Walker Demonstrates Latest Generation of Horizon PCA

Walker Interactive Systems Inc, a global provider of e-business solutions for the enterprise, will be presenting its latest generation of Horizon PCA at Budget-Masters 2001 in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 22, 2001. Walker will be joined by one of its leading customers in a presentation that showcases Walker's Planning & Forecasting solution, IBM's DB2 OLAP server and customized analytic tools designed specifically to address the complex needs of the retail sector.

The presentation will be given by George Hadgraft, director of product management at Walker and Rob Sheppard, manager of budgeting and analysis at Pep Boys, and will explore how implementing the Walker Horizon PCA solution enables businesses to overcome problems such as working with multiple data formats, disparate data sources, version control, workflow tracking, inefficient data integration to the company's financial systems and inefficient data storage. Walker will reveal how Horizon PCA gives companies the ability to carry out variance analysis, information drill down and complex modeling of "what if" scenarios to contribute to a faster, more efficient and insightful budgeting process tailored to the retail sector.

An integral part of Horizon PCA featured at Budget-Masters 2001 is Planning and Forecasting. Walker's Planning and Forecasting solution is designed to closely map to the budget process providing better communication regarding the company's strategic objectives to budget contributors. The distribution and collection of budgeting data can be easily transformed into tactical information driving actionable company performance.
