Singularity Launches 'Agile Process Management For Microsoft .NET'

London, 30 October 2008

Software vendor Singularity today claimed leadership in automating knowledge intensive business processes on the Microsoft platform with its latest product release.  Launching Release 3.7 of its Business Process Management (BPM) suite, headlined "Agile BPM for Microsoft .NET", the company showcased their integration to a range of Microsoft technologies including SharePoint, BizTalk Server and Dynamics CRM, showing how they can orchestrate these popular enterprise systems to support complex knowledge-intensive processes at high speed.

"We've been hailed by top analysts such as Gartner and Forrester as leaders in the area of knowledge centric processes and agile, high-speed solution delivery", said Paul Moorhead, Product Manager at Singularity.  "In this release we're bringing that leading edge capability to Microsoft-based enterprises, by integrating with the most popular Microsoft server technologies.  With the massive popularity of Microsoft SharePoint Server in particular, this release provides an entry point for a huge market segment to begin automating their key knowledge processes without having to invest in new content management or CRM systems".

Between 25% and 40% of the workforce in the US and Europe are classified as knowledge workers today, and this proportion is forecast to increase.  Knowledge workers also have the greatest influence on the success and growth of the organizations they work for.  But the processes they work with are badly supported by technology, since most automation has focused on simpler operational and administrative processes.  Singularity has focused its product on making knowledge workers more effective in their work by providing functionality known as 'case management'.  Combined with the company's proprietary high-speed 'agile delivery' methodology, Singularity is able to automate complex knowledge-intensive case management processes in 90 days or less.

"We've developed world-class expertise delivering case management projects on the Microsoft platform", said Michael White, Marketing Manager for Singularity. "This release of the Singularity Process Platform is the fruit of that experience. Together with our Agile delivery methodology, we provide an unbeatable combination for customers using the Microsoft platform who need to streamline knowledge intensive processes and don't want to spend years doing it".

Features showcased at the product launch included:

• Agile BPM for Microsoft .NET – Singularity demonstrated their deep two-way integration to Microsoft SharePoint Server, Exchange Server, BizTalk Server 2006 R2, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Office Communications Server, Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows Communication Foundation.  The product can orchestrate even the most complex long-lived processes running across a mixture of Microsoft and non-Microsoft systems, storing and retrieving data and content across multiple SharePoint Server and SQL Server database installations, and enabling SharePoint to trigger actions on Singularity's BPM server.
• Knowledge Centric Processes and Case Management – The company highlighted the enhanced support for automating knowledge worker processes.  Features demonstrated included the dynamic creation of processes in response to a human decision during a complex process; and the ability to model and measure staff competencies as workers become more proficient on a particular knowledge process over time; and the ability to manually reroute automated workflow task allocations based on a human manager's judgement and knowledge.
• Rapid Delivery Methodology – Singularity highlighted a suite of major enhancements made in this release to further accelerate the speed at which customers can model, prototype and deploy working solutions with little or no software coding required.  Features include integrated AJAX technology, faster automated user interface generation and a raft of new pre-built integrations to a range of popular technologies such as SharePoint to drive the speed of solution implementation.
