iRise Ships Visualization Content for SAP® Solutions
Pre-assembled visualizations speed time to value for critical SAP projects

iRise attended and exhibited at the annual SAPPHIRE NOW conference last week in Orlando where we announced two new SAP® visualization content modules. We generated a tremendous amount of excitement at the event as iRise is really the only way to fully experience integrated workflow, screens and behavior for SAP implementations quickly and without coding expensive sandbox environments. iRise is now being used at many companies as a strategy to accelerate time to value for SAP projects of all kinds. Our customers are telling us that visualization has the following benefits on these projects:

• Accelerates blueprint by 50%
• Accelerates realization by reducing rework by 50%
• Delivers 30% faster time to value: e.g. will compress typical 12 month project to 9 months
• Downstream training & change management teams get a head start on their work
• Visualizations act as exact guide for development partners; eliminating delays & cost overruns

iRise can be leveraged in four different usage scenarios for SAP implementations:

Visualizing 'Out of the Box' functionality - SAP screens can be easily captured and imported into iRise to visualize a baseline configuration of SAP functionality.
Visualizing Extensions - Fully experience proposed changes during blueprint to capture changes to baseline SAP screens.
Visualizing Integrations - Quickly understand how SAP implementations will fit into a complex end-to-end workflow and ecosystem of devices, IT applications and disparate systems.
Visualizing Custom Development - Easily simulate custom front-ends to SAP systems.

The iRise for SAP Solutions content module and the SRM Edition (which includes detailed visualizations of key business processes supported by the SAP Supplier Relationship Management solution) will be available in June. Click here to learn more.

iRise CEO to Moderate Panel at World BPO/ITO Forum

Once again this year, iRise is proud to announce its partnership with The 3rd annual World BPO/ITO Forum, to be held July 28-29, 2010. iRise CEO and co-founder Emmet B. Keeffe III is a member of the steering committee and board of directors for this prestigious event and will also be moderating a panel discussion entitled: "Global Sourcing Trends for 2010 & Beyond: New Business Models & Destinations".

As the global economy recovers, there is a general consensus that businesses will have to adjust to a "new normal". In a changed business environment, IT and operational decision-makers are being tasked with creating sustainable business value and driving incremental cost savings. Strategic sourcing, including a "rightshoring" approach which blends onshore, nearshore and offshore to offer optimal value, is an integral part of this directive. iRise is an important part of this process, offering a powerful way for companies to communicate more effectively with their global sourcing partners.

The World BPO/ITO Forum is an annual event that attracts executives interested in optimizing the use of human resources globally by seeking to outsource selected business processes and analytically understanding the trends and concerns that will impact the BPO industry's future. The World BPO/ITO Forum takes place on July 28th and 29th at the Hyatt Regency on the Hudson, Jersey City NJ. Click here to get more information and to register.
