As part of our pre-GITEX coverage, TECHx secured an exclusive interview with Andreas Simon, Director Sales MEA at Jedox. Take a look at the responses we got.
Jedox: We’re excited to be showcasing our Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solution for integrated business planning at GITEX this year. This platform drives efficiencies and productivity by enabling the automation of repetitive business processes. It also strengthens collaboration by unifying planning across the organisation. With Jedox, you can easily move to Extended Planning & Analysis (xP&A) wherein every department can create continuous, company-wide plans that are more comprehensive, more agile, and more accurate hence organisations can finally transform their business with smart insights and intelligent automation.
Being present on the stand of Microsoft is particularly important to our regional strategy of empowering our customers to amplify their Microsoft investments with our solutions that seamlessly integrate with the technology giant’s suite including Excel, Office, Power BI, and Microsoft Dynamics. These integrations deliver best-of-breed planning capabilities for finance and other business functions, translating to greater productivity and more rapid outcomes.
Jedox: GITEX presents Jedox with the perfect platform to showcase our solutions to enterprise customers. With the main theme for this edition of the show being “AI everything,” there is perfect synergy between what attendees expect and the offerings that we will highlight at the show. We are thrilled to bring forth Jedox AIssisted™ Planning which lets organisations leverage advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) for continuous forecasting and smart insights. With its out-of-the-box AI solutions, this planning engine augments data preparation, enables predictive forecasting, offers intelligent recommendations, and unlocks smart optimisation.
This year’s GITEX is also particularly significant as it runs in parallel with the premier global event – EXPO 2020. There’s no doubt that the influx of international visitors to Dubai will have a positive impact on GITEX, offering exhibitors a chance to engage with a broader and more diverse audience than in previous editions.
Jedox: The soundness of our business model and the value proposition of our solution is proven in the game-changing US$100 million investment that Jedox received in early 2021. As a consequence, this year marks the launch of our vertical-specific solutions, which leverages the vibrant Jedox partner ecosystem and our strategic partnerships to expand our scope beyond the office of the CFO. We continue to assist businesses worldwide through our truly cross-functional Extended Planning and Analytics (xP&A) platform, touching every domain of the enterprise.
At GITEX, we aim to raise awareness of our mission is to optimise value creation through our leading-edge EPM solution, helping organisations outperform their competition, and enabling people to effectively collaborate in an increasingly fast-paced world.
