Global consulting and IT services provider Techlogix, Inc. of Woburn, MA, and business performance improvement software developer QualiWare, Inc. of Armonk, NY, today announce a partnership to leverage best-of-breed business improvement implementation services with cutting-edge business improvement software.

ebizQ received the following:

The partnership will provide mid- to large-sized enterprises around the world with best-of-breed software and consulting services in the Business Process Management (BPM) arena. Techlogix and QualiWare are rapidly penetrating markets in both the northern and southern hemispheres.

QualiWare, a business improvement software powerhouse since 1991 with a tightly-integrated and highly-evolved suite of Business Process Management, Enterprise Architecture, and Quality Management software, has long been considered a strong contender in the highly-competitive business improvement software space. Complementarily, Techlogix professionals are helping to drive corporate strategies and goals across enterprise systems in the financial services, manufacturing, government, and retail sectors. Techlogix has developed special expertise in Master Data Management (MDM), Business Intelligence (BI), and BPM arenas through the development and refinement of domain-relevant implementation methodologies.

Executives from each company emphasize that the new partnership will translate into a complementary package of business improvement services and software. Implementation time for the package, even in large companies, will typically take days or weeks instead of the more common weeks to months. "Organizations around the globe are often challenged with heterogeneity in the execution of business processes,” says Steven Arbogast, President of QualiWare, Inc. “Each unit of the business operates differently. This heterogeneity frequently leads to excess costs and complexity, quality concerns, and inconsistent customer experiences. QualiWare business management solutions provide the basis for business analysis and change management of processes at any level of the organization. Our partnership with Techlogix permits us to deliver end-to-end process management solutions with proven methodologies, industry models, and decades of BPM experience across a wide range of industries.”

Techlogix is also excited by the new partnership. "Partnering with Qualiware enhances Techlogix's BPM Practice, as it provides a robust metamodeling and repository platform that will assist us in delivering BPM solutions,” says Salman Akhtar, President of Techlogix. “We also plan to utilize Qualiware's Platform in automating and enhancing our proprietary BPM Solution Delivery Methodology–'Techlogix BPX'–that will accelerate the process of requirement analysis, allow us to model and compile the solution components such as Business Architecture, IT Landscape, BPMN Model and Organization Model. QualiWare's platform offering compliments our BPM Practice in delivering strategic solutions with a life cycle of eight to twelve weeks, and it supports us in achieving continuous process improvement on an incremental basis."
