Intelex celebrated Ted Grunau Day last week to commemorate its founder and former CEO. Each year, on Ted's birthday, Intelex employees are recognized by their peers for exhibiting qualities and strengths that Ted held in high regard. On February 18th, employees enjoyed a relaxing afternoon in the office, beginning first with a catered lunch and ending with an awards ceremony. From start to finish, Ted Grunau Day was everything it was meant to be - "A day where we can both remember Ted and celebrate the accomplishments of Intelex employees," commented President and CEO Mark Jaine.

Mark, who also hosted the event, added seven awards to last year's 11, bringing the total number of awards to 18, including four Unsung Hero of the Year awards presented to stand-out employees who were nominated in numerous categories. Being highly involved in coordinating the awards, Mark made sure all employees voted, and made sure everything was fair and fun. The comments submitted by voters were read aloud prior to announcing each winner and that was a great reminder of the top-notch qualities, work ethic, and integrity of the Intelex team.

The highlight of the ceremony came at the end when, although Mark had thought he knew all of the winners for Ted Grunau Day, there was one more award to be given out. Just moments after what he thought was the final award was accepted, Mark was presented with his very own CEO of the Year award. He was completely surprised and felt truly honoured for the salute.

Congratulations to all award winners and nominees on being recognized by your peers!

Intelex webinar "Tracking Your Way to Optimal Supplier Performance" sparked so much interest that we're going to offer it again on Wednesday, March 10th, 2010! Bevin Lyon, Intelex Executive Account Manager who has helped dozens of organizations implement supplier management software, will return as your host and subject matter expert to deliver valuable information and answer all of your questions related to supplier performance tracking.

A variety of supplier management concerns were discussed and Bevin also talked about what he believes a company's method of supplier performance evaluation should include: cost, delivery, service, quality, compliance, financial, safety, and information protection, all of which he addressed in further detail.

For instance, when evaluating a supplier's service performance, an organization should ask the following questions: has the supplier resolved discrepancies quickly? Has the supplier failed to respond to inquiries and requests? Does the supplier direct an appropriate level of technology towards customer service and process improvements? 

And in terms of quality performance, has the supplier provided products and services that consistently meet or exceed specifications, standards, and expectations? Does the supplier offer competitive warranties? Does the supplier comply with certification requirements?

To learn more and have your questions answered, register now for Intelex's encore presentation of "Tracking Your Way to Optimal Supplier Performance" on Wednesday, March 10th, 2010.
