PRINCETON, NJ, October 27, 2005 -Peabody Energy has chosen the SixNet Business Intelligence System to support its performance improvement initiatives. Peabody Energy is the most recent addition to SixNet’s extensive client list, which includes industry and global leaders such as BHP Billiton, Entergy Corporation, Freddie Mac, Mellon Financial, and Royal Dutch Shell.
SixNet Intelligence solves a significant problem in the performance improvement world – the need for an easy-to-deploy, cost-effective and configurable on-demand technology solution that enables superior results from an organization’s improvement programs. SixNet is the alternative to static, costly, and incomplete competitive offerings, as well as to industry’s most popular current choices – home-grown applications that are costly to develop and maintain, or Excel spreadsheets that are cobbled together but provide management with no real-time visibility to the organization’s improvement programs.
SixNet Intelligence’s remarkable growth – more than doubling its client base since the beginning of 2005 – stems from a proven track record of providing significant value to clients in any industry, anywhere in the world. SixNet Intelligence’s leading position in the market is emphasized by the fact that it has – by far – the greatest number of on-demand users among competing applications – more than 15,000 and growing.
SixNet combines ease of use with powerful performance, enabling its customers to:
- Align efforts and resources to corporate objectives,
- Increase financial savings,
- Reduce cycle-times for project completion, and
- Provide real-time reporting.
“SixNet was designed to help companies gain, keep and increase their competitive advantage. Our market surveys clearly defined the inadequacies of competing products and solutions. By listening to these users, we have built a system that delivers quantifiable value and have been rewarded by more than doubling our customer base this year,” said Phil Newell, Program Director for SixNet Intelligence.
