Active Endpoints, the BPM systems provider, and GT Software have embarked on a marketing partnership designed to increase awareness of the importance of mainframes in BPM, according to Earth Times.

Mainframe applications remain a crucial component of many organisations' operations. Mainframe users continue to create new applications and spend significant resources to enhance existing mainframe applications.

Without an effective way to integrate mainframe technologies into process applications, the benefits that organisations seek by moving to BPM would be diluted.
