Original Press Release:


Proforma Expands ProServer with Model Warehouse and WebVision Products


SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Jan. 17 -- Proforma Corp., the established leader in business process improvement, simulation and enterprise architecture, announced it has expanded ProServer, the market's only web server-centric enterprise modeling solution, to include a powerful model warehouse and a web-based model collaboration tool. These features further strengthen the ProVision modeling suite and enable organizations to deliver optimal results by documenting strategy, processes and systems, and analyzing the impact of change.

The new ProServer Model Warehouse feature is an advanced tool for reporting and logging intellectual capital. ProServer, which was launched in 2004, is a web-based server application that allows business and systems analysts to manage, update and communicate models across a wide-area network, enabling globally-distributed teams to work together under a common, model- based view of their enterprise.

Organizations can now publish ProServer repository contents to a Model Warehouse relational database, which is in turn available to anyone in the organization to perform query reporting and analysis of their strategy, processes and systems -- all over the internet. This can be accomplished using any reporting tool that can connect to a relational database, such as Crystal Reports or MS Access.

"Our customers are looking for enterprise level solutions that offer a broad scope of content delivered by web-based servers," said Jerry Huchzermeier, Proforma's chief technical officer. "Proforma will continue to develop the most scalable solutions on the market."

WebVision Delivers On-Demand Automated Web Publisher

Proforma also announced the availability of WebVision for ProServer -- the server-based collaboration tool for thin clients.

WebVision delivers models and definitions in response to any internet user with a standard browser, thus delivering intellectual capital to desktops across the organization. It utilizes the power of ProServer to go beyond basic HTML publishing offered by other vendors by providing a "pull" technology that delivers dynamic on-demand access to view and annotate models.

Both the ProServer Model Warehouse and WebVision are part of ProVision 4.4.3, which became available today.
