April 2008. Monterrey, Mexico - April 2008. 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 Rodríguez, IT Manager of Aeroméxico 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 Rodríguez. Besides the use of the knowledge base, Bitam G6 gives Aeroméxico 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 Ávila, 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, Ávila was able to automate the budget approval process, drastically reducing the time. It gives the company the tracking they need to control the process. Rubén 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, such as Home Depot, HEB Grocery Company, and Hewlett Packard attended the conference, held April 10, 2008. Sponsors included Microsoft, HP, Sybase, and Strategy Execution Consulting. About Bitam |
