Avant-Garde Tool to Better Track Districts' Financial Indicators Comes to Life through the Partnership between Merkurium & Altus Canada Toronto, ON, August 25, 2006- One of a Director's duties, among many, includes seeking solutions to guide children in their community to academic success. However, this task requires administrators to carefully allocate limited financial resource and properly track data on expenditures. A newly-formed partnership between Merkurium and Altus Dynamics bridges this gap, connecting easy-to-use tools and educators. The partnership enhances value for school boards by deploying a collaborative framework for access and tracking financial indicators of school Boards. Working together, Merkurium and Altus Dynamics bring to market an integrated solution tailored specifically to School Districts . The Altus business management solution connects to Skopus Data warehousing environment thus providing easy access to performance indicators through scorecard and dashboard and extensive reporting and analysis capabilities. Their combined efforts are designed to assist schools to better track budget using performance indicators, thus allowing schools to manage their goals on budget. “This partnership will contribute to reducing risk and lowering total cost of ownership for School Districts since both applications have a common Microsoft platform,” says James Faw, Partner at Altus Dynamics . “This common platform ensures a deep and seamless integration between our solutions, in addition to reducing the number of platforms that need to be supported by the district.” Merkurium specializes in performance indicators and data warehousing applications. They are a leader in the K-12 market with Skopus, a software tool intended for the detection and tracking of “students at risk” in order to improve student achievement. Thanks to its user-friendly and features-rich web-based interface, Merkurium's Skopus can be used by Directors, Superintendents, Principals and Analysts to easily access their financial scorecard.
