Elite and Clarity Systems Announce Strategic Agreement
Elite and Clarity Systems have announced plans to integrate the Clarity 6 financial reporting and consolidation solution in the Elite Enterprise brand. This announcement enables Elite Enterprise clients immediate access to the Clarity 6 software suite and offers these clients a seamless transition from Enterprise to 3E. The agreement builds upon the successful Elite and Clarity partnership which began in 2006 when Clarity's budgeting functionality was introduced into the Enterprise platform and expanded to an OEM relationship with the new Elite 3E brand in June of 2008.
The culmination of these three years of collaboration is the emergence of the Firm Performance Management standard, which brings together leading industry-specific planning, forecasting, consolidation and financial reporting solutions for legal and professional service firms on the Clarity 6 platform. Clarity Systems is a leader in corporate performance management (CPM) solutions. With this announcement, Clarity and Elite will offer Clarity's CPM solution to the entire legal and professional services market, introducing a new industry standard with Firm Performance Management. "With the recent announcement from Microsoft discontinuing their planning and consolidations products, firms are looking for a CPM solution on a Microsoft platform like Clarity 6," said Steve Buege, president and CEO, Elite. "Clarity's technology is unified and open, enabling us to offer Firm Performance Management to any legal or professional services firm running any major Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform."
