Métier Wins Award for Best New Business Intelligence Solution by the Stevie® Awards

Métier, The PPM (News - Alert) Company, announced today that their software solution, PPM Central™ received an award in the Best New Business Intelligence (BI) Solution category by the sixth annual Stevie Awards for Sales and Customer Service. This is Métier's ninth time being recognized by the Stevie Awards since 2008.

Métier's software drives project portfolio management (PPM) decision making to all levels in an organization--from knowledge workers to managers and executives. Métier's flexible, lightweight solution synthesizes the data already being produced by the organization to provide objective recommendations to make the organization perform better. The tool provides many smart planning tools and features, such as:

• Recommendations, which provide targeted collaboration to end users based on semantic work matches;
• Project Builder, which creates a statistical project plan from other similar plans in under 30 seconds; and
• Business Intelligence Decision Aids, which mine data within and outside of the tool for improvements across the organization.

Sandra Richardson (News - Alert), chief marketing officer said "Most people think about improving efficiency from the standpoint of making one big, overarching process tweak for the entire organization. PPM Central has provn that small, incremental tuning across the organization can yield even greater savings and requires less change management. The beauty of this approach is its simplicity. All of this data already exists; what we are doing is making it valuable."

More than 1,000 entries from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted to this year's competition, an increase of almost 30% over 2011. Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for "crowned," the trophies were presented to honorees during a gala banquet on Monday, February 27 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. More than 350 nominated customer service and sales executives from the U.S.A. and several other countries attended. The presentations were broadcast live by the Business TalkRadio Network.
