River Logic, Inc., a provider of Integrated Business Planning (IBP) and business modeling software, has announced closer integration of its business planning applications with SharePoint Server 2007 to provide better collaboration in the planning process. The new product Enterprise Optimizer with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 integration is available right away.
The company says that the integration builds on the strengths of each application to provide comprehensive Integrated Business Planning. The scalable and searchable Office SharePoint Server 2007 platform combined with Enterprise Optimizer provides users with an effective way to closely collaborate, facilitating better business insight for improved decision-making.
"This move by River Logic can enable customers to maximize their BI and collaboration investments," said Kathleen Winder, director of SharePoint Marketing at Microsoft. "We're excited to see River Logic's commitment to the SharePoint platform and believe this integration can deliver users real productivity improvements."
Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides an infrastructure for building collaborative portals that make it possible for companies to share information and documents across teams, departments, and large organizations easily, reliably, and securely.
River Logic says that the combined solution supports strategic modeling (e.g., marketing and supply chain strategies, capex allocation, workforce capacity, M&A, etc.) as well as tactical planning processes (e.g., S&OP, master planning, etc.). Additionally, the integration increases visibility to improve decision-support on the profitability of resources (e.g., products, customers, and channels).
"As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, we've built upon the strengths of Enterprise Optimizer and Office SharePoint Server 2007 to enhance decision-support for the entire enterprise," stated Kevin Howe, CEO for River Logic. "These complimentary technologies give businesses even greater control over business intelligence and empower all users to make more informed business decisions."
