PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwire - March 2, 2009) - TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ : TIBX ),
congratulates PruHealth, on winning the 2008 Gold Award in the Global
Awards for Excellence in BPM & Workflow for the MEA (Middle East and
Africa) region. PruHealth applied BPM software to improve the process for managing appointments with
partners, tracking usage, and preparing corporate invoices in addition to
automating the process for receiving, validating, reconciling, and routing
electronic claims for assessment.
"This award illustrates the global value we are delivering to our customers
and other stakeholders," said Paulo Dos Santos of PruHealth in accepting
the award. "We've been able to drive tangible, ongoing business value from
our operations, and leverage our SOA architecture to establish BPM as an
enterprise program."
The award judges focused on implementations that supported business
processes extending beyond corporate boundaries to assist customers,
suppliers and trading partners.
"PruHealth's leadership with TIBCO infrastructure software has clearly
improved and optimized its business operations. This award underscores that
success," said Ram Menon, executive vice president, worldwide marketing for
TIBCO. "PruHealth's award closely follows TIBCO's naming in the Leaders
quadrant in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Business Process Management
Suites, which I believe again demonstrates TIBCO's results-focused approach
to providing multiregional BPM solutions. In tough economic times it's
great to be recognized and see TIBCO's approach paying dividends for our
customers in a variety of industries worldwide."
The 2008 Gold Award in Global Awards for Excellence in BPM & Workflow
Program awards are sponsored by BPM Focus in association with the Workflow
Management Coalition (WfMC), and are given to companies who demonstrate
excellence in BPM and workflow.
