As economies around the world become more integrated,
understanding the optimal way to operate globally has become a
driving force. How companies are addressing the opportunities and
challenges of today's global economy was the focus of The Hackett
Group's 2013 North American Best Practices Conference, "Borderless
Business: Integrating the Enterprise for Sustainable Success," held
in Miami May 20-22, 2013.
The Hackett Group (NASDAQ:HCKT), a global strategic business
advisory and operations improvement consulting firm, is a leader in

consulting services including strategy and operations, working
capital management, and globalization advice.

CFOs, CIOs, and leaders in procurement, human resources, and global
business services from: Becton, Dickinson and Company; Citigroup;
Coca Cola Refreshments USA; Cytec Industries; FedEx; Fidelity
Investments; General Electric; General Mills; Hertz;

HP; Invest Lithuania; Kronos; Open Scan; SAP; and Zycus.
The invitation-only event, which was attended by over 200
senior-level executives from the world’s most respected brands,
also featured The Hackett Group latest insights on the strategies
and tactics being deployed by the highest performing global
companies.
At the conference, The Hackett Group also offered an update and
live demonstration of The Hackett Group's Performance Exchange™, a
new automated measurement dashboard designed to accelerate
companies’ journeys to world-class performance. The Hackett Group
Performance Exchange is a breakthrough performance intelligence
solution that automatically extracts data from ERP systems and
benchmarks results to produce actionable insights - faster and at a
fraction of the cost and effort involved in any benchmarking
alternative or building a custom solution.
"Today's business world is all about transcending borders, and
the accelerating flow of ideas, resources, capital, and goods,"
explained The Hackett Group Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Ted Fernandez."The increasingly competitive global marketplace has
reduced the interval between seeing an opportunity – or threat –
and making the operational changes necessary to respond to it
effectively. As a result, information and operational expectations
have necessitated one global view of your customers, your supply
chain, your operations, your financials and your talent.
"At The Hackett Group's 2013 North American Best Practices
Conference, we offered an opportunity to learn how the world's most
successful companies are adapting to the opportunities and
challenges of operating globally," said Mr. Fernandez.
