LAFAYETTE, CO--(Marketwire - March 31, 2008) - myDIALS, a company pioneering a new industry
standard in operational performance management, today announced a
partnership with Evolving Collaborations, a consulting firm focused on
performance improvement for multi-tier distribution channels. "Performance
Modules for Channels and Distributors" include embedded knowledge and best
practices from Evolving Collaborations, as well as analysis and
visualization of distribution channel metrics from myDIALS. myDIALS is the
first performance management solution to effectively link and immediately
present operations and business performance metrics as they change.
Delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS), myDIALS provides an interactive
display for consistent, timely analysis of Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs). The partnership enables manufacturing and process customers to
leverage industry best practices and obtain trusted, relevant metrics for
improved understanding, analysis and tuning of channel effectiveness.
"Because it's tracked via different processes, templates and tools, channel
and sales data tends to be dispersed and difficult to consolidate into one,
easy-to-read location," said Linda Moffat, Chief Collaborator, Evolving
Collaborations. "myDIALS enables all levels of management to access and
interpret quantitative data to assist in diagnosing the root cause of
channel issues and validating decisions. With myDIALS' new modules, users
can identify the most effective distribution channels and areas for
improvement, as well as determine ROI on marketing programs. On top of
that, our customers receive value quickly, as the hosted solution can be
rapidly deployed and configured for a specific environment."
myDIALS Modules encapsulate pre-defined knowledge of processes, roles,
metrics, KPI calculations, alert conditions, diagnosis information and
suggested corrective actions. The myDIALS Performance Modules for Channels
and Distributors help executives and managers pinpoint key drivers of
direct sales, channel productivity and growth. Metrics -- such as revenue
and growth by product line, supplier or vendor; field promotion
effectiveness; sales coverage; forecasts and pipeline -- are presented with
contextual information and guided diagnosis, enabling users to sustain
optimal effectiveness over time by monitoring the right KPIs and
referencing the knowledge base for better understanding and consistency of
behavior. myDIALS Performance Modules for Channels and Distributors can be
deployed as packaged solutions, or in conjunction with improvement
consulting delivered by Evolving Collaborations.
"Many companies in the manufacturing and process industries utilize
multiple distribution channels to take their products to market. Evolving
Collaboration's significant experience in channel optimization aligns
extremely well with myDIALS' visualization and analytics to address an
important aspect of operational performance for our target customers," said
Wayne Morris, CEO, myDIALS. "Through this partnership, customers benefit
from the combination of myDIALS' hosted solution, the pre-defined modules
and performance improvement methodology, as well as consulting from
Evolving Collaborations."
Through the Global Partner Program, partners gain a new annuity revenue
stream and can ensure sustainable performance improvement among their
client base, while clients can leverage the partners' best practices to
enhance their performance improvement initiatives.
