ORANGE PEEL AND CALUMO GROUP FORM STRATEGIC ALLIANCE TO TAKE ENTERPRISE BUSINESS PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT TO THE MICROSOFT DYNAMICS COMMUNITY

A Shared Vision for Joint Technology to Drive New Growth Opportunities



SYDNEY & LOS ANGELES – 31 March, 2009 — CALUMO Group and Orange Peel Corporation have today announced a strategic alliance based on their joint release of Budgeting, Forecasting and Reporting (BFR) for Microsoft Dynamics for Business Performance Management. The application will provide an effective and scalable entry point for all Microsoft Dynamics users to set a roadmap for business intelligence and planning, leveraging the Microsoft Business Intelligence platform.

“Orange Peel has the deep understanding of BPM, the US market and the Microsoft Dynamics portfolio required to bring tremendous value to the Microsoft Dynamics community. BFR is the first fruit of our alliance and we couldn’t be more excited about the value it can create for Microsoft Dynamics clients. The first steps to enterprise BPM are always rapidly addressing immediate pain points and showing immediate tangible business value. Our applications’ emphasis on performance, reliability and ease of use make that a reality,” said Dominic Parsons, CEO, CALUMO Group.

Orange Peel CEO, Per Solli, further explains, “CALUMO 11 is the perfect platform for BFR. The Microsoft Dynamics community can now achieve immediate results needed to service their business and leverage their systems investment while staying firmly on the Microsoft platform. When businesses are ready and able to invest in their future to drive deeper deployment and greater value from their BPM, CALUMO provides the perfect answer for scaling on the Microsoft platform.” By engaging the companies at the technology and business levels, the alliance will allow both companies to drive new growth opportunities and improve productivity for its customers.

Orange Peel has elected to only offer BFR through Microsoft Dynamics certified partners. These partners have the extensive knowledge of their clients and the Microsoft Dynamics range required to ensure their clients reap immediate benefit. Orange Peel are working with both end users and partners to help them move through a road map for BPM that sees them doing better business sooner.
