Helsinki, 2011-02-15 08:08 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QPR Software to Offer Business Process Optimization with Automated Business Process Discovery Software QPR ProcessAnalyzer
Helsinki, February 15, 2011 – QPR Software today launches Automated Business Process Discovery software QPR ProcessAnalyzer, which is aimed at allowing organizations to optimize their business processes at a fraction of the time and cost compared to traditional process optimization techniques.
Automated Business Process Discovery (ABPD) offers to automate the creation of comprehensive process models from unstructured, event-driven data as found in most business applications, and to reveal errors and deficiencies in processes by visualizing them. Industry Analyst Firm Gartner recently classified ABPD as a low-risk technology that delivers results fast.
The majority of business processes in companies today rely on the use by employees of a variation of business applications to support the execution of processes in a transaction-based manner. Pressures to reduce cost and improve the quality and compliance of business processes in domains such as marketing, sales and administration drive the need for systematic analysis of process characteristics such as cost, lead times, variation and error rates. Traditional process discovery approaches however, rely heavily on interviewing process participants, which is time consuming, subjective and limits the potential for finding problems and irregularities.
Automated Business Process Discovery takes data from the event logs (such as audit trails, messages, transactions, databases and so forth) of business applications in order to discover patterns and visualize a process model to fit the information. Apart from being significantly faster, this also ensures an objective evaluation of the current state of business processes in light of time, cost and quality parameters, and provides the basis for accurate identification of improvement opportunities.
“Organizations have been looking for this for a long time. QPR has ventured into this market in a much bigger way than anyone else in terms of what you can do with QPR ProcessAnalyzer and how easy to use the product is” according to Simon Holloway, Practice Leader – Process Management and RFID at analyst firm Bloor Research.
“QPR ProcessAnalyzer makes visual discovery and analysis really fast and accurate. Based on the analysis results it is easy to see what needs to be improved and how it can be improved.” Teemu Lehto, Vice President of Business Development at QPR Software commented. “Our customers use the product to analyze all kinds of processes, including service centers, manufacturing, order management, healthcare patient paths and workflow processes.”
After the 1.0 version, QPR Software has invested significant effort in rewriting the code with the aim of significantly improving usability in version 2.0, which is today made publicly available. QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2.0 is a Microsoft Excel-based, user-friendly and function-rich software that provides results fast in consulting projects without much additional IT overhead. This makes it an ideal choice for pragmatic and cost-effective analysis and optimization of business processes, particularly in transaction-heavy processes such as found for example in call centers, manufacturing, healthcare, financial services and logistics.
Pricing for QPR ProcessAnalyzer starts at 780 EUR for 1 month use with a single user license.
