Performance Management software to manage Group's financial results tightly integrated with Microsoft SQL and Office products

Tagetik, a global provider of enterprise software solutions for Performance Management, Governance, Risk & Compliance and Business Intelligence, today announced that Berendsen plc, a focused European textile service business which operates in 15 countries and a FTSE 250 company, has selected the Tagetik solution to simplify its consolidation and reporting processes.

Berendsen plc (http://www.berendsen.com) will replace a legacy system with Tagetik for consolidation of Group results to meet both Group management reporting and external reporting requirements. Tagetik's Performance Management software will run on a Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Edition database and is able to collect information from multiple ERP systems.
