MADISON, Wis. — SigmaFlow, a leading provider of Enterprise Performance Improvement Software, and Oriel, a major business productivity consulting and training organization, today announced an innovative joint offering that integrates Oriel’s Lean training content with SigmaFlow’s Project Portfolio Management Solution for Lean Six Sigma. The offering will be available for purchase by end-customers and for leading training firms to integrate into their own engagements.
Companies face a major challenge in Lean and Six Sigma deployments due to the disconnection of training and reference materials from the software tools used in day-to-day work. The Oriel-SigmaFlow joint offering links training and software tools, from idea generation through project completion, for the best productivity in Lean deployments.
“By combining Oriel’s leading training methodology with SigmaFlow’s proven software solutions, customers get synergistic productivity,” said Jay Holstine, CEO of SigmaFlow. “The integration of Oriel’s training content and SigmaFlow’s project execution tools provide an end-to-end environment for achieving better results, faster.”
Alan Marash, CEO of Oriel, explains: “We chose SigmaFlow because of their unique approach to web and desktop solutions, which gives executives timely project status updates by tracking actual work being done. Customers gain improved knowledge-sharing and standards for project replication. This solution essentially pays for itself in the first project.”
