Rethink becomes an accredited Solution Partner of Nimbus

Issued by Global Research Partners for Rethink

Johannesburg, 15 Nov 2005

Rethink Management Consulting today announced that it has been appointed the first accredited implementation partner in Africa for Nimbus.

"The step for any organisation going forward from a Business Process Management (BPM) perspective is to fully understand and document the current processes of that organisation," commented Kem Tissiman, MD of Rethink. "The control-ES product from Nimbus enables a company to do exactly this and thus being accredited by Nimbus for the implementation of this software complements many of our consulting activities, including the undertaking of `product-independent` BPM activities. Thus, we are delighted to have established a relationship with Nimbus in this way for Africa."

"Likewise, we were looking for a creditable South African organisation with which to partner and Rethink fits that profile admirably," added Mark Cotgrove, SVP Alliances of Nimbus. "We are looking forward to having a long and mutually beneficial relationship over the coming months and years as we have already been working with Rethink for some time."

Nimbus Partners, a UK-based organisation, develops and implements a process mapping and performance management solution called control-ES, which enables strategic initiatives to be adopted throughout an organisation consistently, from the CEO to the call centre operator, from finance to logistics. Using control-ES companies can measure and gain visibility of end-to-end processes throughout the organisation, define each individual`s role, responsibility and accountability, and actively promote collaboration between departments, functions and individuals.

Nimbus has been named in numerous awards for growth over multiple years, including the Deloitte Technology Fast 50, Sunday Times Fast Track 100 and European Fast 500 awards, and has an impressive client list of over 200 clients with more than 250,000 users in 15 countries including: Akzo Nobel, Avaya, Cornhill Insurance, DaimlerChrysler, DHL, GlaxoSmithKline, JP Morgan Chase, Lockheed Martin, Orange, Philips, Schroders, Taylor Woodrow, Telewest, Total, Toyota and Vodafone. In South Africa, control-ES is already being used by Business Connexion and Cell-C.
