Enhancements Include Robust Migration Capabilities
CARY, NC (August 05, 2008) — Ultimus, Inc., developer of one of the most widely-deployed business process management software suites in the world, today announced the availability of the latest installment of its Adaptive BPM Suite. Ultimus Adaptive BPM Suite 8.1 introduces a powerful new migration tool which enables current users to easily upgrade business processes to the latest platform. Additional enhancements are based directly on customer feedback and Ultimus’ continued visionary leadership in the BPM space.
This update follows on the heels of a major release last year in which Ultimus provided tighter integration with Microsoft SharePoint, collaborative clients, SOA-based architecture, and easier access to business data via a new XML data model.
“Migration is often a daunting prospect to any IT or Applications administrator – it typically requires significant preparation followed by an extended data transition with a light-switch mentality,” said Chris Adams, Vice President of Product Marketing and Management. “However, the migration tools which are an integral part of Ultimus Adaptive BPM Suite 8.1 permit migrations to execute while the existing BPM Servers continue to process live tasks. Moreover, Ultimus migrations can be executed process by process. This type of gradual and methodical migration allows for the necessary testing, training, confirmation, and rollout that is part of every successful enterprise level migration.”
“BPM is quickly emerging as the key focus for the convergence of business processes with the business user. This agenda can only be realized by simple, pervasive and easy-to-use tools for process experts,” said Vuk Trifković, senior analyst, Datamonitor. “The Ultimus Adaptive BPM suite is one example of such a solution catering to business-driven scenarios that call for a high-level of human interaction by providing intuitive process modelling tools, inventive presentation devices and a pragmatic approach to process information dissemination.”
In addition to migration capabilities, major new benefits of Ultimus Adaptive BPM Suite 8.1 include expanded support of Microsoft Vista, greater visibility of business data through enhanced reporting (including new 3D graphics), and support for Microsoft virtual technologies. Ultimus also provides new advanced web form development features as well as a number of performance enhancements to many features and functions.
“We designed this release to further strengthen our strategy of enabling the design, optimization, and maturation of people-centric business processes,” said Adams. “Our goal is to provide the features and capabilities required to enable business process champions to build functional processes, then optimize and mature those processes after they go live.”
