HandySoft and Hyfinity Announce Strategic Partnership to Design and Deploy Process-Driven Rich Internet Applications

HandySoft, a global leader in business process management (BPM) software and solutions, and Hyfinity, an independent software vendor (ISV) providing Enterprise Web 2.0 and SOA application development tools, have announced a strategic partnership to provide a suite of process-driven, Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) and eForms development products.

Forrester Research found that “replacing client-server applications, developing information workplaces with complex workflows and visualization, and making core applications location and device independent have all fueled RIA adoption at the enterprise level…Enterprises will not be able to stand on the sidelines while competitors take advantage of all that RIAs have to offer” (Inquiry Spotlight: Rich Internet Applications, Q32008, Forrester Research, Inc., Oct 28, 2008).

Says Jason Bloomberg of Zapthink, “Model-driven, declarative, Service-oriented composite application creation is becoming the gold standard for application tooling for enterprises who are implementing SOA. Correspondingly, RIAs that leverage rich user interface technologies like Ajax have become their own gold standard for user interface development.”

Adds Caffrey Lee, VP of R&D at HandySoft, “We have always been market-driven. Back 10-years ago BizFlow was the first BPM Suite to combine forms development with process modeling and rules management to help customers replicate the look and feel of documents and forms within electronic workflows. The market today wants to replicate the desktop experience into the Web environment. By combining process design and execution in BizFlow with the RIA capabilities of Hyfinity’s MVC WebMaker customers will be able to create 21st century composite applications and Mash-ups that result in fast, flexible, anytime applications for streamlining structured and unstructured business processes.”

Steve Bailey, Co-Founder of Hyfinity, shares, “people want 24/7 access to business information. The combination of MVC WebMaker and BizFlow into an integrated solution will enable organizations to extend service- and transaction-oriented processes via Web applications that ultimately improve service, sales and productivity. We are excited by our OEM partnership with Handysoft that further extends our vision of enabling ‘Designer’ operated assembly of composite, rich Ajax-based web applications that power 24/7 Business Process Management (BPM) interactions. We are excited to be working with HandySoft to meet the strong demand 24/7 business user applications.”

Handysoft will offer BizFlow BPMS with MVC WebMaker fully integrated in its upcoming release.
