SUNNYVALE, CA, Nov. 8, 2009 (Marketwire) --

SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/08/09 -- Fujitsu today announced in North America the release of Interstage(R) Business Process Manager (BPM) Version 11, offering enhanced "Sense and Respond" capabilities that let users proactively address changing business requirements. The latest release of Interstage BPM, which is also optimized to be offered via the Cloud, provides teams involved in collaborative, highly dynamic processes with past performance data and workload predictors, as well as with the flexibility to veer from established process paths to find more efficient ways to get work done. It is ideal for processes related to project management, case management, and new product introductions. Interstage BPM Version 11 delivers complete visibility across the end-to-end business process -- both the structured and unstructured segments. It captures these unpredictable, hybrid collaborative process patterns as they are being established -- thereby uncovering processes that really work for the business.

News Highlights
According to a Gartner report(1), 60 percent of C-level executives believe current IT solutions constrain choice and the ability to execute necessary business changes.

• Interstage BPM Version 11 provides business managers with detailed, real-time insight into how teams are performing against metrics and milestones. They are equipped to make quick changes to processes and veer from a previously defined structured process in order to get work done more efficiently and arrive at process patterns that really work for the business. Teams can thus work productively without having to model a complete process. Managers can assign work to team members to adapt to changes in situations, and in the background, Interstage BPM automatically captures these dynamic events. In this way, business team members implicitly participate in defining the process based on what actually works.
• Interstage BPM Version 11 visualizes these hybrid process patterns -- a combination of structured and unstructured process segments -- letting teams see over time how they can significantly improve their processes, even as they cross over from an enterprise to business partner organizations.
