INTEGIC AND CORTICON ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC ALLIANCE PROVIDING BUSINESS PROCESS SOLUTIONS
CHANTILLY, VA
and SAN MATEO, CA., December 13, 2004—Integic Corporation,
a leading provider of business process management solutions and
Corticon™ Technologies, a leading provider of business rules
management systems, today announced an alliance to offer an integrated
solution to customers' business process requirements. Customers seeking
enterprise solutions will now be able to take advantage of Integic's
e.POWER product to manage documents, records, and processes while
utilizing Corticon's product to manage complex business rules for
key portions of the process. e.POWER "Intelligent Agents"
will provide just-in-time integration for key business users, allowing
them to automatically access and apply business rules.
"There are significant financial benefits to externalizing rules for power users and developers without the normal overhead associated with program changes. However, there are also strategic advantages to ensuring that these changes are managed, tested and coordinated by augmenting rule technologies beyond business rule engines," according to Jim Sinur, vice president and distinguished analyst at the Gartner Group and a principal author of both the Business Process Management and Business Rules Engine Magic Quadrants*.
Mark Scheffel, vice president at Integic responsible for the e.POWER suite, is very pleased to be able to offer this augmented solution. "Corticon provides e.POWER with a more robust solution for complex rules modeling and creation including the advanced capability to test and manage rules. e.POWER decision tasks and Intelligent Agents provide basic rules capability, but now with Corticon's integrated product we can provide the ambiguity and completeness testing needed to insure that involved decisions function as intended. As business and government are forced to become more agile in an environment of escalating complexity, we see Corticon user-friendly products playing an increasing role in our solutions."
"We are very happy to have Integic make our capability available to its customers," said Dr. Mark Allen, founder and CEO at Corticon. "Integic's dominant position in the healthcare and pharmaceutical verticals and its reputation as a leading supplier of business process to the government provide great channels for Corticon."
