Johannesburg, 17 Dec 2009
Ventana Research, the leading benchmark research and advisory services firm providing expert guidance to help organisations manage and optimise performance, has awarded QPR's technology with the Overall Performance Management Leadership Award. QPR participated in the Ventana 2009 Leadership Awards with its customer case of Bosch Siemens H"auseger"ate's Turkish subsidiary, BSH Ev Aletleri Sanayi ve Ticaret AS.
The Ventana Research Leadership awards recognise those organisations that have most effectively delivered business success using people, process, information and technology best practices. Awards are presented in several categories.
"The Ventana Research Overall Performance Management Leadership Award recognises an organisation and team or individuals that have most successfully maximised the value of all of the organisation's assets - people, processes, information and technology - at the enterprise level to achieve the organisation's goals and objectives and deliver optimal performance," says Mark Smith, CEO and EVP Research, Ventana Research, and continues:
"In the QPR/BSH case we were impressed by the business impacts: the time needed for top management's monthly performance meeting is significantly decreased by roughly 50%. This is possible as the processes are continuously improved by process managers. In addition, internal departments are regarded as customers, and process changes are directly modelled, confirmed and published."
"As Ventana Research has in-depth knowledge of hundreds of technology providers, we are happy to congratulate QPR Software for their QPR ScoreCard Performance Management software that has helped 2009 Award winner BSH to reach their objectives. Winning the Ventana Research Leadership Award requires excellence in business and technology and in 2009 QPR was the enabling technology for the overall winner," says Mark Smith.
"I am honoured to receive these congratulations from Ventana Research and welcome this Overall Performance Leadership Award as a sign of QPR doing the right things in a right way. I am impressed by the excellent implementation team, including BSH members and our German reseller partner Protema," says Jari Jaakkola, QPR CEO.
Deployment and implementation of QPR software to the performance monitoring and measurement needs of BSH Ev Aletleri Sanayi ve Ticaret AS was executed by QPR's German advanced value added reseller, Protema Unternehmensberatung.
Earlier in 2009, the dynamic Performance Measurement System of Bosch's plant in Bursa, Turkey based on QPR's performance management software was awarded by the European Foundation for Quality Management, EFQM Excellence Award and with the prize in the Management by Processes and Facts and Partnership Development category. The work safety best practice of the Finnish subsidiary of the international construction Group Skanska based on QPR's performance management software was awarded at the European Campaign on Risk Assessment competition.
