interBiz offers unique business command and control solution

In the era beyond ERP, organizations have raised their expectations and are now looking for ever broader integration of their business solutions within and outside of their enterprises. With the introduction of BizWorks, the Business Intelligence Suite, an open solution for application integration that will connect internal and external enterprise systems and support internet-based business activities is brought to market by interBiz, the e-business division of Computer Associates Inc. (CA). This suite adds value to the now centralized information resource through advanced analysis, predictive management and unique visualization techniques.

The BizWorks Business Intelligence Suite allows clients -- for the first time -- to extend more sophisticated levels of management over emerging Web-enabled technologies as the enterprise maintains established legacy business applications. "interBiz`s real-time business management solutions already reach far beyond standard supply chain management and enterprise resource planning strategies," states Leon van Emmenes, sales executive for interBiz Financial Group. "Coupled with the BizWorks Suite, this will enable business executives to look into the future before making accurate decisions that anticipate problems and analyse the outcomes of potential remedies, before finalizing a course of action," he continues.

As the new foundation for inter and intra-business communications, the BizWorks suite allows an array of enterprise applications, both from within interBiz Solutions` business applications and from partner, vertical and homegrown systems, to plug in and achieve enhanced value through this new business management suite. "The BizWorks Suite will be complemented by an integrated service offering to customize the solution to the specific requirements of each client," says van Emmenes.

By combining the core CA technologies with its own industry-recognized solutions from its business units, interBiz creates a powerful new business paradigm that offers clients access to CA`s complete spectrum of enterprise management, financial, manufacturing, and human resources applications, e-commerce supply chain management, and logistics management solutions. The business units include -- interBiz Supply Chain Group; interBiz Financial Group; interBiz Banking Group; and ACCPAC International.

"With the Internet providing the ultimate platform for customer-focused e-business applications and business-to-business services, pro-active organizations face the need for complete visualization of the supply chain. BizWorks surpasses traditional supply chain management strategies by providing companies with the power to visualize the entire enterprise, integrate a wide range of information from disparate internal and external sources and have complete intelligence," says van Emmenes.

BizWorks intelligent neural agent technology takes business applications to the next dimension by actually predicting future business events. Neugents monitor business processes and recognize sophisticated patterns in data and use this information to predict future opportunities and potential problems.

"We believe that BizWorks is the beginning of a new way to manage; the first companies to deploy this command and control solution will develop a unique strategic advantage," he concludes.
