MCI Consultants, the leading distributor for Applix`s TM1 product in South Africa, today announced that the latter has been named one of the `Top 10 Business Performance Management (BPM) Vendors` by BPM Partners in the July issue of DM Review. BPM Partners is one of the industry`s leading consultancies focused on the BPM market.
According to BPM Partners, the Top 10 list includes only established vendors that deliver comprehensive performance management solutions, focus exclusively on the BPM market, demonstrate a significant track record of business success and consistently produce innovative products.
"Customers succeed with BPM when they have a razor-sharp focus on requirements and evaluate vendors based on their specific needs," commented Craig Schiff, president and CEO, BPM Partners. "While the BPM vendor marketplace has more than 90 vendors, the Top 10 is a short list for companies seeking comprehensive performance management applications. In our experience, Applix`s customers have an extremely high rate of satisfaction, driven by the ease-of-use and high performance of the company flagship TM1 product."
According to DM Review: "Applix, building on its high-performance TM1 OLAP engine, has added a planning manager, a consolidation framework and a financial reporting solution to round out its BPM offering. At this point in time, Applix provides the necessary BI, budgeting, consolidation and dashboard tools to cover the core BPM bases. In addition, thanks in large part to their core engine, Applix is well positioned to address the burgeoning operational performance management area of BPM. Applix`s highly satisfied customers often place it at the top of BPM satisfaction surveys. The categories that customers highlight as being most impressive are ease of implementation, ease of use and performance."
"Our industry-leading TM1 application continues to exceed customers` expectations, in part due to its unrivalled in-memory analytics on 64-bit hardware, which enables high speed no matter what volume of data," added David Menninger, vice-president, worldwide product management and marketing, Applix.
"Independent assessments and evaluations, such as the `Top 10 BPM Vendors` list in DM Review, continue to confirm that Applix and TM1 lead all significant categories of BPM excellence: product performance and innovation, customer satisfaction, market success and company growth."
According to Menninger, these evaluations are mirrored by company behaviour in the marketplace. "Applix consistently grows faster than the competition and outperforms all comers in head to head comparisons," he concluded.
