4th March 2008, Monetical Limited, Cambridge, is the provider of a management consultancy service enabling self evaluation and performance optimisation of software engineering, deployment and support activities. Monetical announces its commitment to developing the next generation of performance analysis tools for organisations. The rapid analysis of historical data combined with preconfigured intellect to automatically generate best-fit scenarios (patent-pending) supports an organisation to reach and maintain an optimum level of performance in a rapid and cost effective way.

"Due to increased outsourcing and the forming of strategic partnerships, software and IT organisations are finding it more challenging to retain an optimum level of performance," said John E. Abram, Founder of Monetical. "With our innovative solution, Monetical is charting a new course for the cost effective way in which such organisations evaluate and optimise their performance. No longer is there a need to call upon external consultants to gain access to the appropriate intellect and required analytical capabilities. Monetical helps them clearly understand what changes are needed to improve their performance."

Dr. Robert Hughes lecture at Brighton University and leading published author on operational management, said, “The analytical tool developed by Monetical to assess the operational management of development projects provides a cost-effective and immediately useful way for organisations to check the health of their operational processes and to identify areas of where the most valuable process improvements can be made."
