Turnpoint Solutions Announces Expansion of Business Intelligence Service Programs For Mining, Transportation and Utility Industries

DENVER, Colorado— July 6, 2007-Turnpoint Solutions LLC (Turnpoint) announced today the expansion of its global business intelligence services programs for its customers in the mining, transportation, and utility sectors. With the addition of four business intelligence integration services contracts in the first half of 2007, Turnpoint has also expanded its team of business intelligence professionals to support continued practice growth.

Turnpoint’s business intelligence programs include value-added services and integration toolkits designed to bridge the gap between enterprise resource planning (ERP)/enterprise asset management (EAM) solutions and leading business intelligence applications.

Turnpoint’s consultants conduct strategic business performance management assessments for clients with a particular focus on asset and inventory management, IAS financial reporting, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, and key performance indicator development. Working in partnership with client IT staff, Turnpoint consultants provide services to ensure seamless and consistent data warehousing, reporting and analytics during ERP system upgrades and system replacements.

Turnpoint’s business intelligence services also support customer compliance with SOX section 302 and section 404 which compels clients to take a deliberate look at business processes, risks, and accounting controls. Turnpoint helps its clients leverage business intelligence solutions not only to achieve regulatory compliance through control management and reporting, but also to improve underlying business processes and knowledge management programs.

Turnpoint Solutions chief executive officer Rick Higdon remarked, “Turnpoint Solutions continues to expand its integration and implementation services and staff for business intelligence solutions. As our customers expand their use of commercial business intelligence products to manage and report against key risk and financial controls, we see increased opportunities to deliver value.”

Turnpoint Solutions Australian practice manager Chris Dabic concluded, “In Australia and New Zealand our business intelligence practice has helped us land new customer accounts and expand services to existing clients. Our customers value our product-independent approach that focuses on leveraging installed capabilities of current software while bridging the gap between ERP and business intelligence solutions.”
