Ramco Systems unveils an innovative business process platform approach

Ramco Systems Ltd on March 14, 2007 has announced a new approach to application development that enables fast, flexible deployment and change on demand of business applications. Using the latest in business process modeling and service-oriented technologies, the Ramco Business Process Delivery System^TM (BPDS) helps companies quickly develop and deploy enterprise applications that adapt to the way customers do business.

To keep pace with today's customer-driven business environment, enterprise applications need to adapt to the business, and not the other way around. Yet for most Companies, current, monolithic software applications are no longer meeting business demands. Business users are frustrated by inflexible applications and IT departments are plagued by heterogeneous business systems, a growing number of legacy applications, and proprietary software stacks that limit agility. To help customers address these challenges, the Company has developed an approach that helps Companies implement business processes more quickly and effectively by modeling and managing them independently from the application architecture or infrastructure. The Ramco BPDS delivers model-based applications that are composed, not coded, using existing or newly created business assets with an adaptable and scalable IT infrastructure.

Forecasting customer-driven move into fast, flexible Business Process Management Systems, at the recent Business Process Management Summit at California, Managing Vice President at Gartner Daryl Plummer had noted "Companies must re-think their businesses to keep pace with the changing demands of their customers. The environments that customers use to adapt their systems and processes must be agile, and support change on demand if competitive advantage is to be achieved."

The Ramco Business Delivery System is a suite of products that help enterprise customers rapidly transformer their business applications. It includes:

- The Ramco Business Process Platform^TM (BPP) combines innovative business modelling capabilities with an integrated services environment and business services repository to create and assemble agile, global-class applications. Based on SOA standards, the Ramco BPP provides a uniform, non-proprietary architecture that works with all technologies and infrastructures platforms.

- Ramco Business Services^TM offer customers the ability to select from a library of more than 1,000 pre-configured business services across several vertical markets for reuse. Users can easily customize pre-configured services or create new ones from a process model, with the highest level of software quality.

- Ramco Business Analytics^TM provide business intelligence through the use of dashboard, key performance indicators and a balanced scorecard framework. Business Analytics provide a ready-made reporting and analytics capability for business applications.

"Current software development approaches have failed to provide enterprises with sufficient flexibility and speed to respond and change to meet customer demands. In order to be customer-centric, companies need systems to support the way their business works," said Barbara Saxby, Chief Marketing Officer for the Company. "Ramco's BPP approach helps customers build better applications, so that when your business changes your system changes too - it has to be that simple."

"Large companies are fast adopting BPM and SOA technologies. Ramco, with its BPDS, is well positioned to effectively leverage the untapped market opportunities," said Mr. P R Venketrama Raja, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, of the Company.
