Demand for Persona-Based Process and Document Management Drove Q3 Growth
DALLAS – FEBRUARY 23, 2010 – Global 360, a leading provider of Process and Document Management solutions, reported strong results for its fiscal third quarter ended December 31, 2009, compared to the same quarter a year ago, led by a 25 percent year-over-year increase in revenue from its strategic Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) business.
Global 360 President and CEO David Mitchell attributed the company’s success to its recent launch of persona-based, out-of-the-box user applications. “Because we involve process participants in the design and development of process improvements, we deliver systems that uniquely address the way that work actually gets done. The result is an improved process that people actually use and help promote throughout the enterprise. This “design-for-people” approach was the driving factor in the addition of five significant new account wins as we expanded our global presence during the quarter. We believe this approach, along with our focus on SharePoint-based process solutions, positions us strongly for the future.”
