Savvion Announces the Way to Find Your Perfect Business Process Management Match; Webcast to Highlight How to Make BPM Evaluations Go Smoothly

Business Wire, June 8, 2006

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- When it comes to purchasing a business process management solution, buyers are unsure how to find a perfect match. That is why Savvion(R), the industry's leading business process management (BPM) company, today announced that it will host a webcast featuring leading independent BPM industry analyst Bruce Silver on how to evaluate BPM software and match it to your organization's specific requirements. The webcast, entitled "Evaluating a Business Process Management Vendor: What to Know, What to Ask" will be broadcast on Tuesday, June 13 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.

Business process management (BPM) suites are integrated software platforms that provide a complete cycle of business process improvement, including modeling and simulation, process automation and workflow, application integration, business rules, and performance management. BPM suites provide benefits such as increased efficiency and cost reduction, compliance with policies and best practices, agility, and end-to-end visibility of process performance metrics. The webcast will uncover the secrets that Fortune 100 customers use to ensure their needs are met, and how to select for success.

Bruce Silver, an independent BPM industry analyst (www.brsilver.com/wordpress), and Rob Risany, director of product marketing for Savvion, are the featured speakers. Attendees will learn from both the analyst and vendor perspective what makes BPM evaluations go smoothly, and the types of questions that should be asked to find the perfect match for your own organization.

"There are many business process management suites available, all generally aimed at process improvement," said Silver. "However, the similarities often end there. It is important to understand which ones have been optimized for the specific processes your organization cares about, and which ones are right for your current BPM design and maintenance skill sets. We plan to answer these questions, and many others, and suggest best practices for selecting a BPM solution."

"The BPM market is seeing a tremendous growth rate as more and more companies realize that they need to better manage their business process and the ways in which they operate," said Rob Risany, director of product marketing for Savvion. "If an organization chooses the right BPM vendor for its needs, then they achieve greater agility, an ability to respond to changing conditions, and ultimately a competitive advantage that can impact the bottom line in a very short period of time. As a BPM vendor, we certainly hope that buyers choose Savvion, but regardless, we feel a responsibility to make sure everyone who is shopping for a solution ask the right questions and get the answers they need so they 'buy right' the first time."
