Oriel
and SigmaFlow Announce Integrated Training and Software Offering
for Lean Six Sigma
MADISON, WISCONSIN –
APRIL 2, 2007
SigmaFlow, a leading provider
of Enterprise Performance Improvement Software, and Oriel, a major
business productivity consulting and training organization, today
announced an innovative joint offering that integrates Oriel’s
Lean training content with SigmaFlow’s Project Portfolio
Management Solution for Lean Six Sigma. The offering will be available
for purchase by end-customers and for leading training firms to
integrate into their own engagements.
Companies face a major
challenge in Lean and Six Sigma deployments due to the disconnection
of training and reference materials from the software tools used
in day-to-day work. The Oriel-SigmaFlow joint offering links training
and software tools, from idea generation through project completion,
for the best productivity in Lean deployments.
“By combining Oriel’s
leading training methodology with SigmaFlow’s proven software
solutions, customers get synergistic productivity,” said
Jay Holstine, CEO of SigmaFlow. “The integration of Oriel’s
training content and SigmaFlow’s project execution tools
provides an end-to-end environment for achieving better results,
faster."
Alan Marash, CEO of Oriel,
explains: “We chose SigmaFlow because of their unique approach
to web and desktop solutions, which gives executives timely project
status updates by tracking actual work being done. Customers gain
improved knowledge-sharing and standards for project replication.
This solution essentially pays for itself in the first project.”
