2. The Brix Group – Prophix story
Points from Ibrahim Seif after we won the business:
This was a competitive win over Insight Software which is a solution specifically designed and marketed to JD Edwards/Oracle customers
Early in the sales cycle, I asked a simple question: How important is cash planning to your business? The answer was “It’s critical”. We demonstrated the ability to plan key accounts affecting cash using the detailed planning manager similarly to the work we did at SAAB and Paul Eller, VP of Finance & Administration saw a way to improve a critical piece of their planning process.
