QPR Software Plc, Helsinki based performance and process management software vendor and solution provider has established a local subsidiary in South Africa.
QPR Software Plc has been delivering solutions based on QPR products in South Africa for four years. “Because of our success with our existing customers like Standard Bank, SAA, Nike, J&J, KZN Provincial Government, City of
Tshwane, Municipality of Msunduzi, Khula and other African organizations it is clear that there is a genuine need
for QPR Solutions in Africa. QPR thus made a strategic decision to invest in a subsidiary to better support our customers and partners in Africa,” says Matti Kanninen, CEO, QPR Software Plc.
QPR Software solutions are unique due to the flexibility of the product suite. “As we are a Finnish company, and
technology is the most important export sector in Finland, the technology in QPR is world class. We aim to improve
the African economy by improving business performance, processes, risk and governance that will assist people to make informed decisions through creating insight to their business. QPR operations in South Africa are already delivering solutions for Performance Management, Process Management, Quality Management, Risk Management, IT Governance, Corporate Governance, Business Planning, People Performance Management and other that are directed to addressing customer requirements of today’s business environment in Africa,” adds John Paul Kirton, MD, QPR Software (Pty) Ltd.
QPR functions via a high scope partner channel that delivers QPR based solutions to QPR customers. “We are very happy that QPR understands the market and customer requirements in order to deliver solutions to the market today and in the future. QPR’s investment in South Africa is a sure sign of their commitment to both, us as their
partners, as well as quality delivery to their customers in the markets,” comments Leon Briel , MD, EBS.
The future business forecast for Africa is very positive, and as such, now is the correct time to start the investment
into this continent in order to take market share in selected segments. “There is a very good demand for QPR
products, QPR ScoreCard, QPR ProcessGuide, QPR FactView and QPR WorkFlow in South Africa and growing demand in some selected countries in Africa. Our strategy is to partner with leading management consulting companies in Africa in order to deliver automated solutions to all organizations aiming to improve their processes and performance,” continues Jari Jaakkola, SVP, QPR Software Plc.
QPR Products were built to integrate to the various other systems such as Business Intelligence (BI), Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP), Accounting, Budgeting and other legacy type systems that organisations might have implemented. QPR’s role is to take the relevant information from those systems, add the business rules so that business people can make informed decisions based on qualified information and collaboration.
