In its latest Business Process Management (BPM) Market Update Report, Bloor Research recognized QPR Software’s Business Process Management Suite as Innovator and categorized QPR Software as a BPM Specialist.

Simon Holloway, BPM Practice Leader at Bloor Research characterizes QPR Software as one of two vendors out of all vendors covered (a total of 24) that are showing the way to what will be delivered as “BPM version 2” by providing a BPM platform that aligns control of process with business strategy. The report also highlights QPR’s impressive worldwide penetration through an extensive partner network.

The QPR BPM Suite provides a rapidly deployable and robust business process management platform, designed to support the complete BPM lifecycle, and is focused at business users. Unique in integrating business process management technology (QPR ProcessGuide) with performance management technology (QPR ScoreCard), the QPR BPM Suite allows organizations to link process improvement with strategy, corporate goals and objectives in a way that makes best use of available resources. This allows organizations to rapidly identify improvement opportunities and maximize process improvement gains, therefore accelerating their return on investment and providing a continuous driver for process improvement.

“We are thrilled to see our BPM Suite stand out so well among the world’s leading BPM solution providers” Tony Virtanen, Vice President of Products and Technology commented, “especially the acknowledgement in being innovative and visionary is a real compliment to our work. We are now showing the rest of the field what functionality their BPM Suites are benchmarked against” he continued.

Earlier, Bloor Research has praised QPR Software for providing a complete BPM solution that allows organizations to adopt Business Process Management in a phased approach, which unlike other BPM solutions allows customers to adopt BPM in phases without having to commit a large amount of resources to a “make or break” BPM project.
