SUNNYVALE, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 21, 2009 -- Fujitsu today announced that it has been positioned as a "Champion" in a January 2009 BPMS Market Update report published by Bloor Research. According to the report "Champions" offer "well-grounded tools with good support for both human and systems oriented processes."

In a recent article(1) based on the research, Analyst Simon Holloway noted, "Fujitsu Interstage(R) Business Process Manager is, in Bloor's view, one of the best BPMS products on the market at present. Much thought and effort has gone into producing a well-rounded product which not only supports the key components of BPMS v1 (development environment, process and rules run-time engines, integration capabilities, form and report design, and Analytics), but also some of the key BPMS v2 capabilities including SaaS and knowledge intensive processes support."

Holloway cited the Fujitsu Automated Business Process Discovery & Visualization Service as one of the "big differentiators of the Fujitsu approach." Launched in April, the service is designed to address the biggest challenges faced by companies embarking on a process improvement and governance initiative today -- the exposure to compliance failure, fraud, and other legal and efficiency issues lying hidden in their operational workflows. The offering eliminates months of time and labor-intensive exploration and lets organizations immediately discover current process quickly -- information that often remains completely invisible. According to Holloway, "It is a tool I wished I had had when I was a practicing process analyst -- it is that good!"

Fujitsu continues to see increasing demand for its Interstage Suite, one of the world's broadest lines of application infrastructure software products. Sales for the Fujitsu Interstage Suite grew in FY 2007 with the company recording a 92 percent increase in sales in the North American and European markets combined during this period.
