MCI Consultants announced today that as a direct result of the shortage of IBM Cognos TM1 (TM1) skills worldwide and the strong relationship it has with IBM, it has made inroads into the African and Middle East markets, including Saudi Arabia.
"We have established significant expertise over the last 15 years in providing, implementing and supporting business performance management solutions and services within the banking and manufacturing sectors in particular, and it is the exploitation of this expertise and first-hand knowledge of these vertical sectors that has enabled us to penetrate this market," commented Aliki Droussiotis, Director MCI. "In addition, we have built up a wealth of TM1 knowledge specifically and it is this capability that has also added to our success in this part of the world.
"The model that has worked well includes undertaking any development that the users require in South Africa; doing the implementation and providing the training on the user's site; and then providing any further ongoing support from our base in Johannesburg," explained Droussiotis.
MCI provides mission-critical software and IT services to institutions in virtually every segment of the financial services industry. Its solutions meet a multitude of needs, but support a common aim, which is to help drive its customers' unique business strategies; whether that means increasing efficiency, improving customer service, complying with regulations, or capturing growth opportunities through innovation.
In addition, it has a proven track record of implementing successful planning and reporting applications for a number of banks and financial institutions across the Middle East and Africa, including South Africa's largest commercial bank.
