Metastorm, a leading provider of Business Process Management (BPM), Business Process Analysis (BPA), and Enterprise Architecture (EA) software for business resource optimisation, today announced that its enterprise architecture and business process analysis software suite, Metastorm ProVision, is now available in German and Italian.
Metastorm extended its investment in translations to meet the enterprise modelling and process improvement demands of its growing international customer base. With the addition of these two languages, Metastorm ProVision is now available in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
"As an Italy-based company, it is extremely important for us to develop long-term relationships with vendors that respond to customer demand and provide software in our native language," stated Milo Gusmeroli, Vice Direttore Generale of Banca Popolare di Sondrio. "Metastorm has responded to our needs by releasing the Italian version of Metastorm ProVision. This will allow us to involve more people in our enterprise modelling and business process analysis efforts, more rapidly deploy processes across our organisation and more quickly achieve the benefits of process improvement."
Metastorm ProVision is an end-to-end solution for EA and BPA that enables companies to model, visualise and improve its entire enterprise- resulting in a thorough understanding of the cause-effect relationships between business strategy, business processes and the systems and technology that support them. This understanding of the enterprise serves as the context for effective business process improvement. Metastorm is unique in its ability to allow enterprise architecture and process models defined in Metastorm ProVision to be carried directly into process design and execution in the Metastorm BPM® suite.
"Growing demand for localisation underscores the worldwide reach of Metastorm's users and our position in the global market," said Robin Martin, executive vice president of International Operations for Metastorm. "Localising our software gives more users access to our software, and we are pleased to respond to customer needs as we continue to innovate and deliver on our vision of being the leader in enterprise architecture, business process analysis and business process management software worldwide."
Metastorm ProVision is positioned in the Leader quadrant in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Process Analysis Tools1, published in September 2008, and Metastorm BPM is positioned in the Leader quadrant in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Process Management Suites2, published in December 2007.
