Quotes
Rio Mori, Executive Vice President, Platform Products, Fujitsu
America:
"The Interstage Cloud BPM platform enables Fujitsu to create truly
innovative win-win programs for our customers and partners. We have
eliminated cost and deployment time barriers, thereby allowing enterprises
to develop process-based solutions and partners to create new
revenue-generating business process applications. While this will clearly
spur adoption of our Interstage BPM suite, the real benefit accrues to
companies that will have a more affordable way to improve their business
processes."
Michele Cantara, Gartner:
"Enterprises today need to be hyper-connected, so this is fostering a wave
of collaborative development within enterprises, globally distributed
development teams, across partners, suppliers and customers. BPM platforms
in the Cloud can support dynamic, less structured processes while providing
end-to-end visibility across business processes involving all
collaborators. BPM platforms provide the right balance between process
flexibility and governance. Some customers want a single vendor to rely on
for their KPIs and SLAs for BPM in the Cloud. These customers should seek
out vendors who deliver BPMS in the Cloud using their own data centers."
