Ultimus Expands BPM Leadership Among Large Enterprise Customers Worldwide
|
100 global companies with more than a billion dollars in revenue have deployed the Ultimus BPM Suite, further validating the need for human-centric BPM |
CARY, N.C. — August 14, 2006 — Ultimus, the #1 provider of Business Process Management (BPM) and workflow software and solutions, with more than 1,600 customers worldwide, today announced that Ultimus has been experiencing continued growth for enterprise-wide deployments among large customers. Ultimus has more than 12 years experience in BPM and is recognized for its strength in human-centric capabilities that return ownership of processes to business professionals.
The company has deployed its award-winning Ultimus BPM Suite into organizations across the globe and has now achieved a significant milestone among large enterprises with over $1 billion in revenue. Specifically, driven by the need for large enterprises to embrace the human elements of BPM, 100 worldwide, billion dollar organizations, across all major vertical industries have adopted the Ultimus BPM Suite including: Lowes Foods, National Gypsum, the American Red Cross, SIEMENS, Microsoft, Miller Brewing Company, Pulte Homes, Black and Decker, Grupo Financiero Uno, Citizens Bank and Dell.
According to Gartner, “Stovepiped, project-centric business process automation has dominated enterprise applications. However, pressure for business process flexibility and agility, coupled with a desire for new cross-application, enterprise-spanning process perspectives, is breaching the boundaries. This is recognized in application integration, the externalization of business process definitions through business process management (BPM) technology, and application composition via service-oriented architecture (SOA). Less apparent, but maybe even more significant, is a fundamental re-examination of the way that the individual interacts with the corporate view of process. It is no longer a process of, or for, the business — it becomes a “Process of Me." The model of application-driven, dialogue-oriented transactions gives way to a perspective with the users at the center, participating in multiple processes through diverse interaction models.”
Andreas Iversen, EMEA General Procurement Manager of Dell Germany, said, “We selected the Ultimus BPM Suite because it offers our company a flexible solution to meet our process automation needs. It is one of the most scalable products on the market and it seamlessly integrates with our other technologies.”
The Ultimus BPM Suite delivers strong ROI through a programming-free process modeling and development environment, flexible integration, workflow capabilities, powerful management tools and easy to use Web interfaces for process participants. The software allows processes to be adapted in real-time by process experts to address changing business conditions quickly and easily.
Ultimus has a rich history in human-centric BPM and is a recognized leader. The Ultimus BPM Suite has a tradition of innovation:
- The first technology to offer humanistic elements such as an organization chart for roles and relationships
- The first to offer Flobots™, or workflow robots, to further specialize processes
- The first to offer Web-based workflow, improving overall ease-of-use
- The first to integrate BPM modeling for business analysts
- The first to offer collaborative design
- The first to market with its patented Adaptive Discovery™ technology
“There are two key elements enabling Ultimus to have such great successes with large enterprise deployments,” said Rashid Khan, CEO and co-founder of Ultimus, Inc. “First, we offer the natural, intuitive human-centric workflow capabilities that many organizations are now realizing they need to be successful. People define and implement the processes, and the technology has to be able to aid the people or it will not be a success. Secondly, the Ultimus BPM Suite is a robust, scalable platform that readily let’s enterprises work beyond the department. As one group sees the benefit of the technology, another can adopt the technology for their own needs; making the Ultimus BPM Suite a true enterprise-wide solution.”
