Mapco Express, Inc. Selects Clarity Performance Management to Guide and Support Their Performance Management Processes and Systems
TORONTO, ON (August 30, 2005) – Clarity Systems, a world leader in business intelligence (BI) and corporate performance management (CPM), announced today that Mapco Express, Inc., a subsidiary of Delek US Holdings, Inc., and a leading gasoline and convenience store operator in the Southeastern United States, has adopted Clarity Performance Management as their planning, reporting and performance monitoring standard.
“We needed a solution that would not only improve our budgeting and reporting processes in finance, but that would also provide an integrated enterprise wide performance management layer,” says Assi Ginzburg, VP of Strategic Planning at Mapco. “Clarity is going to enhance Mapco’s budgeting, long term planning, capital planning, HR planning, and reporting processes as well as be used to monitor performance by delivering key performance indicators, metrics, and dashboards to Mapco’s management.”
During their evaluation, Mapco reviewed several products but one of the main advantages to choosing Clarity Performance Management was the technical adaptability that it offered. “With Great Plains for our GL, ADP for payroll, SQL Server and Microsoft Analysis Services already in place, as well as a variety of other source systems that we wanted to leverage, Clarity proved that CPM would provide us with seamless integration with our existing infrastructure” said Ginzburg.
“Mapco is another great example of how retail organizations are turning to Clarity to help them improve the way they develop, communicate, and monitor their goals and strategies to ensure these plans are aligned and made actionable across the entire organization,” says Marc Altshuller, VP Marketing, Clarity Systems. “Clarity has worked hard to develop and acquire an in-depth knowledge of the performance management needs specific to retail organizations. From this knowledgebase, we have been able to derive a series of best practices that our retail clients are now using to effectively manage and run their businesses.”
