I don't have a whole lot to say about this acquisition of Proforma by Metastorm today, except that I tried to ask a question during the media call and the conference line must have been broken, because no one asked any questions and they ended the call pretty quickly. It was either that or they were ignoring me (and everyone else who was probably trying to ask questions).

The key point, made by Metastorm's CEO Bob Farrell, is that the new Metastorm Enterprise will "uniquely address the three critical challenges facing organizations today," which are:

Understanding the underlying dynamics of the organization, collaborating to ensure the pieces fit together, and creating agility within the context of overall enterprise strategy and architecture;

Mapping out an end state that maximizes the effectiveness of key business processes, intertwined with other enterprise assets, to achieve strategic objectives;

Executing optimized, effective business processes with cross-functional transparency and the flexibility to adapt and implement new ideas quickly.

I would agree with those points. That is in line with the editorial perspective of ebizQ.
