Questetraは9月1日、新サービス「Questetra BPM Suite SaaS Edition」(日本語サービス)を開始しました。 併せて、従来ダウンロード製品を「Questetra BPM Suite Download Edition」と改称します。
無償ワークフロー/BPMソフトの「Questetra BPM Suite Download Edition」は、2009年1月の発表後6か月間で世界160の国と地域から計6000ダウンロードされたWebアプリケーションです。現在、京都大学様の問い合わせ申請処理をはじめとして、世界中のビジネスプロセス管理(BPM)活動に利用されています。
新サービス「Questetra BPM Suite SaaS Edition」は、“クラウドコンピューティング推進企業様”、“ソフトウェアのインストール権限のない部署”、“20名程度の小規模組織” などでの BPM活動に寄与するものと考えています(1ユーザあたり月額1000円)。今後順次、他言語展開する予定です。
Questetra starts free download distribution of BPM software “Questetra BPM Suite” on January 20th, 2009.
BPM software “Questetra BPM Suite” enables:
a process owner to draw and design a business diagram. (Modeling function)
every participant of a business process to execute the business according to the designed business diagram. (Operating function)
Each task is represented by “a rounded rectangle” in a business diagram, and the order of the tasks and the split are expressed by connections of arrows (Sequence flow). “Questetra BPM Suite” does not require knowledge of programming at all. It is software that widely supports BPM cycles in companies.
Processes targeted by “Questetra BPM Suite” are “Processes composed by tasks that human participants operate.” This sort of software, which manages human tasks and executes work allocation to human participants, is called “Human-Centric BPM software.”
Limitation of Free Edition
“Questetra BPM Suite” can be used free of charge with no limitations of time or the number of users, however, the maximum number of simultaneous jobs is limited “10”. You need to separately buy an “Extension Key” to lift this limitation and use our product on a large scale. (Basically credit card payment is required).
