Change Director , a locally developed software business application from Computime, is probably the first Maltese product to be featured in a Cool Vendor report by Gartner, the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company.
John Wood, Joint Managing Director at Computime, in reaction to a press statement issued by Change Director earlier this month, said that the company was thrilled that this very innovative product has been recognised by such an important insitution within the IT industry. The company’s team of software developers has been working in developing this product for a number of years, and it has now reached a level of maturity as its third edition was released earlier this year. This software tool is aimed at helping private and public sector organisations to better plan, govern and deliver their strategies and improvement initiatives. It has been deployed in a number of different sectors, including insurance, telecoms, airlines, government insitutions among others.
In the Change Director press release, Andrew Hudson, Founder and CEO of ChangeDirector stated, “We are delighted to be included in Gartner’s Cool Vendor report and see this as confirmation of our strategy to provide leaders and teams with a tool that brings together a broad range of governance disciplines with the highest quality report and dashboard formats. Leaders are looking for something their teams can quickly use to provide better insights and support more objective and informed decision making. With so much of this data kept in documents and spreadsheets there is huge potential to improve the performance of governance systems in a measurable and sustainable way using a central repository based tool.”
