DALLAS, TX  – August 16, 2010 – BPM Wave AG, a world class provider of Enterprise Architecture (EA), Business Process Management (BPM), Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Enterprise Governance solutions and Hyperion Global Partners, a leading provider of business performance improvement and business automation services for the legal profession, have agreed to collaborate on the development of a series of next generation business process improvement solutions. Under this collaboration, BPM Wave will develop and license a portfolio of law firm process automation applications leveraged on Hyperion’s expertise and best practices in law firm business operations, including Workflow Analysis and Design, Risk Management, IP Management, and Case Management initiatives. With Hyperion’s support and direction, BPM Wave is developing automation solutions for key law firm Enterprise processes, including New Matter Intake, Check and Trust check requests, Expense Reimbursement, Invoice to Payment, New Hire Intake and Employee On-boarding. These processes have been designed to provide a higher level of functional impact than previous processes, with an “out of the box” proprietary Delegation of Authority platform to provide rapid deployment options. BPM Wave will offer these solutions at price points markedly lower than legacy applications.

 

“North American law firms  have pioneered the adoption of process automation solutions for many years now, yet, there is an alarming shortage of packaged process alternatives to help support today’s firms, “stated Garvin Fouts, Managing Director of Hyperion Global Partners’ Workflow Automation Practice.  “To add to the frustration, traditional processes have required high levels of development and customization to make them usable by the individual firm and long implementation timelines that are costly and frustrating.  We’re working closely with  BPM Wave to radically improve  that paradigm with a new portfolio of processes that are highly developed, based on industry best practices and legal process thought leadership, address the common needs of the legal sector, offer more functional utility and can be rolled out rapidly and cost effectively”

 

“Hyperion offers best-in-class subject matter domain expertise for understanding the unique and compliance heavy operational flows within the Global Legal Landscape, “ stated Adela Cornescu, CEO of BPM Wave AG. “By combining their expertise with our award winning Business Analysis, Enterprise Architecture and BPM Development capabilities, we believe we can provide a unique set of process optimization solutions and customer value previously unavailable in this market.”  

 

BPM Wave will be releasing Check Request and Trust Check Request processes on August 20 in time to demonstrate at the 2010 ILTA Annual Conference in Las Vegas, NV.  Subsequent processes for Expense Reimbursement, Authorization to Spend and Invoice Approval are projected for release in Q4 2010.
