Microsoft Names Bluespring Software a Finalist for "Technology Innovation Partner of the Year"

Market Wire, June, 2006

Bluespring Software, the Business Process Management (BPM) software company that puts the power of business process design, execution AND management into the hands of business people, announces that it has been named a finalist by Microsoft for "Technology Innovation Partner of the Year" in the ISV/Software Solutions category.

The awards recognize Microsoft Registered, Certified and Gold Certified partners that developed exemplary solutions for their customers during the past year. Bluespring's BPM Suite helps companies streamline their business processes by getting a better handle on the people-intensive parts of business processes. The company's technology innovation centers around ease-of-use:

--  For the business leader, it's the ability to go after "low hanging
    fruit" and knock out process-related pain points in less than 90 days with
    compelling ROIs.
--  For IT, it's the fact that there is no coding involved when deploying
    the product, it plays nice with existing infrastructure and business people
    can manage the product themselves.
--  For the people who interact with the process (users), it's the ability
    to participate using email, Excel, Word and Internet Explorer meaning they
    have nothing new to install and no new technology to learn.
    

"Bluespring's innovation is simplifying powerful technology traditionally thought to be too complex for business people," said Pradeep Rathinam, General Manager of U.S. ISV Strategy for Microsoft Corporation. "That's a pretty compelling corner office story for any enterprise."

The winners will be honored at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2006, July 11-14, 2006, in Boston.
