Leading UK Systems Integrator Embraces Ultimus Adaptive BPM Suite

Cary, US and London, UK ‐ March 01, 2009 – Ultimus Inc, a leader in enterprise‐level Adaptive BPM software, today announced that one of the leading UK Systems Integrators, PFI Knowledge Solutions Ltd (PFIKS), which specializes in the development, integration and implementation of next‐generation information systems, has selected Ultimus as a partner for pan‐enterprise Adaptive BPM solutions.

PFIKS will become an Ultimus partner in UK for Information Governance and Compliance solutions. The Ultimus adaptive, “smart" software modules enable a company to model, automate, optimize, and manage core business practices with enhanced usability for the enterprise.

Information Governance and Compliance is a major growth area for us. Compliance has quickly become a very complex undertaking: companies are investing heavily to become compliant with local legislation, and these legislative rules continue to become more and more complex. This complexity and cost will continue to increase with new rules, extended regulations, and greater scrutiny by governing bodies. Compliance is being understood as a process that evolves over time and has become an enterprise‐wide issue involving many functional areas and systems. As a process, compliance must adapt to new rules or changes in regulations across the enterprise.

Companies are looking to automation technologies such as BPM to reduce costs and build more efficient, sustainable compliance solutions. However, not every automation solution can provide appropriate efficiencies and “future proof” the heavy compliance investment for long term value and flexibility. How you automate is critical.

Paul Thompson, CEO of PFIKS said "Ultimus provides an extendable process backbone that automates your most pressing issues today, but also enables you to build more processes within an overall compliance framework. It’s the market leader and that is why we have chosen to partner with them."
By engaging with Ultimus, PFIKS gains access to the award‐winning Ultimus Adaptive BPM Suite which provides a business process backbone with extensive and adaptive capabilities that set Ultimus partners apart from their competition.

"We are very pleased to have secured this partnership with PFIKS. They are a highly skilled team of people with a strong track record and a great set of customers who will benefit from our technology." said Sam Bateman, Director, International Business Development.
