Mountain View, CA - April 28, 2008 - Ascentn Corporation, a leading provider of .NET-based Business Process Management System (BPMS) solutions, today announced that it has been positioned as a “Strong Performer” by Forrester Research in the “The Forrester Wave: Human-Centric BPM for Microsoft Platforms, Q4 2007” report. The Forrester Wave report includes an exclusive group of eight leading human-centric Business Process Management vendors and applies some 150 high-level criteria to conduct product evaluations.

According to Forrester, “Part of the BPM promise is the ability to actively manage work. Make sure your suite includes robust tools for reassigning work among workers and even among processes. Perhaps more importantly, the ability to change process models at runtime is crucial.” Ascentn has devoted significant R&D in this area and now features exceptional runtime control functionality such as Partial Rework, Reroutes, Task Reassignments, Rollback, Adding Steps, Adding Participants, Changing Process Data, and Skipping Steps. Forrester compliments Ascentn in the report in this regard by saying Ascentn “… has been able to create one of the best environments for managing and modifying running processes, making AgilePoint an appropriate name for its product.”
