QPR recognised in Gartner's MarketScope for Enterprise Business Process Analysis report back

Johannesburg, 20 Feb 2014

QPR Software received a "Positive" rating in Gartner's MarketScope for Enterprise Business Process Analysis report. "MarketScope for Enterprise Business Process Analysis" is authored by David Norton and Teresa Jones and was published on 21 November 2013.

"We are delighted and excited to receive this positioning and recognition by Gartner, as we strongly believe that comprehensive management of operations, not just in process or system development context, is a necessity in the current competitive environment for more and more organisations. QPR can offer a comprehensive portfolio covering enterprise architecture, business modelling, automated process discovery and corporate performance management," says QPR CEO Jari Jaakkola.

According to Gartner's definition, enterprise business process analysis (EBPA) is the discipline of business modelling aimed at transforming and improving business performance, with an emphasis on cross-viewpoint, cross functional analysis and strategic and operational process-related decision support. It is aimed at improving business outcomes. EBPA is based on the principles of collaboration; short cycle delivery; lightweight, but robust modelling; and model governance.

"In our offering development we have focused on supporting various business transformation and operational development cases such as mergers, changes in business models, and IT investments. Working closely with our customers we recognized early the need for business-outcome driven solutions," Jaakkola continues.

The Gartner EBPA MarketScope evaluated the Enterprise business process analysis marketplace and depicts Gartner's analysis of how certain vendors measure against criteria for that marketplace. Gartner evaluated the EBPA vendors on the following criteria: Product/service, overall viability (business unit, financial, strategy and Organisation), market understanding, offering (product) strategy, business model, innovation and customer experience, with the latter two receiving a higher weighting.

QPR received the "Positive" evaluation, which was the highest rating possibly given in this MarketScope. Vendors in this category demonstrate strength in specific area. According to the report, customers should continue planned investments and potential customers consider these vendors as viable choice for their strategic or tactical investments, while planning for known limitations.

In January QPR Software released QPR Suite 2014, which includes the software tools for enterprise architecture, business process analysis and performance management, as well as a practical supporting methodology, the QPR Enterprise Architecture based operational Development Mode.
