HSME, Hyperion's Middle East Distributor, participates in Gitex 2006

Hyperion, the market leader in Business Performance Management and one of the leading providers of Business Intelligence Solutions, will showcase its world-class Business Performance Management solutions in addition to meeting customers and partners from the region.

"Gitex is one of the largest international exhibitions in the world, which brings international technology companies together under one roof. Gitex is the only place where we can expect customers from all industries and market sectors to come together. It is a great forum for us to promote the Hyperion name, communicate the Hyperion message to the masses, meet prospective customers and partners as well as identify new opportunities,"

says Kenneth Powel, Sales Manager, HSME.

"The Middle East is a very important market for Hyperion. As markets become more competitive, companies from all sectors are looking to improve their "Performance Visibility" especially with the various laws and regulations imposed. Hyperion is perfectly positioned to provide companies with this visibility as well as help them improve performance, reduce costs, and create/sustain their competitive advantage. Gitex, therefore, will be an ideal platform for Hyperion to demonstrate its leadership capabilities as well as educate the market about the benefits of using Hyperion solutions," Kenneth added.

More than 10,000 customers - including 93% of the Fortune 1000, 77% of the Global 500 banks and over 1,000 global Financial Services companies, and 9 out of the top 10 telecommunication companies - rely on Hyperion to translate strategies into plans, monitor execution and provide insight to improve financial and operational performance. With Hyperion, companies can collect, organize and analyze data and distribute it throughout the enterprise using a rich, unified workspace that makes business performance management easier and more powerful than ever before. Hyperion solutions can help companies drive performance improvements by better aligning goals with metrics, increasing their operational efficiency and becoming more comfortable with the integrity of their numbers.

"Gitex is a great opportunity for us to meet prospective customers, identify new opportunities and promote our message to the masses. We will be looking forward to signing up new customers and forging new partnerships with vendors and channel partners," Kenneth commented.

Hyperion services fall into two main categories:
Business Intelligence: Hyperion BI+ software supports a company's BI standardization strategy by meeting the diverse reporting and analysis needs of every user in every department of the organization with one system that's easy to use and easy to maintain. Information consumers and producers across the enterprise gain the flexibility to quickly create, access, and share the vital information they need to drive better, faster business decisions. A simple but powerful user interface allows business users to service themselves with minimal reliance on IT for report creation. And a single point of deployment and administration, coupled with a modular architecture, dramatically reduces IT support requirements.

Business Performance Management: Hyperion Applications+ unites the entire management cycle of goal setting, modeling, planning, monitoring, analysis, and reporting into a single integrated system. Because Applications+ delivers an accurate representation of past performance and drives swift, confident planning and execution for the future, it supports "closed-loop" performance management. Thus, Applications+ provides a common, integrated view of your business, financial and operational performance and improves decision-making. In addition, Hyperion Applications+ helps you become more agile—so you can quickly and accurately model, plan for, and overcome new challenges. Hyperion Applications+ includes the following main modules: Planning, Financial Consolidation, Strategic Finance, Performance Scorecard, and others.

At GITEX Dubai 2006, HSME is looking to educate the market about Business Performance Management and demonstrate its various solutions in this area. Hyperion is also looking at attracting new customers as well as recruiting strategic partners in various countries in an aggressive effort to expand its partner network.
Hyperion will be exhibiting at Stand: H9-1 at Sheikh Rashid Hall.
