New partner for Procession

David Chassels CEO of Procession has announced that he and Tim Bovy, CEO of Digital Document UK have reached agreement that d2uk is to become a Procession partner. This formalises a relationship that has evolved over recent months, with the two organisations working together looking at compliance issues at some of d2uk customers.

They are using Procession’s Task Orientated Application (TOA) - a paradigm shift in business software and the latest revolutionary technology to come from a British company. TOA is being explained by the software’s champion, Chassels, at the C-View Madrid Conference, being held at The Park Hyatt, Madrid on 16th and 17th May.

Chassels presentation outlines Procession’s new approach to building business software that addresses one of the biggest issues of the gap between IT and business. According to Chassels: “TOA is a generic application that removes the interpretation gap between the business and IT functions, allowing business ‘knowledge’ to be digitised to provide business control, agility and competitive advantage.”

Chassels added: “Working with partners such as d2uk illustrates that delivering business solutions is about knowledge and no longer about technology.”

Tim Bovy commented: “Our customers include demanding multi-national corporations that look to us for the rapid design and implementation of strategic knowledge management applications. Procession’s TOA enables us to move from specification through to complete testing and roll-out of complex, business-critical applications within three months, at a fraction of the cost of our competitors.”

According to Chassels: “Procession’s technology has been some years ahead of its time, with Microsoft, IBM and SAP only now beginning to recognise the need for human interaction as the key driver for next generation software - with many others, such as Oracle and SUN, not yet at that stage.

”So it’s unsurprising that the larger international consultancies, who often depend on these large suppliers, are being slow of the mark while, with a more focused TOA-based approach, suppliers with direct relationships are spotting opportunities to take their existing relationships to a new level.”

“It’s encouraging that buyers are recognising that projects are now smaller and more focused on people and their processes,” agreed Bovy.

Mark Smith, CEO of Ventana Research, commented: “Moving to process-centric architectures should be the top priority for business and IT. Organisations which do not strategically shift to this approach will have increased costs and take the risk of not achieving their performance targets."

This exactly what the new partnership between Procession and d2uk aims to encourage and implement.
