TAMPA, Fla., Aug 30, 2005 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- CommerceQuest Inc. today announced the extension of its Universal Process Engine to include support for business process analysis (BPA) tools from Telelogic, a leading provider of solutions for business process automation and modeling. As part of CommerceQuest's Business Process Management Suite (BPM Suite), the Universal Process Engine is the world's most flexible, standards-based process engine, designed to help organizations achieve end-to-end business process management.
By combining CommerceQuest's Universal Process Engine with leading analysis and modeling solutions from Telelogic, customers will be able to take existing process models into a rich execution environment, producing even greater process improvements. In many cases, organizations can achieve 45 percent and greater improvements in the efficiencies of their processes with the Universal Process Engine's ability to rapidly move a process from design and analysis through to deployment and execution, and subsequently allowing that process to be continuously managed, monitored and improved in real time. This is particularly significant for public sector clients of both companies.
This new integration will align CommerceQuest's BPM Suite with Telelogic's System Architect, allowing government agencies to enhance architecture descriptions with real-time, detailed resource analysis capabilities. They will be able to identify resources that are overworked or under-utilized, ensuring that all resources are in place at each appropriate stage in the lifecycle, yielding more efficient and rapid process execution. In addition, users will benefit from Telelogic's simulation capabilities which prioritize processes and provide detailed performance comparisons at every level in the cycle.
"Based on our experience working with customers in the federal government sector, CommerceQuest's relationship with Telelogic means that we will be in a position to respond to the growing need for end-to-end process management in this sector much more rapidly," said Mike Forster, chairman and CEO of CommerceQuest. "The powerful combination of our Universal Process Engine with Telelogic's System Architect will enable our joint customers to take their processes through each stage of the lifecycle, and importantly through to execution, faster than ever before, yielding significant cost reductions, as well as dramatic improvements in business performance."
Telelogic's System Architect is a leading tool for developing enterprise architectures and models of systems and business processes. The System Architect tool suite supports the capture, analysis and visualization of information about the relationships among systems, applications and business processes. Organizations utilize this information to improve decision-making about technology and business alignment.
System Architect also provides comprehensive support for industry standard architectural frameworks, including the U.S. Department of Defense's architecture framework (DoDAF), which is the heart of C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) that is used by the military to support planning, decision making and execution. By leveraging the combined Telelogic and CommerceQuest offering, organizations will benefit from complete support for operational and systems modeling, automation and execution to receive significant time savings and efficiencies.
"Interest in business process management and enterprise architecture is increasing rapidly as organizations seek integrated solutions for the capture, visualization and communication about their processes and systems," said Jan Popkin, Chief Strategist, Telelogic. "This solution offers a comprehensive, integrated BPM offering that automates the transfer of process knowledge from models and architecture into an execution engine. Telelogic's software tools are designed to help organizations design, define and deliver advanced systems and software that eliminate unnecessary layers of complexity in development, and accelerate the business value gained from the development lifecycle."
