HandySoft Global Corp., a provider of Business Process Management software and solutions, today announced the release of BizFlow 11 version 3 (11.3). The new release provides enhanced visibility and productivity for business users and managers, while offering Project Management Office (PMO) and IT level users the ability to deliver automated processes faster and more cost-effectively.

ebizQ received the following:

Says Caffrey Lee, VP of Product Management, "We are very excited about this version of BizFlow. All the new capabilities are truly market-driven. Customer collaboration has paid off in great new functionality for enabling people to quickly adapt to business changes while minimizing the IT cost."

Forrester Research writes, "Most business applications are too inflexible to keep pace with the businesses they support. Today's applications force people to figure out how to map isolated pools of information and functions to their tasks and processes, and they force IT pros to spend too much budget to keep up with evolving markets, policies, regulations, and business models. IT's primary goal during the next five years should be to invent a new generation of enterprise software that adapts to the business and its work and evolve with it. Forrester calls this new generation Dynamic Business Applications, emphasizing close alignment with business processes and work (design for people) and adaptability to business change (build for change)." ("The Dynamic Business Applications Imperative", Forrester Research, Inc., September 2007).

Designed for both business users and IT professionals and built to support dynamic business environments, BizFlow® 11.3 moves beyond the flat, one-dimensional feel of traditional process management solutions. It offers vivid drill-down capabilities, sound critical path identification and analytics, as well as enhanced dynamic process automation. Each of these key, next-generation capabilities provides users the ability to deploy business processes that adapt to and evolve with an organization's ever-changing business environment.

BizFlow® 11.3 improves on the seamless, single platform integration of structured and ad-hoc process featured in the BizFlow® v11 Series. The enhanced BPMS continues to enable organizations to more efficiently execute day-to-day work, gain full visibility into resource utilization, alert users and management of potential issues, drive quick remediation, and bring structure to all work processes. In addition, the updated software continues to discourage the need for time-laden business process analysis through dynamic process development, an innovative feature that accelerates time-to-value and results in real-world, work-based business models. From the structured paper-based process to the ad-hoc email task-oriented process, BizFlow® captures it all, delivering the value of traditional BPM – control, visibility and productivity – across all types of work.

Says Bruce McLeod, CEO of HandySoft Global, "With BizFlow v11 Series, we truly offer the marketplace a BPM Suite for creating dynamic business applications. Users can build applications for rapid modification and execution, variable conditions, and short-lived situational needs. They can also conceptualize process information for real-time executive monitoring and decision-making. Today hundreds of customers around the world use BizFlow for their dynamic business applications in government, financial services, manufacturing, and other markets. BizFlow is an exceptional solution platform. We truly believe it to be the best BPM Suite enabling business automation across all types of tasks and processes."
