interBiz, the eBusiness applications division of Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA), has announced that Ogden Park Management, Inc. (OPM), a company that owns, operates, and provides services to the entertainment industry across the U.S. and worldwide, has chosen Masterpiece/Net as its enterprise financial management solution.
With 14 locations worldwide operating amusement parks, water parks, family entertainment centres and attractions, OPM selected Masterpiece/Net to consolidate and advance its financial management operations. By taking advantage of Masterpiece/Net`s fully Web- ready functionality, each individual location will be able to access its own financials in a secure environment while OPM can manage financials across the enterprise from a single location. "Our choice of interBiz to provide our financial management solution made perfect business sense for us," states Randy Drew, senior vice president Ogden Park Management, Inc. "We wanted an enterprise application with full functionality that permitted us to manage our financial information on a real-time proactive basis over the Internet."
Masterpiece/Net`s thin-client architecture ensures full functionality at each location without the costs and time required for a full system implementation. Employees will have secure access to the full functionality of Masterpiece/Net through a Web browser, while OPM will be able to maintain one general ledger system; one accounts payable system and one fixed asset system. In addition, because Masterpiece/Net is database and platform independent, OPM will be able to expand and update its enterprise without being tied down to any specific platform.
"With Masterpiece/Net, the first 100% Pure Java certified financial management solution, interBiz was able to solve Ogden Park Management`s pressing business challenge of seamlessly managing multiple locations," says Michael Edry, senior vice president, interBiz. "In providing Ogden the tools they need to take full advantage of the Internet, we will ensure they continue to lead their industry with the use of reliable and innovative technologies."
