De Mandemakers Groep (DMG) Selects Tagetik 3.0 to Optimize Performance Management
ARNHEM, The Netherlands, January 20, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
- Leading Dutch Kitchen, Bathroom and Furniture Company Deploys Monthly
Reporting and Forecasting Solution Based on Microsoft SQL Server
Tagetik, a global provider of enterprise software solutions for
Performance Management, Enterprise Governance, Risk & Compliance and Business
Intelligence, today announced that De Mandemakers Groep (http://www.dmg.eu),
a fast-growing kitchen, bathroom and furniture company based in the
Netherlands, has chosen Tagetik 3.0 to optimize its performance management
processes. This solution will replace the company's existing
spreadsheet-based system to unify the monthly close, reporting and
consolidation processes as well as deliver driver-based budgeting and more
accurate monthly forecasting.
After the evaluation process, DMG chose Tagetik 3.0 because it offered
the best functionality for managing and controlling its frequent
consolidation and reporting processes. The software will also help the
company gain insight into rising market developments through faster, more
effective budgeting and forecasting. Tagetik 3.0 runs on Microsoft SQL Server
database and is able to collect information from multiple ERP systems. The
software also incorporates Microsoft Excel, Word, and other familiar Offices
products as user-friendly interfaces for data analysis and reporting.
"In the past few years, our company has grown dramatically both in size
as well as in our international scope," explains Jeroen Maan, Financial
Director at DMG. "Currently, we are still using spreadsheets to consolidate
our data and prepare budgets and forecasts - with all of the usual
difficulties and uncertainties. We chose Tagetik 3.0 due to its built-in
functionalities and strong process integration based on a single source of
data. The low TCO helped, of course, as well."
In the first phase of the project starting in January, the company will
implement Tagetik's solution for monthly reporting and consolidation which
will replace its current spreadsheet-based system as well as to streamline
the financial close. The second phase, which is scheduled to begin in March,
will enable driver-based, monthly forecasting and budgeting processes.
"We are able to provide organizations an integrated Corporate Performance
Management application that is easy to use and maintain while providing rich
built-in features such as process workflow and audit-trail capabilities,"
comments Marco van der Kooij, General Manager at Tagetik Nederland
(http://www.tagetik.nl). "With DMG, we presented a live demonstration of the
software, conducted different workshops to analyze their requirements, and
developed an ad hoc proof of concept to show the software's capabilities.
This way, the decision-makers at DMG could truly understand how the software
would work in their environment and, ultimately, assess the value of our
software and the organization behind it."
"At Tagetik, we feel that it is important to build trusted, longstanding
partnerships with CFOs and other executives," adds Manuel Vellutini, EVP
Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Tagetik. "Our customer profits from the
strong integration with Microsoft technology as well as the excellent
cooperation between Tagetik and its Dutch partner UNIT4 Business Intelligence
Solutions (http://www.unit4.nl)."
