Partnership with Chenega Technology Services Corp., National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Will Help DMG Compete For Subcontracting and Prime Government Contracts

HAMPTON, Va., December 14, 2007 - Data Management Group, (www.datamanagementgroup.com), a strategic business intelligence consulting firm delivering end-to-end data management solutions, announced its participation in a three-year, Mentor-Protégé program with Chenega Technology Services Corporation (CTSC) and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), sponsored by the Department of Defense (DoD). Tammy Maschak, Mentor Protégé Project Manager for CTSC, which assumes the overall leadership role in this relationship, interviewed eight candidates over five months searching for the right company willing to make the commitment and financial investment. George Mason University and Hampton University round out the team and will make substantial contributions to Data Management Group's (DMG) success in the program.

The DoD Mentor-Protégé Program assists small businesses (Protégés) to successfully compete for prime government contract and subcontract awards by partnering with large companies (Mentors) under individual, project-based agreements. CTSC, a leading professional services company and subsidiary of the Alaska Native-owned Chenega Corporation, is a former Protégé in the program. In addition, the company recently completed a program with the Air Force as a Mentor.

The team has four overall objectives for DMG per the new agreement:

• Enhance DMG's capability to provide higher technical levels of Geographic Information System (GIS) services, training, and support. 
• Assist DMG in becoming a Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Level II certified corporation. 
• Assist DMG in evaluating and improving its overall business infrastructure.
• Enhance the materials and practices used by DMG to perform effective marketing, business development, market research, new business capture planning-execution, and proposal development.

The partnership will enable the other parties involved to meet various strategic goals. DMG and CTSC will support NGA's focus on improving technology transfer and component programs in a wide spectrum of technology areas. What's more, by adding DMG to its business network, CTSC will have a valuable partner that can bring business intelligence expertise to future joint projects. 

Traditionally, these partnerships have served as a platform to deliver a variety of innovative products and services specializing in environmental remediation, engineering services, information technology, manufacturing, telecommunications, and health care. Recently, new Mentor-Protégé agreements have focused on corrosion engineering, information assurance, robotics, circuit board and metal component manufacturing.

"Having been a Protégé ourselves, as well as a small business, we were anxious to give back to the program," said Matthew L. Markley, Director of CTSC's Operations & Training Division. "But as an additional benefit, we look forward to a long-term relationship with DMG that will benefit our clients as well as each company."

Health and Hygiene Giant Shares ERP Security Authorization Tool with the Masses

HAMPTON, VA - October 2007 - Data Management Group, Inc. (www.datamanagementgroup.com), a leading strategic consulting firm focused on helping organizations make better business decisions based on end-to-end business intelligence and enterprise performance management solutions, today announced they are working together with Kimberly-Clark Global Licensing on building out selected Enterprise Business Methods Applications (EBMA) for use by other organizations in the commercial, government and academia marketplace. EBMAs include various forms of Intellectual Assets (IA) such as know-how, trademarks, patents, copyrights, etc. which form the basis for these solutions.

The first application available for resale will be Educational Management System (EMS™). EMS is an online, role-based training and compliance access management application that allows users to manage the security of their enterprise resource planning (ERP) system on an enterprise basis while maximizing control and minimizing administrative overhead. In developing EMS, leading practices have been identified for minimizing security issues both during ERP go-live and in the long term. Other companies hoping to realize the same benefits as demonstrated by Kimberly-Clark will soon be able to gain access to these applications.

Kimberly-Clark developed and launched the application in support of SAP® applications with the initial roll-out in the North American Operations. Upon roll-out of this application, Kimberly-Clark was able to trim nearly 10,000 man-hours with automated processes. Where it used to take 7 to 14 days for users to receive SAP security access, it now takes about 24 hours. As well, North America achieved fewer security issues during initial go-live of their ERP system than any other region around the globe.

Data Management Group is rebuilding EMS with input from key users and administrators of the current system. By building off of the success of the current application and incorporating new features and capabilities desired by users and administrators, Data Management Group plans to launch the commercial version of EMS in July of 2008. Currently, Data Management Group is taking applications for the EMS Early Adopter Program which will allow several organizations to participate in prelaunch activities and utilization of EMS at a discounted rate.

“Data Management Group has demonstrated their ability to partner with best in class industry leaders,” says Corrine Sukiennik, Kimberly-Clark’s Director of Global Licensing. “Their capabilities will allow companies to be serviced by an experienced integrator. We look forward to working with them in extending this important infrastructure solution, ensuring successful deployment – including software implementation, training, maintenance and ongoing upgrades. We are pleased to work with Data Management Group in the deployment of EMS, a system that has demonstrated great value to our Global Enterprise management of personnel training.”

EMS is an application that not only ensures that resources are properly trained before gaining access to corporate systems and sensitive information, but more importantly redefines how organizations approach automating the processes behind becoming a compliant enterprise.

Hampton, VA - October 8, 2007 - Monday, the world's largest inter-enterprise software company, SAP®, has announced its plans to acquire the leader in business intelligence software, Business Objects.

As an organization, you will soon have even more options from the leaders in their respective fields. Word on the street is that Business Objects will remain a "stand-alone" entity in the SAP Group of companies. This will allow Business Objects to continue to deliver business intelligence solutions on top of any platform as well as extend their already strong enterprise performance management focus with SAP's corporate performance management expertise.

Not only will this benefit Business Objects' customers, but SAP customers will reap the benefits of incorporating years of business intelligence expertise into their business process application. Added reporting and analytic capabilities will allow SAP users to gain insight into their data faster and with more confidence than ever before.

"I wasn't really surprised when I heard the news," says Keith Boyer, COO/CMO of Data Management Group. "When Oracle bought Hyperion, we were all guessing that it was either going to be Cognos or Business Objects that went next. Because we have a focus on SAP reporting and have worked with Business Objects software to help develop solutions for faster, more accurate reporting out of SAP, I felt it made a lot of sense for SAP to acquire Business Objects. There is a huge opportunity for SAP and Business Objects to bring high-quality data management solutions to the business user. I'm glad that we have expertise in both SAP and Business Objects and are excited about this new opportunity."

As the market gets smaller and companies like SAP and Oracle not only dip their toes, but dive head first into the business intelligence marketplace, consumers will most likely be the big winners. As acquisitions occur and the best in business intelligence are scooped up by the big players in business process applications, we come closer to seeing a fully integrated information management platform. This will enable you to strengthen decision processes, increase customer value and create sustainable competitive advantage through real-time, operational business intelligence.
