(NYSE: BE), one of the world’s largest management and technology consulting firms, today announced it received the Oracle® North America Titan Partner Award 2006 in the category of Business Intelligence Solution for solutions BearingPoint has provided to clients over the last year.

“We’re very pleased to be honored for our work on innovative Business Intelligence Solutions leveraging Oracle applications and technologies as proven by our deep industry expertise to provide successful business intelligence projects,” said Robert Hershey, senior vice president and managing director, BearingPoint Global Oracle Solutions Practice. “We’ve strategically aligned our resources with the Oracle Sales, Strategy and Development teams to optimize our ability to collaborate in the development and delivery of innovative business transformation solutions. Our cross-competency teams have been working with Oracle extensively, giving us more experience on Oracle technologies, and helping our clients greatly reduce their risk.

BearingPoint’s Corporate Performance Management and Business Intelligence solution focuses on creating virtually seamless links from the dashboard to analytical tools; using intuitive role-based reporting, causal analysis and exception alerts; as well as generating standard static reports, real-time updates and links to email and other communications. As a result, an entire organization - from its chief executive officer on down - has a single point of access to an integrated dashboard of financial, operational and competitive performance metrics for its business. The solution also provides virtually seamless access to a range of management tools – all based on a consistent set of fully integrated enterprise performance data from all key transaction systems. With this capability, managers can readily measure and manage the key performance drivers needed to make coordinated decisions, support enterprise strategy and generate valuable operational efficiencies across the company.
“BearingPoint has been a solid partner, working closely with Oracle and our customers to improve access to data, develop insights from that data and to leverage results to create, sustain and build value – they impress us time and again with intelligent, innovative and out-of-the-box solutions,” said Rauline Ochs, group vice president of North America Channels at Oracle.
To deliver an integrated BI solution, BearingPoint took the lead in consolidating its Oracle, Peoplesoft and Siebel practices to create cross-competency teams to leverage deep industry expertise and further align itself with Oracle’s next generation solution set. The company has also worked with multiple clients to leverage required investments in compliance solutions to create competitive advantage. As a result, BearingPoint can deliver a highly customized solution, designed to meet varying business intelligence requirements. For example, Basel II compliance is particularly critical for today’s large investment banks in the financial services sector. BearingPoint combines its deep industry, business process, technology and implementation expertise to deliver an integrated solution designed specifically to meet the challenging requirements of this mandate, while delivering business value on an accelerated timeline.
