Nasdaq and Toronto-listed JetForm Corporation has announced the re-launch of the company as Accelio Corporation, reflecting its broader set of solutions and business philosophy.
Accelio is represented in SA by Global Technology Business Intelligence (GBI), which had secured a number of successes at local companies with the former JetForm`s products.
"Accelio is very different from the company that opened its doors in 1982," said Johan Cloete, CEO of Global Technology Business Intelligence. "JetForm had a legacy of success in the electronic forms business. As they continued to evolve, and particularly over the past 18 months, JetForm expanded their offerings to encompass a complete family of Web-enabled business process solutions. Accelio technology delivers quick, solid return-on-investment and gives organisations access to critical business processes and documents anytime, anywhere."
The new name, Accelio, denotes acceleration, a key benefit of the company`s family of software solutions. Accelio solutions enable organisations to extend and increase their core business processes and meet the needs of their customers, partners and employees better and faster. Equally, Accelio is about leadership. By ensuring speed and quality in business processes, Accelio enables companies to develop their own direction better through the saving of time and money. At the same time, Accelio demonstrates its own front running by continuing to deliver value to its more than 7 000 customers worldwide.
Along with a name change, the company has also adopted a simpler product naming architecture. All of Accelio products now fall under one of three solution brands - Accelio Capture (formerly e-Forms), Accelio Integrate (formerly e-Process) and Accelio Present (formerly e-Document Presentment). These brands are a simple way of describing what the product group will do for Accelio customers: Accelio business process solutions help organisations to capture, integrate and present strategically relevant information to their employees, partners and customers.
"Process automation has become a critical competitive advantage for companies," said Andrew Warzecha, Senior Vice President of Electronic Business Strategies at Meta Group. "A well-designed, comprehensive, automated business process helps organisations reduce costs, increase efficiencies and strengthen customer and supplier relationships. Vendors, like Accelio, that have targeted this rapidly evolving market will find ready user interest in their offerings."
In fiscal 2001, Accelio achieved a number of significant milestones. The company introduced more new products than in any other year of its history, releasing a powerful set of Web-enabled data capture, process integration and electronic document presentment solutions. These solutions ensure that fast, round-the-clock services are available to a wide range of users, including the visually impaired.
Accelio empowered its data capture solutions (Accelio Capture) with wireless technologies to expand its customers` mobility and productivity. Enterprise application integration (EAI) was added to the Accelio Integrate offering, allowing organisations to seamlessly integrate core business systems (including existing middleware), ERP, CRM and legacy systems, creating a complete business process management solution. Finally, Accelio Present solutions made significant progress towards a complete output management (OMS) offering, which features formatting, presentment, output management, archiving and personalisation.
Sales force expansion continues to be another important area of strategic focus at Accelio. As a result of successful implementation on this strategy, Accelio achieved increasing revenue growth in the 2001 fiscal year.
In the past 17 months, Accelio formed new strategic partnerships with industry leaders Siebel Systems and Accenture. By aligning itself with these and other global leaders, Accelio is ensuring that its solutions can be easily deployed in an organisation`s existing technology infrastructure. In addition, these strategic relationships have expanded the company`s reach in selected vertical markets, including the financial services and public sectors.
