Manage and Improve Effectiveness in Achieving Business Goals

Expanding its presence in the e-commerce space, CorVu Corporation, a leading provider of Enterprise Business Performance Management and Balanced Scorecard solutions, announced today an agreement with daly.commerce, the leading provider of enterprise solutions for eDistribution. Through this agreement, daly.commerce will resell CorVu's Balanced Scorecard and Enterprise Business Performance Management solution to its new and existing customer base, providing end-users with an intuitive strategic enterprise management solution.

"After evaluating other solutions, CorVu's ease of use, intuitive design and native interface to many different databases made it stand out from the crowd," said Mary Plante, Product Manager, daly.commerce. "Our customers can easily determine whether or not strategic goals are being met, how company performance metrics compare to industry benchmarks and most importantly how this is communicated throughout the organization. We are already creating a RapidAPP for our typical user base that ensures immediate return on investment for our end users."

The CorVu solution enables users to unlock the strategic value of enterprise data stores, enabling them to make more strategic business decisions. It provides a collaborative environment for managers and employees to exchange comments, which facilitates communication of strategic vision and initiative from the boardroom to all levels of the organization. With its simulated business modeling and statistical analysis functions, CorVu provides users with the ability to analyze business trends, forecast "what if" scenarios, track inventory accuracy and enhance corporate communications. The CorVu solution offers robust, multi-dimensional analysis capabilities, allowing users to interactively analyze a broad range of actual performance results versus planned targets or industry benchmarks using customizable graphs, gauges and reports. CorVu also features component-based design and Web deployment capabilities essential to e-commerce.

CorVu RapidAPPs combine pre-built reports, analysis, graphs, balanced scorecards and meta data to deliver prebuilt analytical solutions for many popular ERP and industry-specific applications. RapidAPPs draw data from either the transaction records of the ERP system or a data warehouse. Combined with CorVu Enterprise Business Performance Management and Balanced Scorecard solutions, organizations can effectively leverage their IT systems to realize immediate ROI.

"We are excited to partner with daly.commerce because it allows us to continue our penetration into the rapidly growing e-commerce market," said Alan Missroon, vice president of marketing, CorVu. "Through this agreement, daly.commerce will enable its customers to better understand company goals and objectives while providing a Business Performance Management system to effectively meet them."

About the Balanced Scorecard

Dr. Robert Kaplan and Dr. David Norton introduced their business performance methodology called the Balanced Scorecard in their 1992 Harvard Business Review article, "The Balanced Scorecard - Measures that Drive Performance." The Balanced Scorecard recognizes four dimensions that are integral to developing an enterprise view of performance: financial, customer, internal and innovation. Implementing the Balanced Scorecard as a business performance management system enables an organization to translate the mission statement and strategy into specific goals and measurements. These goals and measurements are communicated throughout the entire organization, thus providing a blueprint for how each employee contributes to the success of the organization.
