HELSINKI, Finland, August 27 /PRNewswire/ --     QPR Software Plc today released the latest version of its Performance and
Process Management software QPR ScoreCard 7.6 and QPR ProcessGuide 7.6
respectively. The company's unique offering helps companies optimize resource
allocation by aligning operational processes with strategy and facilitating
continuous performance improvement. The new releases provide process modelers
with support for BPMN and BPEL standards, improved usability, and treat them
with a clearer, more complete view of their organization's performance.

The new versions feature an improved Graphical User Interface and the
ability to create modeling notation templates, which allow users to design
process models easier and more effectively. Dashboards and strategy maps can
now be enriched graphically with historic performance information, making
them more explanatory without having to drill down, while improved
benchmarking and the addition of scatter plot graphs provide users with more
powerful analysis functionality. In total, these new releases feature over
220 new improvements and make QPR 7.6 for Microsoft Windows Vista(TM)
compatible. QPR ProcessGuide 7.6 is also certified for Microsoft Windows
Vista(TM).

"Allowing our customers to design detailed processes in the standard
BPMN-notation and enabling the automatic execution of those processes via
BPEL standard are important steps on our development roadmap towards
supporting the full Business Process Management lifecycle," Tony Virtanen,
Vice President, Products, Research & Care for QPR Software commented. "We see
Performance Management as an essential part of managing business processes
and with QPR 7.6 version we provide organizations with a stronger solution
for managing both, and for making sure they are, and remain in sync."

"QPR provides effective tools not only for strategy management but also
for the design, execution, measurement and control of the core business
processes that manage resources," according to Colin Snow, Vice President and
Research Director at Ventana Research. "The integration of business process
management technology with performance management technology is a must for
companies that desire performance alignment," he continued.
