Gentia`s Renaissance Balanced Scorecard delivers enhanced deployment features, open integration with leading ERP suites

Johannesburg, 15 Jan 1999

Application expands network-centric analysis throughout the enterprise and leverages Gentia`s open architecture for enterprise performance measurement solutions.

Gentia Software has announced its newest version of the Renaissance Balanced Scorecard. The latest Scorecard incorporates new features that allow for the rapid enterprise deployment of strategy and performance management solutions.

The Renaissance Balanced Scorecard version 2.6 is more flexible and includes an enhanced enterprise management functionality, which allows companies to create a central repository of key scorecard components that can be re-used by end users to quickly construct their own scorecards and portfolios locally. The new and enhanced Enterprise, Theme, Initiative and Portfolio wizards make end-user deployment even easier, especially across large organisations. The integration with leading e-mail systems allows users and administrators to e-mail scorecard information and reminders to other individuals. In addition, support for event-triggered e-mails allows the scorecard system to automatically notify users about particular events when certain conditions occur. A further benefit is a Measure Analysis page that enables scorecard users to conduct ad-hoc analyses of various measures within the application. Users are also able to generate hard copy reports based on the Analysis page.

Gentia`s Renaissance Balanced Scorecards give businesses a leg up in their market space because they are able to refine corporate goals and objectives based on effective performance measurement. "Striving for competitive advantage, organisations are increasingly seeking solutions that enable rapid and successful implementation of their strategy, " says Glen Conradt, Managing Director of Gentia SA. " A key benefit of Gentia`s Balance Scorecard is the ability to easily integrate and work with all sources of data integral to measuring and managing corporate performance. Such integration further extends our ability to meet the demands of our clients seeking best-in-class strategy and performance management application that can be deployed across everyone`s desktop, " adds Conradt.

Unlike other scorecard solutions that are constrained to a single ERP system or limited in their ability to access diverse enterprise data sources, Gentia`s Balanced Scorecard easily integrates with all leading ERP systems, including SAP, Oracle, PeopleSoft, Baan, JD Edwards and supply chain management applications. The underlying open architecture for enterprise management solutions can be leveraged to easily integrate with an organisation`s information supply chain and work with all leading enterprise data sources wherever they may reside in the organisation. It also seamlessly integrates with leading relational database management systems, multidimensional data, sources via the Microsoft OLE DB for OLAP industry-standard API and other corporate data sources such as Lotus Notes and text files.

" Analytical applications offer the ability to integrate with a variety of data sources", says Liz Shahnam, Program Director of Application Delivery Strategies at META Group. " A key decision factor when selecting a Balanced Scorecard application is its ability to implement the desired Balanced Scorecard methodology, as well as the ability to tailor it to the organisation`s specific needs. Applications such as Gentia`s Renaissance Balanced Scorecard meet both of these criteria."
