Starting next month he be partnering with our Product Team in the development of our new ISO-related functionality and reporting module which will be available shortly to all PRESTO users.
Under this new collaboration, PRESTO, originally created by a group of Italian financial professionals who were looking to apply 'Lean Six Sigma/ Kaizen' principles to business transformation initiatives within a large multinational bank, will begin to widen its market share by developing operational excellence functionality aimed at servicing the manufacturing, production, and health care sectors. Benfenati, a specialist in manufacturing has already begun conducting a series of workshops with Newconsulting clients to explore additional product development initiatives that will give PRESTO's interface increased flexibility in business management.

This collaboration as well as the decision to invest in product expansion is the result of an extensive market research exercise which indicated a strong need in the Italian market for operational excellence-related solutions. Actively leading in the formalization of the arrangement was our CEO Andrew Lenti together with Product Specialist Vanni Fiorentini and supported by our Risk & Legal advisor Alessandro Ferrari, and TOPP TI Chief Administrator Martin Higgs.
