Business intelligence.

One of the country's largest accounting and consulting firms, J.H. Cohn LLP, and MIS DecisionWare, a provider of performance management and business intelligence software solutions, have released their Performance Power Zone (PPZ) program. PPZ has been designed for organizations that want to move from reacting to what is happening in their business to proactively driving future performance by moving into what the companies call the "zone" and "managing performance."

The Performance Power Zone enables organizations to optimize shareholder value and profits, set top-down financial and strategic objectives. manage strategic execution and consolidate data to provide a single "knowledge-based" view for management. The program gives top management the full benefits of J.H. Cohn's proven "Power Zone" methodology and benchmarks and MIS DecisionWare's leading performance optimization technology platform.

MIS DecisionWare says the combination of Cohn's methodologies and MIS DecisionWare's software -- already used by more than 900 organizations worldwide -- can create a new performance management solution within 8 to 12 weeks. The companies say that a limited number of Power Zone pilot program openings are available. Organizations can inquire about qualifying for the pilot program by contacting 973.679.2618 or visiting www.misdecisionware.info/powerzone.asp.
