SIX SIGMA QUALTEC INTRODUCES ENHANCED VERSION OF ITS SIXNET INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM
November 3, 2003
NEW ORLEANS — Six Sigma Qualtec (www.ssqi.com), a worldwide leader in providing performance improvement training, implementation and certification to corporations, today announced the immediate availability of the new version of its SixNet™ Intelligence System, the only software application on the market to provide solutions to critical business needs by fully integrating deployment management, knowledge management, e-learning and an on-line reference center, all within a single portal.
The announcement was made here at the opening of the IQPC Six Sigma for Service and Transaction Conference, a premier conference that highlights the opportunities for applying Six Sigma in service businesses of all sorts and the transactional operations of manufacturing companies.
"With information residing in various silos throughout a company, accurate performance measurement and deployment management remains a significant challenge. To meet our customers’ business needs, Six Sigma Qualtec has fully integrated a new eReference knowledge management module and e-learning delivery module within its SixNet deployment management and project tracking application," said Phil Newell, Six Sigma Qualtec’s Program Director. "This is the next generation in the evolution of project tracking software. The challenge for many Six Sigma organizations is finding a way to provide access to the various pieces of information that are critical to enhancing the results of their Six Sigma initiative."
SixNet v2.6 is flexible and easily extensible, delivering a full range of enhanced services and benefits in one comprehensive package. It is designed to help companies better manage their performance improvement methods, including Lean Six Sigma, Design for Six Sigma and Six Sigma Qualtec’s Business Process Management., manage the resources allotted to them, and quantify their results. SixNet seamlessly integrates five critical areas of support into one system, including:
- Advanced deployment management, providing executives with at-a-glance insight into financial reporting, and the ability to align projects with customer-driven initiatives;
- Detailed project tracking, using tools such as a centralized document repository, standardized project templates and critical issue alerts to ensure on-time completion of projects;
- Powerful knowledge management, leveraging benefits across the entire organization through project replication, full text search and hierarchical organization of the project knowledge base;
- Comprehensive online support, featuring an online reference center with proven training curriculum, industry cases, tools, and templates. Managers can add their own customized content, and more completely integrate enterprise-wide search results; and
- Independent e-learning, supplementing in-class training with full online curriculum for all levels and improvement methods.
The result is a completely integrated performance tracking system for business improvement that delivers results far beyond products from any other company today. For example, the SixNet system produces financial reports, identifying savings by strategic initiative, geographic regions, business units, departments, even by individual projects managed by Six Sigma Black Belts or Champions.
"SixNet Intelligence has been developed using Microsoft’s .NET platform, enabling us to quickly meet our customer requirements and offer customized versions at much lower costs than our competitors using Java platforms.," Newell commented. "As Microsoft continues to invest heavily in .NET, we will continue to pass these benefits on to our customers in the form of enhanced functionality."
SixNet is available from Six Sigma Qualtec in multiple configurations, on either a hosted or enterprise basis, with pricing beginning at $1,500 per month for 50 users. More information is available through www.sixnetintelligence.com.
