NMI Group Selects Tagetik to Improve Group-Wide Reporting and Management Information

PRETORIA, South Africa, February 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

- Tagetik 3.0 to Simplify Statutory and Management Reporting Processes

Tagetik, a global provider of enterprise software solutions for Performance Management, Governance, Risk & Compliance and Business Intelligence, today announced that NMI Group (http://nmigroup.co.za/), the Southern African supplier of staple food and animal feed, has selected Tagetik 3.0 to simplify statutory and management reporting processes and provide timely and accurate management information.

"Our consumer needs, environmental conditions and economic situation are constantly changing and we need reliable, timely and insightful information to manage our business efficiently and help us keep pace with these changes. Our existing management information system does not cater adequately for these needs. Following a thorough evaluation of suppliers, we selected Tagetik 3.0 to ensure that we are able to meet all of our statutory and management reporting requirements," comments Andre Vermeulen, CFO at NMI Group.

Tagetik 3.0 will ensure that NMI is able to reduce the time it takes to compile annual and quarterly consolidated reports substantially and will enable the company to start producing interim reports - something it doesn't currently manage efficiently due to the complexity around the reporting processes. Tagetik will also ensure that NMI Group is able to deal efficiently with complex multi-currency requirements and regional interpretations of accounting standards.

Ernest Pachonick, Finance Manager at NMI explains, "It's currently time consuming to collect and process data for NMI Group requirements, so we're excited by the prospect of enabling the regions to manage and run their own reporting, and the ability for the Group to produce consolidated reports based on one set of standardised reporting.

"This is an exciting new customer for us," adds Manuel Vellutini, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Tagetik. "And, of course, another example of our ability to grow as a global player in the Corporate Performance Management market. Our international network of qualified experts provides an unyielding commitment to value and customer satisfaction and ensures that global organisations are supported with timely, customized and, above all, successful implementations."
