02 March 2010

Helsinki, Finland. March 2, 2010. QPR Software Plc, a leader in the market for Business Process Modeling and Analysis software, today announced the availability QPR ProcessGuide Xpress version 8.1 at an introductory price of 345 Euros. Consultants, Enterprise Architects and Process Owners seeking a more effective means of capturing process information benefit from a host of usability improvements that set a new standard in process model design and maintenance efficiency.

QPR ProcessGuide Xpress 8.1 is a powerful, repository-based desktop Business Process Modeling and Analysis tool, aimed at business professionals that seek a powerful means for managing business process information without having to compromise on ease of use. Business users often find themselves stuck with tools that lack adequate process design support. QPR ProcessGuide Xpress 8.1 offers them a user-friendly solution that provides all the productivity features of high-end process management tools in a competitively priced package.

Many of the improvements focus on allowing designers to create well-organized process information with surprisingly little effort. Creating process maps is now significantly faster by allowing users to select, position and connect objects with a single mouse action. Reusing existing model objects is now more convenient by actively assisting users in making selections, while alignment guides help users in optimizing process map organization and readability. The default modeling notation has been updated to provide users with a more comprehensive and graphically more appealing starting point while a large number of new shapes, line styles and shadow settings complement its already impressive arsenal of notation customization possibilities.

“Creating great process maps has always been demanding but now QPR ProcessGuide Xpress absolutely sets the standard where it comes to speed, effectiveness, usability and attractiveness” says Tony Virtanen, Vice President of Products and Technology, “Add that to its impressive modeling and analysis capabilities and support for standards like BPMN, BPEL and XPDL, and you end up with a total package that will speak to a lot of business people as a tool they just love to work with.”, he continues.

“QPR ProcessGuide Xpress offers essentially the same modeling and design functionality as its’ bigger, server-based brother QPR ProcessGuide, which renowned analyst firm Gartner recently placed on their Magic Quadrant for Business Process Analysis software” says Jari Jaakkola, CEO of QPR Software. “For anyone seeking a better way to manage process information than with office or drawing tools, right now is a great time to upgrade to QPR ProcessGuide Xpress and get one of the best tools at a very attractive price.” He continued.

To celebrate the availability of the new version as well as the recognition by Gartner, QPR Software today launched a special, three-month time-limited campaign that offers QPR ProcessGuide Xpress 8.1 single user perpetual license for only 345 Euros, a 50% discount on the normal price of 690 Euros. The campaign ends on May 31, 2010. QPR ProcessGuide Xpress can be downloaded for free for a 14-day evaluation period.
