Company Looks to Recruit New Partners in Australia and New Zealand
Sydney, 26 May 2009 - ComOps, a leading Australasian provider of business software products and services, is looking to recruit additional partners to fuel its burgeoning success in enterprise business intelligence (BI) deployments. Over the course of the past two years, ComOps BI solutions have been deployed in a number of ComOps Business Partner clients to enhance the applications they provide with purpose built analytics.

Promax, Sterland, and Satori Group are three ComOps partners which have deployed ComOps Microsoft based BI, Dashboard (Sharepoint), reporting, and analytics and Excel add-in functionality integrated into their offerings.

“Our partner channel is an integral part of our business model and it enables us to further capitalise on the growing interest in BI solutions across diverse markets. We are always on the lookout for partners who have expertise in enterprise software deployments and want to complement their existing offerings with a robust analytics option,” says Cameron Brown, Sales and Marketing Director, ComOps.

Promax, a ComOps partner since 2007, has successfully integrated the ComOps BI OLAP and relational reporting tools within its own offering known as Analytx BI. “With a heritage of success in the fast moving consumer goods market, we wanted to concentrate on our core capability in trade promotions software and ComOps successfully complements the solution with feature rich business intelligence functionality.

“As customers increase the sophistication of their trade promotions management they need to view information in different ways aligning it to their tactical and strategic goals. Analytx is key to this because it provides our customers with richness, visibility of it’s KPI’s and flexibility.

“ComOps has allowed our company and product to go to market quickly and reliably. Our customers love the ease of use and graphical nature of the product and we remain pretty bullish about the outlook for the next 12 months,” says Ian Jansen, Chief Executive Officer, Promax.

Sydney-based Satori Group’s Business Development Manager, Phillip York, agrees with this assessment. “ComOps has successfully filled a gap in our own planning and forecasting product offering over the past year. We’re now able to offer clients the option of deploying a robust, proven and feature rich ComOps solution in budgeting, forecasting and reporting while at the same time providing our business with a new revenue stream.

“Not only do we have a successful, strong working relationship with ComOps management but we are delighted with the results to date across all the verticals which we target including media, retail and financial services.”

Similarly, ComOps partner, Sterland Computing has integrated ComOps BI into its ProStix business management software designed specifically to deliver benefits for the timber, building and plumbing industries. We evaluated several products on the market and concluded that ComOps provided us with the most valuable enhancements to our product portfolio. Customer feedback on ComOps has been extremely encouraging,” says Greg Thomas, Chef Executive Officer, Sterland Computing.

“Sterland Computing, Promax and Satori Group are well respected and experienced companies with strong knowledge of enterprise business application requirements. With a broad base of customers and a consultative approach, we have appointed these partners to take our proposition to their prospects to complete the solutions they have to offer. We are working with each of them on new opportunities across Australia and New Zealand,” says Brown.
