Clarity Systems showcases customer successes and thought leadership at annual user conference: Vision:07
Forth annual user conference draws over fifty per cent of customer base
TORONTO, ON (May 21, 2007) - Clarity Systems, a leader in corporate performance management (CPM) solutions, announced the start of its annual user conference, Vision:07, at the World Center Marriott Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Vision:07, held from May 21 - 23, 2007, will be the CPM industry’s foremost event with a record attendance.
“We are extremely pleased with the attendance record we have set at Vision:07,” says Mark Nashman, President, Clarity Systems. “Over fifty per cent of our customers are present which is a testament to our highly satisfied and dedicated customer base. This impressive turnout will provide a valuable networking opportunity for our customers to share their Clarity 6 successes stories.”
Thirteen of Clarity’s customers, representing a range of industries including retail, insurance, manufacturing, and financial services, will be presenting their CPM success stories. Customers such as Affirmative Insurance, AIMCO, Guardian Life Insurance, Grand & Toy, Delta Dental, and Cirrus Logic will share their performance management expertise, strategies and best practices.
“Our financial process used to involve compiling and analyzing many complicated and disconnected spreadsheets,” said Vision attendee Amy Basel, Supervisor, Accounting and Finance, Delta Dental. “Our Clarity 6 CPM solution allows us to streamline this process so we can conduct our HR planning and all of our budgeting in one interface. The skills, information and training we have acquired from Clarity events such as Vision has allowed us to extend our CPM solution with Delta Dental.”
Vision:07 presenters include featured industry experts and analysts such as Steve Player, Managing Director of the Beyond Budgeting Round Table and John Van Decker, Research Director of Gartner Research who will share his innovative ideas and vision for the future of CPM. Van Decker was the conference’s first keynote speaker and offered insight as to how CPM is highly linked to achieving business goals. “CPM software currently offers the highest potential of transforming the business in the shortest period of time,” said Van Decker. “This is because CPM software is becoming mature, and, if correctly implemented, enables organizations to identify opportunities and risks, support decisions, explore, measure, manage and optimize their businesses, and thereby drive business transformation.”
Conference attendees will also have an exclusive opportunity to test drive Clarity’s new software solutions including Clarity Financial Statement Reporting (FSR) and Clarity 6.1. Clarity 6.1, which was released last week, offers new functionality in financial reporting, advanced audit trail, activity tracking, full multi-lingual support and Microsoft Office integration.
