[Johannesburg, 17 November 2009] -
In a move that will increase its relevance to its nearly 62 000 members, 29 000 of which are CA (SA)'s, the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA) has implemented a business intelligence (BI) system using ProClarity from Harvey Jones, South Africa's leading Microsoft-centric BI specialist and a company in the AIM-listed Avisen group.Jaco Venter, business information manager at SAICA, says: “As part of a strategic roadmap, SAICA decided to embark on a business intelligence project in November 2007. We evaluated a number of players in this field, and chose Harvey Jones due to the company's excellent track record.“We planned a BI project so we could get closer to our membership. SAICA is a non-profit organisation that exists entirely for its members. We needed to understand who they were, what they did, where they were and how they interacted with our institute.
