iQ4bis and SmartCubes Announce Partnership
Successful Deployment of iQ4bis in Microsoft Dynamics-Based
Fil-Pacific Organization
HOUSTON (Business Wire EON) July 7, 2008 --
iQ4bis Software Inc., a global software provider that offers an
end-to-end business intelligence
solution for business managers and executives in midmarket
enterprises, and SmartCubes Inc., a value-added provider of
technology solutions in the Philippines, today announced at the Microsoft
Worldwide Partner Conference a partnership in which SmartCubes Inc.
will exclusively offer the industry-leading iQ4bis Analysis™
and DataServer™ software suite. SmartCubes
recently completed the successful deployment of iQ4bis within
Philippine-based Fil-Pacific Corporation, a leading provider of clothing
under internationally known high-end brands such as Lee, Jag, Tribal
Gear and Von Dutch.
“Like many businesses, we had data in
abundance but it was located in different systems and could not be
accessed, analyzed and evaluated quickly,”
said Dale A. Roberts, vice president, corporate business of Fil-Pacific
Apparel Corporation. “We were unable to make
the right decisions for the future of our business. After looking at
many alternatives, we decided the best route was to utilize a system
that provided easy-to-use analytical
and reporting
tools that would still fulfill our business requirements. To this end,
SmartCubes was our partner of choice.”
Fil-Pacific utilizes the Microsoft line of integrated, adaptable
business management solutions including Dynamics NAV enterprise resource
planning (ERP) and Retail Management system (RMS), Microsoft SQL Server,
SharePoint and Microsoft’s Enterprise Project
Management System. The added capabilities of iQ4bis
enable the visibility of the organization’s
business data at an enterprise level.
“Fil-Pacific Apparel was a great project to be
involved with,” said Darren Taylor, managing
director of SmartCubes, Inc. “Not only did we
work together to develop their business intelligence strategy, but we
were also involved in updating their entire enterprise. To see the
solutions come together and the benefits Fil-Pacific are now reaping is
fantastic. Implementing our technology using `out-of-the-box' products
from Microsoft and iQ4bis without any customization to the core products
enabled us to meet Fil-Pacific’s strict
requirements.”
“SmartCubes reverse engineered our final
requirements, all the way through ERP, product development, project
management and document management,”
continues Roberts. “We instructed SmartCubes
that all of our systems have to work seamlessly together right out of
the box. SmartCubes achieved this by using Microsoft products and
partner solutions. The team also worked with us in developing new
business processes and aligned these to our business performance
requirements. The end result is that our data is accessible and visible,
and we now have ‘a single version of the truth’
across our organization.”
The iQ4bis suite of business intelligence solutions provides business
users with access to critical information including finance and sales. Data
warehousing and detailed reports enable users to view a historic
perspective of sales information as well as easily identify industry
trends and analyze sales performance.
“Because our solutions are flexible enough to
seamlessly integrate in different environments, our goal is to partner
with companies that understand industry-specific requirements for analytics
and reporting,” said Kaz Handa, vice
president of sales – APAC, with iQ4bis. “The
team at SmartCubes has the unique know-how that meets the requirements
of the business user, and we are very pleased to provide their clients
with an end-to-end analytical solution.”
