Dyadem CEO Named a “Pro to Know” for Third Consecutive Year

Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine Honors Kevin North for Commitment to Operational and Quality Risk Management

TORONTO – February 24, 2010 – Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine, the executive's user manual for successful supply and demand chain transformation, has named Dyadem President and CEO Kevin North as one of the industry’s “Pros to Know” in 2010.  For the third consecutive year, Mr. North has been recognized as a “Pro to Know” for his devotion to Operational and Quality Risk Management.

This year, Supply & Demand Chain Executive is recognizing three individual lists of Pros to Know: Practitioner Pros to Know, Practitioner Pros to Know Teams, and Provider Pros to Know.  The Provider Pros to Know is a listing of exceptional corporate executives at a software and/or hardware firm or service
provider offering solutions or services for companies enabling their supply chains.

"This year's Provider Pros to Know have shown themselves to be thought-leaders in the Supply Chain industry," said Andrew K. Reese, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive.  "Highlighting the learnings that the Provider Pros to Know have taken out of the Great Recession provides our readers with a wealth of best practices that they can apply in their own supply chains, as well as insights into how leading organizations are positioning themselves for competitive advantage in the Great Recovery ahead."

“The recession was a warning to software vendors to make themselves meaningful in measurable, immediate and practical ways.  Effective risk management will continue to differentiate the leaders from the laggards and Dyadem is poised to help all of our customers integrate better quality into the supply and demand chain and improve their Operational and Quality Risk Management efforts,” said Mr. North.  “It is an honor to be recognized for the third year in a row, proving that Dyadem software continues to meet a unique need and be a favored solution in many industries.”

With Dyadem’s solutions, its customers were able to automate critical quality and risk management processes and gain visibility into the risks introduced by rapid changes in a company’s production, staffing and supply chain.  This was critical for companies in a weakened economic state where a significant quality issue such as a massive recall could spell the end for them.  For many companies, cost-of-quality was a clear area where cost reductions were a net benefit, by eliminating waste and “non-value-add” issue management.

The full listing of the 2010 Pros to Know is available in the February/March 2010 issue of Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine and at www.SDCExec.com/2010Prostoknow.
