Mitch Gross, President, CEO and co-founder of Mobius Management Systems has received the Entrepreneur of the Year Award for Southern New England, presented by Ernst & Young.

The Entrepreneur of the Year programme was founded in 1986 by professional services firm Ernst & Young and is produced by the firm. It is the pre-eminent programme honouring owners of outstanding and fast-growing companies. It recognises entrepreneurs who have demonstrated excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities.

Mobius Management Systems, which is marketed and supported in South Africa by Bateleur Software Solutions, was founded in 1981 by Mitch Gross and the current Executive Vice President, Joe Albracht, as a technology company. Today it is a US$55-million provider of packaged software to more than 1 200 organisations world-wide, including 58 of the Fortune 100 and several in South Africa.

The company`s "Electronic Document Warehouse" is an integrated suite of software products for high volume archiving and the viewing and archiving of transactions and documents in complex computing environments.

Sam Selmer-Olsen, director of Bateleur Software Solutions, says Mobius software provides compelling value to customers in two areas that best define success in today`s competitive environment: reducing costs and improving customer service. "Fast, online access to customer documents saves millions of rands in the costs of paper and microfiche," says Selmer-Olsen, "and by eliminating lengthy searches and call-backs, the time taken to respond to a customer enquiry satisfactorily is reduced on average from days to seconds!"
