Customers and partners gathered at 11th annual conference to engage in case study and best practice discussions

Austin, TX — November 12, 2008 — Planview®, the leading independent provider of enterprise-wide portfolio management solutions, recently concluded its 11th annual Planview Horizons User Conference, a three-day event in Austin, Texas, which gathered hundreds of Planview users and honored three customers with leadership awards. Representatives from leading companies in the financial services, healthcare, and manufacturing industries presented directly to the Planview community, offering unparalleled insight into best practices and techniques to leverage Planview Enterprise and the portfolio management processes in making more informed business decisions.

The Horizons conference provided a venue for the Planview community to strategize and arm itself to proactively face challenges and exceed business expectations.

During the conference, Planview also announced the winners of the third annual Planview Leadership Awards selected in three categories: for Vision, Qwest; for Innovation, Resurgent Capital Services; and for Achievement, Baylor Health Care System. These winners were recognized for their accomplishments in leveraging the discipline of portfolio management, using Planview Enterprise, to drive organizational performance and innovation.
