BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 1998--Bell Emergis has chosen the Renaissance Balanced Scorecard(tm) solution, powered by Gentia, to help the company track and measure its business objectives more effectively. Bell Emergis has also joined Gentia Software's developer partner program, enabling it to provide strategic feedback on future Web-enabled versions of the software.
Bell Emergis will use the Renaissance Balanced Scorecard software to link its objectives from the executive level down to the business level, ensuring everyone is working toward common goals. Key users will track the business unit's performance from their desktops and will communicate the information to the rest of the unit's 400 employees so that everyone knows where the company is headed.
"Bell Emergis' mission is to drive growth for Bell Canada beyond traditional Canadian markets," said Jim Tobin, president of Bell Emergis. "The Renaissance Balanced Scorecard will enable us to focus on monitoring and measuring our objectives. It will also let us provide feedback to users. This information sharing will enable us to shorten development cycles, bring new products to market faster and identify potential customers more quickly."
The Balanced Scorecard helps companies guide their business by using a set of financial and non-financial measurements such as customer loyalty, quality, revenue and employee knowledge. This provides companies with predictive, forward-looking views of their overall business, rather than focusing only on the short-term, bottom-line results.
Bell Emergis will automate its Balanced Scorecard structure using the Renaissance Balanced Scorecard software and roll it out to users in August via the Web. As a member of Gentia Software's developer partner program, which was created for the company's premiere customers, Bell Emergis will provide significant feedback and input into features and functionality of future Web-enabled versions of the Renaissance Balanced Scorecard.
"There is great synergy between Bell Emergis, Renaissance Worldwide and Gentia Software in terms of Balanced Scorecard management strategies and technology approaches," said Alok Prasad, vice president at Renaissance Worldwide. "We worked with Bell Emergis to help them put a Balanced Scorecard management strategy in place, and then brought Gentia Software in to help automate the process throughout the company."
"The Renaissance Balanced Scorecard was designed precisely for companies like Bell Emergis that realize the importance of communicating corporate strategy and promoting results feedback. The software will provide them with all the tools they need to quickly implement and maintain an automated scorecard so that they can ensure everyone within the company is moving in the same direction," said Win Burke, vice president of strategic alliances at Gentia Software.
