The latest version 8.1 of QPR Software’s Integrated Management System software is now as a whole compatible with Windows 7. QPR 8.1’s server based process management software QPR ProcessGuide, performance management software QPR ScoreCard and QPR Portal interface have passed the Compatible with Windows 7’ logo certification. QPR ProcessGuide Xpress software passed the certification among the first desktop process modeling tools in the world in October, and before the public availability of Windows 7.

Based on the combination of process management software QPR ScoreCard, performance management software QPR ProcessGuide and web based QPR Portal interface, it provides organizations with performance and process management tools for improving the way organizations manage strategy, operations, quality and risk.

"We are very proud to be among the first to have passed the ‘Compatible with Windows 7’ logo certification and excited about the possibilities our software can offer on this impressive platform,” commented Tony Virtanen, Vice President of Products & Technology and continues: "As a result of the  extensive and demanding compatibility certification process our customers can rest assured knowing that QPR products have been tested to meet all of the technical requirements to be compatible with Windows® 7.”

“QPR Software is a valued partner and we commend them on being among our first partners certified for Windows 7,” said Klaus Holse Andersen, Microsoft Vice President, Western Europe Region. “It’s an exciting time for Microsoft and for our partners and customers, and certification means not only smooth transition to an outstanding new Windows platform but also great breadth and depth in terms of applications that help businesses run more efficiently.”

Windows is all about making your life easier. To make it easy, Microsoft recommends “Compatible with Windows® 7” applications because they have passed Microsoft-designed tests to help ensure they install readily every time and minimize the number of crashes, hangs, and restarts that you experience. This all helps ensure a compatible and reliable experience with any edition of Windows 7, including 64-bit.
