Home Properties Selects CSI - The Center For Data Warehousing for
Strategy, Vision Selection and Validation EAST HANOVER, N.J., March
11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Conversion Services International,
Inc. (CSI - The Center for Data Warehousing) (OTC Bulletin Board:
CSII.OB), was selected by Home Properties, Inc., to conduct a
vendor-independent assessment for a business intelligence solution.
Home Properties, a real estate investment trust (REIT) which owns,
manages and acquires apartment communities in the Northeastern,
Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern United States, sought assistance with
the selection of an end-to-end business intelligence solution to
enrich the value of their ERP investment and to deliver significant
value to their Business Constituency in a shorter period of time.
Home Properties had narrowed the selection process for "End-to-End
Business Intelligence Solution(s)" to two highly qualified vendors,
and then leveraged the expertise of CSI-The Center for Data
Warehousing to guide the assessment and selection process. CSI's
understanding of the strategic requirements for a complete,
end-to-end business intelligence solution, as well as their "best
practices" methodology made them the perfect partner to facilitate
the evaluation, validation and selection process for Home
Properties. Chris Berson, Home Properties' Director of Application
Systems Support, added, "CSI - The Center for Data Warehousing's
contribution to our recent evaluation of Business Intelligence and
Data Warehousing technology was invaluable. It is always a
challenge to drill through the vast quantities of information
vendors bring to the table. But CSI's expertise in the Business
Intelligence Technology arena, coupled with their skill in
documenting and presenting pertinent information, helped us focus
on features, functionality and architectural issues that would lend
to, or detract from, our strategic needs. As a result, we feel
comfortable with our final selection, and know we have a solid
baseline onwhich we can build as we evolve our implementation of
business intelligence enterprise-wide." "CSI - The Center for Data
Warehousing played a major role as an objective advisor and
leveraged its core competency to mentor, educate and provide the
necessary knowledge transfer to assist Home Properties with their
selection of an end-to-end business intelligence solution," said
Tim Furey, Practice Director, The Center for Data Warehousing. "Our
proven 'best practices' methodology for Business Intelligence
Assessments -- which emphasizes a vendor independent approach --
has once again added significant value to the overall assessment
process and positioned Home Properties to advance the strategies
and objectives of their business." About Conversion Services
