Intellient, the local distributor of Hyperion in southern Africa, has brought home its fifth consecutive Hyperion EMEA Distributor of the Year award, continuing its partner reputation as a strong revenue generator, customer relationship manager and business relation.
The award was presented to Intellient`s managing director, Marc Scheepbouwer, by Mercedes Ellison, Hyperion`s vice-president of worldwide partners, at the annual EMEA Hyperion Partner Forum, hosted in Barcelona in 2005.
"Taking home this award for the fifth year running is indicative of our continued success in bringing value to our customers and extending the power of business intelligence and business performance management into the southern African market," Scheepbouwer says. "As a Hyperion partner, we play a vital role in bringing innovative solutions and technologies to our customers, enabling them to make better business decisions, faster."
Intellient achieved this accolade yet again for several reasons:
* Living the Hyperion vision;
* Getting the crucial business performance management message to market;
* Continuing to improve customer relations and win new deals;
* Successfully integrating upgrades into the product solution set; and
* Introducing new Hyperion products as they are released.
"Analysts such as Gartner and META Group are unequivocal in their endorsement of business intelligence and business performance management, a space Hyperion pioneered and now leads according the Gartner`s Magic Quadrant 2005," Scheepbouwer says. "It is testimony to the vision of our clients that they have embraced the business performance management approach, positioning themselves for outstanding corporate governance and competitive advantage."
The forum, part of the Solutions 2005 Hyperion International Conference, drew more than 200 attendees.
Including Intellient, six companies were recognised for excellence in the development and delivery of business intelligence and business performance management solutions using Hyperion technology. Awards were also given for EMEA Software Partner of the Year, EMEA Systems Integrator of the Year, EMEA Regional Reseller of the Year, Regional Consulting Partner of the Year and Platform Partner of the Year.
"Companies are increasingly recognising the importance of gaining insight into their operations to proactively manage their business," says Alain Blanc, vice-president of EMEA at Hyperion. "Hyperion believes that innovative solutions, superior technologies and strong partners are the key ingredients to providing customers with the solutions they need to act on this insight."
