Intellilink Solutions Launches Resource Management Practice.

Business Editors

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 22, 2003

Intellilink Solutions, Inc., a provider of consulting services to automate the knowledge worker enterprise, today announced the launch of its Resource Management Practice Area. The practice area focuses on helping internal

and external service organizations improve performance by optimizing the management and development of their most valued assets - human resources. According to Intellilink, resource management can have a greater impact by addressing interests both at and beyond the individual project level, from matching skill sets with project needs to supporting long-term career goals.

"Managing resources is about more than simply putting the right team together for an upcoming project," explained Fumiko Kondo, Managing Director of Intellilink. "Service organizations must build strong relationships with their employees in order to fully understand, evaluate, and develop their resources at every level. This starts with recognizing core competencies and work preferences to assign projects effectively, and extends through understanding personal development needs and goals to improve employee retention."

The Intellilink approach helps clients move beyond planning for single projects. By deploying effective decision making tools and improving business processes, Intellilink enables clients to collect and analyze information in real-time about people and projects across their entire organization. As a result, they can determine what resources are available to staff upcoming projects - and whether the right resources are in place to support the types of projects the organization handles as a whole. They can identify the skills and experience of their employees - as well as how well they work in a team, what kinds of projects they like, and who they work best with. They can understand how to structure the skills and resources they have - and how to share them across the organization.

Intellilink also works with service organizations to improve the long-term professional development of their employees. By identifying and tracking the career goals and work preferences of human resources, service organizations can strike a balance between project needs and employee needs - ensuring organizational success and employee satisfaction.
