Why Interstage BPM

Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Choose Fujitsu Interstage Business Process Manager For Your Process Improvement Initiative

Reason #1 – Practical BPM – Customer Requirements-Driven Culture
Our customers speak and we listen. For instance, the true value of a BPM solution is derived when an enterprise can leverage their BPM solution to host several business applications that cater to the individual needs of their business units. This reduces the total cost of ownership of the BPM offering. The latest release of Interstage Business Process Manager is the only BPM suite in the market that addresses these real-world challenges.

Reason #2 – "Strongest Product Architecture" – Forrester, 2007
As companies grow and expand their businesses, there is a need for a BPM solution that can easily integrate with existing applications and leverage investments in infrastructure. In a recent evaluation, Forrester Research stated that the "componentized architecture of the product and its detailed APIs differentiate Interstage Business Process Manager". Fujitsu continues to invest heavily in ensuring that our BPM solution is flexible, standards-compliant, and can scale and our customers reiterate that these are truly some of Fujitsu's key differentiators. A leading financial institution that has standardized on Interstage Business Process Manager reports that their internal evaluations showed that their automated business processes are now operating at Six Sigma level quality – an achievement that we are proud to be associated with.

Reason #3 – "Completely Integrated BPMS" – Gartner, 2007
Ever wonder how many different components you will need to put together to get all the functionality of a true BPM Suite? With Fujitsu, its simple. Interstage Business Process Manager is a completely integrated BPM Suite and as Gartner states, "excels in managing high-volume, human task management and system integration". Business process management is all about bringing people, processes and information together and Interstage Business Process Manager is one of the few seamlessly integrated solutions that can help you do that.

Reason #4 – Build Rich Applications That Match Business Requirements Faster
The newest release of Interstage Business Process Manager lets you quickly compose rich applications that business users are comfortable using. From rapidly creating screens that can include calculations, validations, interdependent lists to choose from, being able to dynamically update fields based on the choices users make, to being able to build online forms with multiple sub-pages and apply corporate style-sheets so that a company's business users find it easy to get work done efficiently.

Reason #5 – Seamless Collaboration On Tasks Made Simple
Business processes often become complex exercises involving numerous people, tasks and decisions. Such complexity demands real-time access to relevant content, the ability to quickly and easily collaborate with various team members and a preserved audit trail of each step involved in the decision-making process. Examples of highly collaborative processes include innovation management, new product launches, contract negotiation and execution, deal management for M&A and private equity, creating educational materials for learning services, managing call centers and the creation and management of customer self-service portals. The newest release of Interstage Business Process Manager comes with enhancements such as intuitive, AJAX-based task lists, wikis, instant messaging, support for RSS feeds, and syndications, that makes collaboration on business tasks easier.

Reason #6 – Advanced Process Analytics Inside
Our customers demand advanced process analysis capabilities to provide them with actionable insight to aid customer retention, new market penetration, nimbler product development and innovation, and to manage operational risk. The latest release of Interstage Business Process Manager provides extensive reporting capabilities built in to the product to help enterprises achieve these objectives.

Reason #7 – Governed Business Transformation – With CentraSite
As companies plough forward with their business transformation initiatives, the need for governance and reuse of assets becomes imperative. Interstage Business Process Manager is well integrated with CentraSite, the leading SOA governance offering. This helps customers deliver new solutions quickly while reusing their existing assets resulting in well thought-through and more cost-efficient business transformation.

Reason #8 – Competitively Priced Offering
There are always challenges with getting new projects off the ground; we believe that pricing shouldn't be one of them. Our team of BPM software specialists are trained to help you to demonstrate the value of BPM within your organization and support you with packaging that can kick-start your initiative and best meets your unique needs. As one of our reference customers puts it – "Fujitsu's Interstage Business Process Manager came packaged with all the functionality we needed, was licensed the way we wanted to be licensed and met all our business requirements."

Reason #9 – Trusted & Innovative Software Partner
Given the tremendous amount of flux in the BPM & SOA software market as a result of mergers and acquisitions, we believe that our customers are looking for a software business partner that they can depend on for long-term support and continuous investments in innovation. Fujitsu continues to deliver on both fronts. Fujitsu has grown to be a $53 billion conglomerate and a globally trusted business partner for more than 70 years by delivering innovative solutions. The 34,000 patents that we have garnered is proof of our investment in innovation. Fujitsu was the first company to deliver a collaborative workflow solution, the first to deliver a completely Java-based BPM solution, the first to deliver a standards-based business process modeler, and we continue to deliver cutting-edge technology to our customers while ensuring that they are not locked in to our offerings.

Reason #10 - Stellar Global Customer Support
Speaking at a recent Gartner BPM Summit, one of our customers said, "The outgoing message of one of Fujitsu's Senior Customer Support Engineers reads 'Fujitsu Software Group Services and Support strives to surpass your expectations. Please let us know if we ever fall short of our mission'. At first, I thought it was corny. But then I came to realize that the group truly lives by that motto". Engrained in the Fujitsu culture is a commitment to delivering high-quality, scalable software coupled with stellar customer service – one of the key reasons that customers and partners rely on Fujitsu to be their long-term, trusted software partner.
