DVT appointed as Metastorm Alliance Partner

Johannesburg, 23 Aug 2005

DVT has been appointed a Metastorm Alliance Partner as part of a greater strategic growth plan for the business.

DVT, which traditionally operated in the Cape market and delivered software development and professional services, has expanded its Gauteng operation to include a product division.

"Over the last year we have diversified our strategy to incorporate products and we investigated market segments where we believe growth will complement our business strategy," says Derek Hughes, CEO of DVT Gauteng. "Business process management is a key area we identified that is non-industry specific. Metastorm is acknowledged by Gartner as the leader in its space, because it is accessible to business people as it decontaminates the hi-tech arcane language surrounding modelling, while it is underpinned by superb technology."

Hughes has placed Trevor van Rensburg, previously of Software Futures, at the helm of DVT`s new division.

"I have worked with Trevor before and he is one of the most accomplished business development people I have met in the software business. He also has a solid working knowledge of Metastorm," says Hughes.

"My mandate is to grow the product division through the development of an integrated solution of sales, consulting, and support," says Van Rensburg, director of DVT Gauteng. "Metastorm is the hinge pin because the already successful client base in SA`s manufacturing, financial services, business services and government sectors are achieving rapid return on investment and unique process advantage in customer service, supply chain operations, risk management and internal operations."

"Metastorm has realised significant growth in SA over the past few years, and we are pleased to announce our new alliance with DVT which will help us build upon this success and continue growing our presence in the market," says Neil Berry, director of South Africa for Metastorm. "DVT has established a Metastorm business unit to help expand our software into many new vertical markets and will be working in conjunction with our existing partners in SA to extend our penetration and leadership in the region. We are looking forward to a successful business relationship with DVT."

With a focus on complex, human-centric processes, Metastorm delivers a complete solution for roundtrip process improvement.
