TORONTO, Nov. 21 -- Today, Osellus, a leading software process automation solution provider, announced the availability of IRIS Process Author v3.5. This new offering enables software development teams to significantly improve the rate of adoption of their processes improvement initiatives.

"Process adoption remains as a major challenge for most software development organizations. Despite continuing investment in methodologies, tools and training by management, team members often view process as a superfluous factor that they have to accept but one that they have little influence on," said Payman Hodaie, CTO of Osellus. "IRIS v3.5 addresses this challenge by allowing practitioners to become active participants in a live process community."

IRIS v3.5 streamlines the interactions between process authors and practitioners through the means of wikis, blogs, online forums and other Web 2.0 technologies. Web 2.0 social media, such as these, that allow two-way user controlled participation amongst stakeholders is gaining widespread acceptance in business. IRIS v3.5 utilizes these technologies to facilitate better asynchronous process access, dissemination, feedback, tailoring and refinement. The resulting improved practitioner participation in process authoring and enactment has a direct and positive impact on process acceptance.
