« ebizQ Podcast: Global 360 on Microsoft Business Process Management Alliance | Main | Vendor Chatter from Cognos, Cartesis, SAS and OutlookSoft: Oracle Acquires Hyperion »

Yesterday at the Gartner Business Process Management Summit, Microsoft announced that they had invited ten companies to join a new alliance for BPM, with the stated focus on making BPM solutions more broadly accessible and helping companies take advantage of BPM tools based on the Microsoft® platform.

The companies in the alliance are AmberPoint, Ascentn, IDS Scheer, Fair Isaac, Global360, InRule, Metastorm, PNMsoft, RuleBurst and SourceCode Technology Holdings Inc.

After I spoke with Ben Cody, VP of Product Management for Global 360, I spoke with Ed Horst, VP of Marketing for AmberPoint. Ed spoke about how the work that AmberPoint is doing with Microsoft is the continuation of a longer relationship going back to late 2001 or so, and that the work that AmberPoint has been doing in making all of its products available in the .Net environment has been a key point for the business.
