WATERLOO, ON - 2012-01-18 - OpenText's (NASDAQ: OTEX,
TSX: OTC) Business Process Solutions (BPS) group today
announced that OpenText-Metastorm has been positioned in
the Leaders quadrant of the 2011 Magic Quadrant for
Business Process Analysis Tools report published by David
Norton on December 12, 2011.
The Gartner 2011 Magic Quadrant for Business Process
Analysis Tools research report evaluates vendor solutions
in a particular market segment based on their completeness
of vision and ability to execute. According to the report,
"Process modeling as part of BPA is becoming a
starting point for a growing number of business process
management (BPM) and compliance projects, and helps avoid
the rush to execution that often results in poor BPM ROI or
failure. Conversely, most BPM projects start with tools
that include process modeling in support of workflow, and
add a BPA tool to better understand their processes and
simulate process changes."
"It is clear that BPA continues to be a critical
component for achieving process improvement goals within
organizations," said Kamran Kheirolomoom, General
Manager, OpenText, Business Process Solutions. "We
believe our Leader position in the BPA Magic Quadrant,
together with our Leader positions in the most recent Magic
Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Tools1 and the Magic
Quadrant for Business Process Management Suites (BPMS) 2,
is reflective of our commitment to and success in
delivering solutions that actually help organizations align
their resources to drive better business outcomes as they
execute their corporate strategy. This ability to execute
is especially critical today as businesses continually
strive to differentiate and increase their strategic
advantage while constantly having to adapt to dynamic
market conditions."
As part of the Business Process Analysis Tools assessment,
Gartner evaluated OpenText's (Metastorm) ProVision, a
comprehensive solution that allows organizations to
discover, model, analyze and optimize their business
processes. Offered through the OpenText Business Process
Solutions (BPS) group, ProVision provides deep enterprise
and business architecture capabilities that allow
organizations to better understand how their business
processes can be improved to support broader enterprise
goals and strategies. Customers consistently select
ProVision for its ease of use, built in methodologies, wide
array of industry reference models and support for both
business and IT perspectives, all of which ensure rapid
time to value for customers. Customers are further
benefitting from ProVision's rich simulation and
analysis capabilities, enabling them to achieve continuous
process improvements.
Organizations seeking to transform their business
operations achieve better results by integrating their EA,
BPA and BPM disciplines because they all share the common
focus of enabling business change in the context of an
organization's strategy. Enterprise Architecture
identifies the requirements or areas preventing an
organization from executing against its strategy. BPM can
then be used to create an operational solution to close
those execution gaps. Leveraging the two together,
companies have a clearer picture of which BPM projects will
have the greatest impact on their ability to execute and
can more accurately allocate resources to BPM initiatives.
BPA enables companies analyze and then further optimize
those business process improvements. Connecting and
coordinating these activities is the key to closing the gap
between strategy and execution.
