"Trendsetter" companies are victim to numerous problems and strains that are byproducts of rapid growth. Eight in ten of their CEOs see risk management and controls as important to the success of their business in the next 12-24 months. And one in four is expecting to increase expenditures in this area by an average of 20 percent over the next 12 months."
Fast Growth a Source of Problems and Risks for "Trendsetter" CEOs
PriceWaterhouseCoopers Trendsetter Barometer, Oct 3, 2001
Business Synchronization
Product Illustration (PDF)
Consider that nearly 75% of all development projects miss their targeted release date or are never completed. Fewer than 5% of all product plans have full customer requirements defined prior to starting design. And 40-60% of programming time can be wasted waiting for a manager to approve something, a contractor to finish an assigned task or a supplier to deliver a critical component.
What is needed is a tool to synchronize these disparate activities to insure initiatives are properly defined; are organized and staffed efficiently; that the right people are identified, empowered and tasked according to need; that accurate schedules and forecasts are completed; priorities set; and change is managed on a professional basis.
 
Our Approach
Since 1993 Intresys has been a recognized leader in building collaboration tools and workflow applications that span the enterprise. Its focus is on the Middle Office: the place where real work gets done; where projects are planned and implemented; where products are defined and launched; where capital projects are budgeted; and jobs, assets and tasks are allocated.
The Intresys ClartéTM suite of applications is targeted at engineering, marketing, product management, and development organizations as well as the professional services firms servicing their many requirements. Delivered via browser, Clarté empowers users to manage multiple initiatives, while working in real time with dispersed teams and interacting with business partners, vendors and customers.
