strategix's oneoffice solution shortlisted for the growing business awards 2004 "new product of the year"
 

Strategix, a European software house specialising in the development and rapid deployment of supply chain software, announced today that its OneOffice software package has been short listed in the Growing Business Awards 2004 ‘New Product of the Year’ category. OneOffice is a new generation of supply chain software that combines operations, finance, customer service and business activity management in one innovative system.

The Growing Business Awards are organised annually as a partnership between Caspian Publishing’s Real Business magazine and the CBI (Confederation of British Industry). The Awards -- now in their sixth year -- are open to all UK companies with less than 500 employees and have become a spotlight for recognising entrepreneurial talent in the UK. Gordon Brown, Chancellor of the Exchequer, who is a regular guest speaker at the Growing Business Awards ceremony, describes the Awards as: “The premier showcase of enterprise in the UK.”

“Strategix is delighted to be among the best of British businesses recognised by a nomination for the Growing Business Awards in 2004,” said Peter Lusty, chief executive of Strategix. “Our position on the shortlist for ‘New Product of the Year’ confirms the innovation that has gone into OneOffice enabling us to compete successfully in a market crowded with large multi-national corporations. OneOffice gives users complete visibility across the whole supply chain, so that they can make informed decisions to maximise business opportunities and enhance the customer experience.”

Digby Jones, Director General of the CBI, commented on the Growing Business Awards: “Thriving and innovative smaller companies are the backbone of British industry but all too often they are unsung heroes. These Awards are an invitation to share their success stories with us and help pave the way for even greater achievements.”

This year’s ceremony will take place at a Gala Dinner on Thursday 2nd December at The London Hilton on Park Lane. The evening is being hosted by William Hague and Gordon Brown has been invited to speak again this year alongside CBI Director General, Digby Jones.

About OneOffice
OneOffice is a new generation of supply chain software that combines operations, finance, customer and event management in one innovative system. This seamless approach maintains a 360° real-time view of an organisation, providing information as important events occur. Human intervention is automatically sought at critical junctures or if conditions unexpectedly change. This enables businesses to respond quickly and make informed decisions.

OneOffice has a component-based design, enabling businesses to select a solution that is right for them using a single package. The OneOffice product suite includes:

• Customer Relationship Management (CRM) to manage promotions and improve customer satisfaction
• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to streamline back office operations
• Supply Chain Event Management (SCEM) to detect and respond to critical events inside and outside the business
• Supply Chain Management (SCM) to reduce costs and improve customer service by automating processes with suppliers

The benefits of the OneOffice approach are many, including:
• Enhanced business efficiency, with software designed to meet the unique requirements of retail, service and distribution businesses
• Outstanding service levels, by ensuring that every business interaction is valuable for both parties
• Improved responsiveness and SLAs, by monitoring activities in real time and detecting opportunities and problems as they happen
• Feedback on business events and KPIs, using dashboards to deliver summarised information in real time
• Seamless front and back office, by creating a streamlined, low touch operation which - when conditions change - actively seeks human intervention
• Using one database and one intuitive user interface to avoid the significant cost and risk of integrating different vendors' software products into a hybrid system.
