Savvion, a business process management (BPM) company, today announced the Business Solutions Alliance Program (BSAP), designed to offer best practices and lower the cost of developing, marketing and delivering critical business applications.

ebizQ received the following:

Powered by Savvion's Extended BPM platform, the program will allow Savvion partners, customers and entrepreneurs to quickly turn domain knowledge into profitable applications, delivered on-demand and on-premise.

In today's market, companies need many more business applications than are available to run their businesses efficiently. As the cost of development, delivery, marketing, sales and support can be prohibitive to new offerings, those with innovative business application ideas often don't have the resources to make these solutions commercially available. Savvion's BSAP provides development, operational, marketing and sales support to program partners including Anacomp, Satyam and UISOL to help create new business process applications for the market.

"The Business Solutions Alliance Program will bring our customers a whole new set of innovative applications at affordable prices, while allowing our partners to develop and deliver them quickly and affordably," comments Dr. Ketabchi, President, CEO and Founder of Savvion. "We have lowered the barriers for our partners to deliver unique solutions and for our customers to choose from a much wider selection of cost effective applications - all powered by Savvion's leading Extended BPM platform and support services."

Savvion will bundle and integrate related partner applications into suites to give customers needed applications at greatly reduced costs and deliver them faster than ever before. BSAP will also give existing customers the ability to communicate needs to partners and request new applications to meet their requirements.

"Savvion Business Solutions Alliance Program will allow us to develop and market applications for critical business processes," said Mr. Sriram Krishnan, Senior Vice President - Enterprise & Consulting Solutions at Satyam. "With Savvion's application development platform, we deliver enterprise class process solutions with full technical and functional support from Savvion."

The program will be managed by Pejman Makhfi, Savvion Vice President of Business Solutions, with a dedicated team of technical and support services staff. Makhfi re-joined Savvion recently after spending eight years in helping entrepreneurs, technology investors and forward-thinking startups to build innovative business applications.

Pejman commented, "Through the BSAP program, we intend to bring true Best-Of-Breed solutions to market. The team we have in place will ensure partners have the resources available to quickly overcome typical obstacles in the development process to deliver capable business process applications."

"Enterprises seek time-to-market advantages at ever-decreasing costs. This puts tremendous pressure on professional services firms as they seek to meet those requirements while maintaining profitability," according to Maureen Fleming, program director of IDC's Business Process, Integration and Deployment Software advisory service. "As system integrators increasingly focus on the creation of process-centric reusable assets, software vendors that support these efforts will be at a competitive advantage."

Savvion provides an extensive set of application development expertise, including application development methodology and domain foundations to make building business applications easier. Savvion also offers application development services like business application testing, QA and product documentation to ensure delivery of high quality products.

Ali Vojdani, CEO of Utility Integration Solutions, Inc., a Savvion Solutions Alliance partner, said, "The Savvion Business Solutions Alliance Program will allow us to develop and market applications for critical business processes in the utility industry. We now have access to the best application development platform available to produce enterprise class process solutions with full technical and functional support from Savvion to deliver innovative products to our customers."

In addition to support with application development and delivery, partners will have unparalleled marketing and sales support. Partners will have immediate access to Savvion's marketing and sales materials and significant sales opportunities through Savvions' existing customer base. Savvion will aggregate similar applications to create bundled solutions of various partners' solutions as, ready-to-go, out-of-box, comprehensive packaged application suites.
