Prophix develops CPM software that automates important financial and operational processes, making companies more profitable and reducing their risks. The company empowers more than 2,500 customers in 92 countries to gain valuable insight into their companies' performance. Tindal said, "Aptech's extensive sector experience, leadership, and suite of total-hospitality solutions, makes it a high-performing partner and ideal recipient for our award. Because Prophix is the leader in CPM, and Aptech is the leader in Business Intelligence and accounting for the hospitality sector our relationship benefits each company's clients." Aptech Vice President Jill Wilder, said, "All of us at Aptech want to thank Prophix for this award. We met with Prophix several years ago when we evaluated its CPM solution and thought it would be a good fit for enterprise hospitality budgeting and planning.
