Smarter Solutions, Inc.

Smarter Solutions, Inc. is an internationally recognized organization, which provides coaching, training, and software in enhanced predictive performance metrics reporting and improvements so that the enterprise as a whole benefits.

Smarter Solutions has grown to be a worldwide company providing an enhanced Business Management and Improvement System through its software, consulting, and training.

In 1992, Smarter Solutions® was founded by Forrest W. Breyfogle III in Austin, Texas, after a 24-year career with IBM. From the start, Smarter Solutions strived, through its training and consulting, to become a thought leader in helping organizations efficiently and effectively implement organizational business measurements and process improvement efforts.

In 1997, the company focus transitioned to Six Sigma training and coaching and later then Lean Six Sigma deployments and methodologies. Smarter Solutions’ training courses have revolved around its published books, which often have become a body of knowledge for a discipline, e.g., ASQ Lean Six Sigma Certification’s use of Smarter Solutions’ book Implementing Six Sigma.

However, Smarter Solutions noted that organizations often did not benefit from Lean Six Sigma deployments. Smarter Solutions believed one of the shortcomings of traditional Lean Six Sigma deployments was that there was no direct link between these improvement efforts and its business management system, including its scorecards. Because of this observation, Smarter Solutions developed Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE), an enhanced business management and improvement system. In 2008-2010 Smarter Solutions shared its approach with others by publishing a 5-book set on the IEE methodology.

Smarter Solutions next created IEE Enterprise Performance Reporting System (EPRS) software, which has evolved to become a standalone IEE-implementation product that can offer predictive scorecards (among other things) behind an organization’s firewall.
