DLK strikes strategic partnership with CPI

Johannesburg, 07 Mar 2002

A strategic partnership deal has been signed between DLK Consulting and Collaborative Process Integration (CPI, which puts DLK at the forefront of developing and implementing business process management solutions.

CPI is the South African and Africa Premium VAR for IDS Scheer AG`s range of ARIS products, components, maintenance and support. The ARIS range of products and components enables an integrated approach to efficient business process management within companies.

DLK Consulting will use the toolset as a vital component of solutions offered to its customer and prospect base, says CEO Leon Hendricks.

"The deal with CPI will enable us to combine our track record in analysing and improving business processes to help our clients become more efficient and reduce operating costs.

"By using these tools we will be able to more rapidly pinpoint process improvements which will bring competitive and cost-saving benefits to clients within a shorter timeframe than is currently the norm. ARIS is particularly valuable now that businesses are under increased pressure to cut costs and get more benefits from their IT systems."

CPI managing director Dawie Jacobs says the partnership will open doors for ARIS, particularly into local government where DLK Consulting has a track record of proven delivery in streamlining process within waste and water management, transport and traffic control, records management and financial services.

"Our tools will add value to the expertise of DLK`s teams. We see great synergies between our companies in developing appropriate solutions to customers at a time when they are under budgetary constraints and increased competition."

ARIS product range includes professional tools for e-business engineering, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Quality Management, simulation and analysis of e-business processes, and prototyping.

These enable businesses to make quick decisions about the management of e-business processes and provide realistic simulations of resource utilisation, activity-based cost calculations, as well as web-based communication of modelled and optimised company processes.

But, as the market never stands still, ARIS helps companies manage for continuous improvement through a process of perpetual analysis, re-design and solution deployment.

The tools are ideal for those involved in projects that target business improvement - from management through process owner to central administration departments and responsible personnel in specialised departments.
