reporting and analysis. Significantly, Cognos is the only vendor to support all of these key management activities in a complete, integrated solution.
Performance Systems is a division of Almasa Business Solutions (part of the US$ 400m Almasa Group), which identifies and develops specialised solutions companies that help to provide its regional and international corporate customers with a competitive advantage. The partnership between Cognos and Almasa Business Solutions has proved highly successful due to their strong synergy in terms of customer focus.
