DALLAS – NOVEMBER 1, 2010 – Global 360, a leading provider of process and case management solutions, announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc., a leading technology industry analyst firm, in the Leaders Quadrant of the recently released Magic Quadrant for Business Process Management Suites(1). Global 360 was identified among the leaders in an evaluation of 25 vendors included in the report.
“We believe our position in the Leaders Quadrant is a credit to the success our customers have achieved with our persona-based BPM solutions for Microsoft technologies,” noted David Mitchell, President and Chief Executive Officer, Global 360. “We introduced persona-based BPM to address the tough challenges of process and the real issues that live in the heart of processes where the real work gets done. We are committed to providing our customers with the innovative tools they need to grow their businesses and gain competitive advantage, and believe being recognized as a leader in the BPMS market demonstrates our abilities to do that.”
Global 360's corporate strategy and product road map that emphasizes persona-based BPM uniquely empowers all of the people in a process to be more productive, thereby maximizing business performance. Persona-based BPM takes process management to the next level by expanding the focus from simply automating work to taking a people-centric approach and truly improving the way work gets done.
Recognized by Microsoft® as a 2010 Partner of the Year, Global 360's process and case management solutions leverage Microsoft® SharePoint®, Visio®, BizTalk Server®, SQL Server® and Office® to move beyond content management and simple workflow. Users can build and manage robust, enterprise class processes while still taking advantage of Microsoft solution strengths in content management, collaboration, process modeling, and user interface.
According to Gartner, Inc., “Even during the 2009 economic crisis, BPM initiatives (and BPMS products) continued to receive funding. Gartner estimates that the size of the BPMS market in 2009 totaled $1.9 billion in revenue, compared with $1.6 billion in 2008 — an increase of 15%.”(1).
Gartner's Magic Quadrant notes that, "A trend we first observed in 2008 has continued into 2010: more organizations are adopting BPM as a discipline and scaling up their efforts to establish BPM as an enterprise program -- not just apply its methods and technologies to one-off projects. Thus, a market-leading BPMS must support BPM throughout the business process improvement life cycle."(1)
