ebizQ's Business Agility Watch

Here at ebizQ, I don't usually publish earning statements in our news section, but I do get a slew of them at the end of each quarter in my email box. While I don't publish them, I certainly read them, because they sometimes give me insight into the kind of convergence, expansion, acquisition, consolidation, merging (whatever!) that seems to be happening so much these days. Seriously, every week we have another major acquisition that totally disrupts and changes our industry.

One thing I was very interested to read today was Metastorm's earning statement report. From the release:

The privately held company posted record revenues and profitability, experienced 30% license growth year-over-year, and reported a continued increase in enterprise deployments of the Metastorm BPM® suite. In addition, existing customers continued to invest in the solution by increasing the number of users, deploying new processes, and implementing additional functional capability to support the full roundtrip process life-cycle.

Then they went on to share the major global customer wins they've had in the last quarter, which include ADP (France), Cameron McKenna (U.K.), John Deere (Germany), MMA Financial (U.S.), Osborne Clark (U.K.), Rome Airport (Italy), Royal Pharmaceutical Society (U.K.), and Wyeth (U.S.). Existing customers expanding their use of the Metastorm BPM suite included Channel 4 Television (U.K.), Chubb & Sons (U.S), FTN Midwest (U.S.), KPMG (U.S.), SkandiaBanken (Denmark), Staples (U.S.), and the U.S. Navy (U.S.).

These are big customer wins, and now I want to know a bit more about these Process Pods®. Perhaps we should do a podcast about these process pods that we can play on our iPods?
