ActionBase Announces a New Version of ActionBase for Office

Tel Aviv, Israel - June 2nd, 2008:  ActionBase, a leading provider of collaborative human process management systems, has announced a new version of ActionBase for Office.
ActionBase for Office is a Microsoft Office based human process management system. This new version of ActionBase (Version 5.6) provides superior capabilities for efficient management of multi part human oriented processes that exists in any organization. Such processes are usually managed by using e-mail to exchange the documents and therefore cause major email and information overload issues.

ActionBase is offering a simple yet comprehensive solution for managing all those human interactions while providing process owners with full visibility and control over the process and subsequent processes.
“The entire solution is integrated into Outlook email and Word documents, so users enjoy a familiar and friendly working environment while having better managerial control and follow up capabilities over their professional domains”, says Eyal Maor, CEO of ActionBase. “We have been working closely with our customers to ensure this version of ActionBase supports such complex processes. We see customers engage in a variety of challenging processes to ensure compliance and get a full audit trail of various types of processes. ActionBase simplifies and tracks to completion the creation and management of human processes such as board of director’s decisions, internal control findings and recommendations, compliance issues, suspected fraudulent events, as well as assisting in more traditional project management in IT or collaborative team work. We have recently gained increased momentum and interest from global players specifically since we address the challenge of managing human processes which are complementary to traditional Business Process Management (BPM) added Maor”.

“BPM projects are all about modeling and automating processes between applications and systems. While this may be true in many processes, when it comes to human work it is usually the other way around. Human work is tacit by nature and therefore changes very rapidly. ActionBase provides managers and process owners with the ability to define the process, engage and collaborate with others towards successful implementation. The process flow is automatically dictated by a system – it is governed by people who can dynamically change the processes, define alternative next steps and allow peers to report back any progress achieved. We believe the process is all about people” says Ayal Steiner, ActionBase’s Dir of Product Management.”
