London, United Kingdom — February 6, 2006 — Ultimus, the leading provider of Business Process Management (BPM), Workflow Automation software and services that enable the shortest time to value, today announced that Dialog Services, a member of The Dialog Group, a consulting and management services company for charities and not-for-profit organisations, has implemented the Ultimus BPM Suite to centrally regulate mandate processes initiated by fundraisers in the field.

Dialog Services supports fundraising companies and their passionate and creative staff with high-quality services and solutions to make their work easier. This includes helping them track the success of their respective mandates and providing professional customer care. Ultimus covers many additional processes, including site management, time tracking, starters and leavers, and campaign tracking.

Before implementing the Ultimus BPM Suite, Dialog Services was burdened with high volumes of new mandates on scanned paper that were difficult to manage and validate. Each fundraising company with which they worked had its own way of keying, storing, managing, and tracking the data, making it difficult to maintain data quality in a common data repository. The Ultimus BPM Suite centralised and streamlined key processes to improve intra-group communications and monitoring of service level agreements.

In addition, structured, multimedia campaign-specific processes are driven by Ultimus, providing much needed support through sophisticated integration capabilities via Web Services. With Ultimus providing a transparent, centralised data repository, the company has improved field reporting and client request tracking.

“The Ultimus BPM Suite has proven to be the ideal solution for processing and tracking mandates, facilitating multimedia campaigns, and providing auditing capabilities,” said David Clark, Managing Director of Dialog Services. “The implementation of a service portal through Ultimus allows for fast and efficient service request execution, and centralised control of services by remote fundraisers.”

“Dialog Services and The Dialog Group are strategic partners to many not-for-profit organisations globally,” said Steve Allen, Managing Director of Ultimus UK & Ireland. “We are pleased that the Ultimus BPM Suite has enabled the company to gain higher transparency and control over mandates and further enhance the quality of its impressive fundraising campaigns.”
