Companies form a strategic relationship delivering added value - Tightly-Integrated Solutions provide significant Value-Add to Organisations Looking to Optimise Processes
28 February 2007 - Global 360, a leading provider of business process management (BPM), and optimisation solutions, today announced the company has joined the Microsoft Business Process Alliance, a group of industry-leading ISV partners focused on creating innovative, customer-driven BPM solutions on the Microsoft platform.
The company has also announced today that it has renewed its commitment to providing customers with tightly integrated BPM and process intelligence solutions through the utilisation of Microsoft's .NET environment and industry-leading Microsoft applications which include extended support for Office 2007 targeted for May 2007.
As a result of the Business Process Alliance, the Global 360-BizTalk Server integration will allow customers to take advantage of enhanced capabilities such as: End to end process integration across both the Global360 Enterprise Suite and BizTalk Server; Integration with BizTalk Business Activity Monitoring Services (BAM); Integration with the BizTalk Business Rules Engine (BRE) and integration with BizTalk's Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) platform.
Global 360's award-winning solutions enable organisations to leverage the latest Microsoft applications such as SharePoint, InfoPath, Office, SQL Server and BizTalk to extend BPM throughout the enterprise and deliver access to information repositories across disparate systems.
Global 360 also announced its strategic intent today to align future product development with the .NET Framework 3.0 and Microsoft®
Windows® Workflow Foundation, a development platform for the rapid creation of workflow-enabled applications. Global 360 views Windows Workflow Foundation as an important foundational part of Microsoft's process platform and is exploring plans to deliver an even deeper, architectural-level integration of their technologies and Windows Workflow Foundation in a coming major release.
According to Forrester, "Global 360 is one of the first human-centric BPMS vendors to sell its suite a la carte. Besides being .NET based, the product's strengths include performance management, text analytics, and document and message manipulation within the process model." The report continues, "For customers that want a Microsoft-based pure-play option with excellent viability, Global 360 deserves a look. The product is an especially good fit for buyers that want a document-intensive BPMS from a vendor that isn't focused exclusively on content, seek a product with a strong focus on process performance and goal management, and want a la carte pricing or separate BPMS components."
"Microsoft's partners are building incredible solutions on these new technologies," said Allison Watson, corporate vice president, Worldwide Partner Group, Microsoft. "Our partners are the critical link to delivering customer value and solving complex industry, research and core business challenges. By working closely with partners like Global 360, we are transforming the way people work and delivering on the promise of People Ready software."
"By leveraging Microsoft's industry-leading applications, Global 360 delivers the most advanced BPM and process intelligence solutions on the market," said Michael Crosno, president and CEO of Global 360. "As the leading provider of .NET-based BPM solutions, Global 360 enables organisations to proactively manage, optimise and adapt to changing business conditions in real-time, providing them with the opportunity to better align operations with critical business objectives. Global 360 is committed to providing robust BPM and process intelligence solutions to the market, and we look forward to continued success as a valued Microsoft partner."
