OPTO News Optio Unveils Next-Generation Business Process Management (BPM) Solution

ALPHARETTA, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Optio^® Software, Inc. (OTCBB:OPTO), a leading provider of solutions dedicated to optimizing inbound and outbound document processes, today announced availability of its new ProCentra Solution Suite, which accelerates, manages and controls the entire lifecycle of document-intensive business processes and resolves related issues.

Designed to optimize and improve specific business processes, such as maintenance/service contract renewal and invoice dispute resolution, ProCentra improves these types of processes with its configurable Process Accelerator.

ProCentra’s Process Accelerator includes pre-defined process/workflow maps, integration points, interactive forms, work queues, reports and activity-monitoring dashboards, which work together to enhance process visibility and reduce overall process costs and inefficiencies.

ProCentra’s innovative BPM solution takes full advantage of state-of-the-art Web services, enabling clients to improve business processes across their own organization and to securely extend and integrate the solution with other organizations’ systems, applications and services.

According to independent industry analyst, Bruce Silver, as quoted in InformationWeek’s March 2006 article, Five Reasons To Invest In Process Management, “BPM suites combine process modeling, execution and performance management in a coherent set of software tools linked by a coherent management philosophy. Because it's neither IT infrastructure nor an enterprise application, BPM is still not well-understood by IT. But the benefits are real, and you can't afford to ignore BPM.”

“ProCentra takes the power of Optio's Oracle-certified business process solutions to the next level. Our customers will now be able to manage any document-intensive process from beginning to end, monitor its efficiency and leverage their investment in enterprise systems, while proactively reducing cycle times and related costs,” said Steve Kaye, Optio’s senior vice president of marketing and product management.
