Solutions Overview

Effectively managing an enterprise requires a high degree of business coordination and alignment across diverse departments, or “Business Communities”, within the organization. Examples of Business Communities are Sales, Manufacturing, Marketing, Planning, Finance, Distribution, and Procurement. Cross-departmental, or "Virtual" Business Communities may also be formed, sometimes temporarily, and typically to drive a particular project or initiative. Business Communities may measure performance in different ways, use different sources of information, and take actions without consideration of how other parts of the business may be affected. Results of these inefficiencies can include lost business value as a result of data-to-action time latencies and/or a course of action that does not maximize profit for the company as a whole.

Sterna Technologies addresses these challenges with its patented Sterna Business Positioning System™ (BPS). Much like a GPS, Sterna BPS navigates and focuses Business Communities to the organization’s targets, provides central and common visibility to all users, is simple and intuitive to use, and is updated and aligned at all times with your dynamic business environment.

Through the use of Packaged Libraries, Sterna BPS analytics applications are delivered in weeks, if not days. Sterna Packaged Libraries are a broad set of business schemas, mathematical models, and graphical Business Views that are predefined by Sterna Technologies and its partners based on industry reference models (for instance, the SCOR model for Supply Chain Management) and best practices. They are leveraged to compose analytics applications that are specific to the industry and to the Business Communities within. Industries that Sterna Technologies addresses include Food and Beverage, Chemicals, Travel, Distribution, Manufacturing, and Finance.
