Business Objects and Savvion Partner to Take Performance-Driven Organizations to the Next Level

Business process management software provides the final step so organizations can leverage the most out of their BI solutions, said Patrick Morrissey, senior vice president of marketing and business development at Savvion. Business intelligence surfaces the problem so that business managers can work toward improvement. Intelligence and analytics combined with BPM are a natural fit to deliver actionable, complete, and real world solutions that take organizations to the next performance level.

"The ability to unlock the power of intelligence is connected to an organization's ability to define and improve their current processes, and then make them actionable," said Wyatt Mullin, vice president of global ISV channels at Business Objects. "Integrating business intelligence and business process management creates a perfect marriage and offers organizations a powerful way to transform their business and achieve competitive advantage. We are pleased to add Savvion to our growing list of Technology Alliance Partners and look forward to working with them on joint customer engagements."

Business Objects recently announced BusinessObjects™ XI Release 2 Productivity Suite, a new set of capabilities to enhance simplicity for end users, greater scalability and performance for enterprise information management (EIM), and improved efficiency for IT. Part of the new solution is geared toward operational BI, which delivers real time data to users within daily business processes - whether they're on the phone with a customer or on the road with inventory - so they can make quick, informed decisions. With new web services focused on operational BI, Business Objects will now provide enhanced integration with Savvion BusinessManager™ 7.0 to ensure that BI is an integral part of business operations. For example, a procurement manager can use BI within a BPM application to monitor how well vendors are delivering against their contracts.
