webMethods Debuts Targeted Solutions for Enhancing Business Process
Productivity webMethods Fabric Product Suite Combined With Deep
Domain Knowledge and Industry Partnerships to Better Address
Business Critical Requirements FAIRFAX, Va., July 18
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- webMethods Inc. (NASDAQ:WEBM), a leading
business integration and optimization software company, today
introduced webMethods for Compliance (see separate release for full
details) as the first in a series of new Business Process
Productivity solutions. Additional offerings for the consumer
goods, financial services, manufacturing and retail sectors are
scheduled to debut later this year. These new solutions add
domain-specific features and embedded support for industry best
practices to the extensive capabilities offered by webMethods
Fabric(TM) for integrating, assembling and optimizing end-to-end
business processes. In doing so, enterprises can employ these
solutions to realize continuous process improvements, which is the
benchmark for achieving increased Business Process Productivity
with greater speed, agility and certainty than previously possible.
Employing this approach, a leading manufacturer was able to
simultaneously improve on-time fulfillment rates while reducing the
number of manually-processed orders -- both by 75% -- by
automatically identifying and resolving potential exceptions
throughout its order fulfillment process. Likewise, a global
banking giant is using these capabilities to manage, monitor and
optimize more than 40,000 business rules dynamically applied to
50,000 hourly transactions encompassing 10,000 corporate customers
spread across 40 countries using 50 different currencies. Working
with dedicated solution partners and clients, webMethods is
building upon this success to develop Business Process Productivity
solutions addressing compliance monitoring, payments processing,
new product introductions and promotions, demand-driven
manufacturing and other strategic requirements. With a focus on
speeding deployment and return on investment, these solutions are
being developed around a comprehensive set of features, including:
* Personalized user interfaces and reporting dashboards to speed
and simplify end-user adoption. * Predefined business templates,
rules, processes and key performance indicators (KPIs) to enhance
the immediate business value that these solutions can deliver. *
Documented reference architectures, implementation methodologies,
targeted training programs, and user-based business case analysis,
provided by webMethods and/or its dedicated solution partners, to
help ensure successful implementation of the technology.
Underscoring the speed and reliability in which each solution can
be deployed, webMethods documents an average of two projects going
into production on any given business day with an average return on
investment of just 10 months being reported. "Our new series of
Business Process Productivity solutions extends the value
proposition offered by webMethods Fabric with additional resources
for more completely addressing a number of unique business
requirements -- much faster than custom development and with
greater precision than traditional packaged applications," said
David Mitchell, president and CEO, webMethods Inc. "Through close
collaboration with our 1,300 enterprise customers and our global
industry partners, we've gained significant insight into the
business process issues challenging corporations along with the
means to address these issues in a repeatable way to deliver
greater efficiency, predictability, and flexibility. As a component
of our value-based selling approach, the introduction of these
additional solutions for Business Process Productivity allows us to
capitalize on this experience to provide our customers with even
higher value returns." webMethods Fabric offers industry-leading
capabilities for business integration, business process management,
business activity monitoring, and composite application development
within a unified product suite. As such, it provides users with the
integrated ability to automate and extend core operations along
with the necessary levels of end-to-end visibility needed to
continually optimize critical business processes. Through the use
of patent- pending 'fingerprinting' technology, it can even help
predict, diagnose, and resolve real-time exceptions within ongoing
business processes. webMethods is the only vendor to combine all of
these features within a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which
helps enterprises deploy these capabilities much faster than
otherwise possible while achieving additional benefits from re-
using existing applications as readily invoked Web services. About
