Offering extends BPM from the enterprise to the desktop

DALLAS, Texas—September 10, 2007—Global 360, a leading provider of business process management (BPM) and optimization solutions, today announced the general availability of Process360 9.5.  With this release, Global 360 will use Microsoft’s BizTalk Server 2006 R2 to achieve advanced levels of automation, improve process collaboration and provide the first end-to-end process intelligence architecture.

Process360 9.5 enables customers to take advantage of their existing investments in Microsoft BizTalk Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, InfoPath, Word, Excel and PowerPoint in order to process enable both desktop and enterprise applications.  With BizTalk Server, organizations can more effectively extend BPM’s reach into other enterprise applications and data sources, and integration with SharePoint provides an online environment for teams to collaborate, share ideas and work more effectively.
