Helsinki, Finland. September 13, 2007. The market for Business Process Management (BPM) related solutions and services is growing rapidly. This is mainly due to the fact that companies are moving away from traditional functional organization models to process oriented ways of operating. Companies are seeking sustainable competitive advantage through their new process based approaches that take into consideration the key interfaces between humans and IT-systems.
According to Forrester Research, an independent technology and market research company, the market for BPM products will increase dramatically over the next four years and should reach about 6.3 billion US dollars by 2011. Gartner, another leading research consultancy, predicts the same growth and market conditions to unfold over the next few years. Gartner also estimates that both private and public organizations will require more high-end solution providers to cater for their increased integration needs as BPM implementations become more complex. QPR Software, a Helsinki-headquartered global software vendor, has steadily expanded its product portfolio towards a complete BPM Suite. This new offering enables organizations to turn process management into a sustained competitive advantage.
“Successful organizations see their business processes as key strategic assets. However, managing these business processes is a real challenge for many, since the most critical component – the individual human – is also the one that is the most difficult to manage,” says Matti Kanninen, CEO of QPR Software. “QPR has an important and unique role in enabling organizations to manage, optimize and automate their human-centric business processes. We help organizations achieve their business goals by providing them with products and solutions with which they can become efficient and agile.”

Process management is a key component for successful business management
Process management is a management methodology that emphasizes speed, flexibility and agility. When moving to process management, workflows are optimized so that they produce maximum value. “To retain or increase their competitive advantage, organizations must continuously search for more cost effective means with which to conduct their operations, while simultaneously meeting and exceeding client expectations,” says Matti Kanninen. The appropriate use of specialized software applications, like QPR BPM Suite, enables new and innovative ways of running one’s business.
