Ventana Leadership award
RECOGNITION OF EXCELLENCE
We are proud to announce that our client, Caterpillar Financial Services, has won the Overall Performance Management Leadership Award from Ventana Research for the most successful use of information technology to improve corporate performance. This prestigious award recognizes "pioneers and leaders" that have mastered the understanding of performance management and been able to transform their company missions into true realities.

By bringing the management team together, utilizing real time visibility and control to the needed tasks and activities, Caterpillar has defined performance management and been able to roll out its success to its many locations and customers.

Ventana Research is the leading benchmark research and advisory services firm.


Y-CHANGE CONTRIBUTES TO COMPANY'S SUCCESS
Y-Change is proud to be a contributor to Caterpillar's success, having brought to them an ability to organize, measure, integrate, and follow, the intricate activities and tasks required to be a Baldridge Award winning company.

By utilizing the Y-Change on-line application, they have been able to keep their management eye on all of the worldwide activities required to be nimble and ahead of the ever changing global economy. Providing their managers with more than a dashboard of facts, they have Y-Change ever available, at an internet instant, to apprise them of where their management resources are required and what the score is moment to moment.

The lengthy and tedious process of eternal meetings and presentations has been replaced by Y-Change's up to the minute ability to see all of the initiatives undertaken and their status. Without this, many additional dollars in travel, management time & money would be wasted, and lost forever.

Y-Change is a quickly learned and easy to follow way of managing, not only those day to day objectives, but the "break through" goals that make the competitive difference in almost any business sector.

Of course, we congratulate our great client, but we also congratulate the many other firms who have seen the solid benefits of sound strategic planning and execution.
