December 15, 2002

Vertscape, the leading international provider of enterprise eBusiness software has recently announced the launch of its new Business Process Automation Product known as Vertscape eWorkflow, which has been deployed on Microsoft’s .Net platform. Leveraging component-based Web Services, XML and SOAP technologies, the new system can be easily configured and integrated to any complex business process to achieve complete automation.

“The launch of the Workflow Web Service in the region, highlights Vertscape’s growth since its inception,” said Ashok Sharma, Manager Emerging Enterprises, Middle East, Microsoft. “By leveraging the unique functionality of Vertscape eWorkflow Applications on Microsoft .Net platform, Vertscape enables organizations to quickly deploy their enhanced business solutions at the low total cost of ownership. Through market feedback, Vertscape has vastly enhanced its wide range of integrated applications.”

“Today, Vertscape is a leading pioneer in delivering innovative ebusiness solutions in the Middle East. We are confident that this newly launched product will further enhance the growth of Vertscape’s operations in the region and beyond. We value our association with Vertscape,” he added.

“Vertscape eWorkflow draws on the company’s extensive expertise of Web Service technologies to offer versatile tools for business automation in any organization,” said Chirag Patel, Partner and Director of Products and Strategy, Vertscape. “Deployed on Microsoft’s .Net platform, our Workflow Web Service offers a simplified and easy-to-use solution to the common problem faced by organizations as they grapple with the task of keeping track of what is going on at different levels once the business process has been set in motion.”

The system has a back-end administration manager that enables the organization to assign workflow routing process, modify workflow, define roles and workflow as per business rules, assign workflow to category of processes, configure business intelligence and enable event based routing procedures.”

“Workflow has become a key driver when it comes to automation of a business process in which documents, information or tasks are passed from one participant to another for action according to a set of procedural rules,” said Patel. “Vertscape eWorkflow solution ensures that work does not get misplaced or unduly stalled, leaving managers to focus on key business issues such as individual performance and optimal procedures rather than routine assignment of tasks.”

“The Vertscape Workflow solution brings new efficiency in areas of customer complaints, expense reporting, document reviews, leave approvals, purchase orders, employee performance reviews, time sheets, loan approvals and claims processing. These solutions are designed to make a real difference to a company’s performance and bottom-line,” Patel added. The applications are all delivered on an Internet platform so they can be accessed through a standard browser on any device, including PDAs or a Tablet PC. The product’s thin-client architecture delivers significant business benefits to all sized companies, such as rapid return on investment and low cost of ownership.

“Vertscape’s workflow solutions are addressed in various industries such as banking, insurance, telecoms, trading and distribution, freight and logistics and manufacturing. It allows transfer of control of one user’s role to another user to permit realistic employee transfers and resignations, thus enabling processes to be changed even while they are in progress,” explained Patel. “All the open tasks performed by the old user are transferred to the new user to provide smooth transition without disruption of any kind. Further, our system allows event-based routing to enable a workflow step to automatically route a process to its next step when a user does not act within a designated time frame.”

Other important benefits offered by Vertscape eWorkflow are workflow tracking for viewing the status of a particular action or incident; document attachment and management functions; audit trail reporting providing complete history of information flow; signature support within each workflow step to allow users to authorize via user name and password and dashboard view of workflow within each business process.

Vertscape has demonstrated a pioneering spirit in Web Services Integration through its XeRM e-Business suite that dramatically simplifies and speeds up Enterprise Application Integration, by extending legacy systems to the web for greater collaboration and increased functionality without disrupting existing legacy systems.
