PricewaterhouseCoopers And IntelliCorp Form Global Alliance
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 2, 2000--
PricewaterhouseCoopers To Use IntelliCorp's Business Process Management Tools As Part of Its Ascendant(TM) SAP R/3 Implementation
Methodology Offerings
PricewaterhouseCoopers, the world's leading professional services organization, and IntelliCorp (Nasdaq:INAI), a leading provider of e-business and CRM solutions for the SAP community, today announced a global alliance to help companies achieve rapid implementation of their SAP solution, based on PricewaterhouseCoopers' Ascendant(TM)SAP implementation method.
Ascendant SAP is PricewaterhouseCoopers' robust and powerful implementation method, aligning people, process, knowledge and technology to help complete projects sooner and at less cost to clients. PricewaterhouseCoopers will now offer clients IntelliCorp's LiveModel(TM) SAP R/3 Edition and LiveCapture(TM) products, respectively, as part of Ascendant SAP.
LiveModel is a collaborative environment for describing, managing and transforming business processes. LiveCapture is a product used to consolidate and improve SAP projects after original implementation. PricewaterhouseCoopers' global clients that are implementing SAP can use both products, which are part of PricewaterhouseCoopers' Ascendant method.
"Our customers implementing SAP have need to standardize the business processes and operational methodologies associated with their SAP solution," said Chris Bennett, global leader of Methods and Tools, PricewaterhouseCoopers. "Offering IntelliCorp's products among the tools we use in our Ascendant SAP method will help our clients receive the full benefits and lower costs of their implementation."
By including LiveModel as part of their SAP implementation using Ascendant SAP, clients can understand and preview how various business changes or scenarios could impact R/3 without waiting for them to actually happen.
LiveCapture will be used by PricewaterhouseCoopers to assist in delivering efficient services to clients after original implementation by including activities such as multi-site rollouts, R/3 consolidations and continuous business improvement.
The use of LiveModel and LiveCapture will allow PricewaterhouseCoopers to compare their benchmark key performance indicators (KPIs) with actual data captured during R/3 operation," said Ken Haas, IntelliCorp CEO. "This will allow PricewaterhouseCoopers to help define the best possible path of continuous business improvement for each of their clients." |
