CORPORATE MISSION

"With today's organizations becoming e-global and operating at the "speed of thought", enterprises in the 21st century encounter enormous pressures to adapt to new market conditions and face significant challenges in meeting their business objectives. One of the most important focus areas for enterprises in the post Y2K era is the establishment of effective organizational infrastructure and implementation of Business Process Management."

CORPORATE HISTORY & FUTURE

Headquartered in Montreal, Canada, Interfacing Technologies Corporation (ITC) is a leading Canadian software and services company that is well known for its FirstSTEP business process mapping, modeling, simulation and management software. Working with world-class organizations over the last decade, ITC has brought business-user oriented process management solutions, state-of-the-art tools and technologies to a wide variety of enterprises and management consulting firms throughout the world.

In the mid-1980s, ITC acquired, developed and implemented MRP/ERP software solutions for small and medium-size aerospace and manufacturing companies. While developing extensive custom solutions in various administrative, financial and shopfloor manufacturing IT applications, including fully automated EDI applications and data collection facilities, ITC gained wide experience and know-how in improving the efficiency of enterprise processes within the rigors and tolerances of a manufacturing environment.

In 1990, ITC became a founding member of SIMCON, a consortium of Canadian companies sponsored by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). The consortium was formed to develop new and advanced software technologies for integrated manufacturing. Other consortium members included Northern Telecom, EDS Canada and Paramax Unisys. Prototypes were developed for creating and modeling enterprises in a computerized virtual reality, which could then be simulated to address different improvement ideas. This joint effort laid the foundation for the creation of ITC's flagship product FirstSTEP, the suite of management tools that is now used by leading enterprises around the globe.

Since late 1994, ITC has focused on business process modeling, simulation and management technology solutions, creating a suite of software products and  dedicated consulting and training services designed to meet a wide spectrum of business process management needs. Currently, ITC is concentrating on extending its proven technology into the e-world through development of web-centered enterprise solutions.

Meir Levi, the CEO of ITC, explains the need for the EPC:
"Now more than ever, businesses that wish to survive must improve their efficiency, decrease their operating costs and focus on maximizing the value delivered to their clients. We have developed a Process based Framework and tools that allow business managers to take ownership of their processes, collaborate with other process owners and capture the knowledge critical to the overall performance of the organization. The EPC positions enterprises to easily adapt and take advantage of market opportunities with processes that are well designed, well managed and flexible to changes. These enterprises will thrive - even in these uncertain times."
