Bloor Research Honors Ultimus with a Gold Award for Business Process Management
Report Lauds Ultimus as “the Un-sung Hero of the BPM Market” for Delivering Simplicity and Flexibility in Both Implementation and Operation
Ultimus, Cary, N.C. — July 12, 2007— Ultimus, the #1 provider of Business Process Management (BPM) and workflow software and solutions, with more than 1,600 customers worldwide, today announced that Bloor Research, one of the world’s leading IT research, analysis and consultancy organizations, has honored the Ultimus BPM Suite with a Gold Award in its recent “Business Process Management” report. This selection follows an extensive and comprehensive review of current BPM offerings and lauds Ultimus as perhaps “the un-sung hero of the BPM market”.
Bloor Research's BPM Report evaluates vendors in five key product areas: Stability and Risk, Architecture, Fit for Purpose, Ease of Use and Support. In order to be included in the report, vendors were required to meet a minimum level of proven capability based on actual company and product performance in all five categories. Ultimus scored particularly high in the areas of Stability, Ease of Use and Support, and the report highlights Ultimus’ market leadership in the support of the adaptive and subjective needs of processes where people are the primary participants of the process.
“One of the early entrants into the BPM market, Ultimus has had a vision that the company has followed relentlessly,” said Terry Schurter, CIO of Bloor Research’s BPM Group and author of the report. “Ultimus does not follow market fads or hot buzzwords. Instead, the company gets close to (and stays close to) users in the field as they design product and develop the associated training and methodologies that deliver customer success.”
“Receiving the Gold Award from Bloor Research reinforces our leadership position in adaptive BPM, with strong human-centric collaboration and a geographical footprint that far exceeds any other BPM vendor,” said Rick Thompson, Chief Marketing Officer for Ultimus. “This is a testament to the high level of expertise, product innovation and real-world results that Ultimus brings to its customers worldwide.”
Powered by Adaptive Discovery®, the Ultimus BPM Suite is the only business process management suite with “self-discovering processes” that enable organizations to deploy and refine business processes with less time and effort. Ultimus recently announced the availability of the Ultimus Adaptive BPM Suite™, version 8. Based on customer feedback from thousands of real-world BPM deployments worldwide, this 8th generation product offers unprecedented agility by supporting people, the ecosystems they work in, and the change that is common to both.
