Steelwedge Software Forms Strategic Services Group
for Greater Value in Sales and Operations Planning
S&OP strategic business process consulting service organization
created in response to customer demand
Pleasanton, CA - April 9, 2008 - Steelwedge Software, the innovator in Collaborative Sales Forecasting and Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) solutions, announced today the launch of a new Strategic Services Group. The group will offer strategic business consulting services, assist clients in adopting best practice business processes, support organizational change initiatives, offer S&OP training programs, and provide planning analysis services.
“Continuous improvement requires putting the right ideas into action in a rapid and effective manner. It requires balancing insight with implementation, technology and tactics, big ideas and the bottom-line,” said Steelwedge CEO Glen Margolis. “This means moving well beyond a focus on technological success and examining S&OP adoption by all participants—the effectiveness of the S&OP process, evaluation of S&OP outcomes, creation and management of key metrics, and bottom-line results measurement.”
Steelwedge offers strategic consulting with a distinctly different approach. Analysis of client data provides unique insight into the current state process. Enabling a “proof-of-concept” working system allows forecasters, planners and executives to realize immediate value.
“This approach leverages our expertise and draws from best practice, hands-on, industry practitioner and consulting experience,” said Steelwedge VP of Strategic Services Rick Blair. “Steelwedge Strategic Services will also offer S&OP training programs which leverage in-depth industry experience and a large library of customer-driven best practices.”
