Metastorm BPM® Successfully Deployed by Malaysian Credit Counseling and Debt Management Agency

Metastorm Partner Datamation Selected as Technology Enabler for AKPK

BALTIMORE, MD – October 28, 2008 – Metastorm, a leading provider of Business Process Management (BPM), Business Process Analysis (BPA), and Enterprise Architecture (EA) software for aligning strategy with execution, today announced that Agensi Kaunseling Dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK), a credit counseling and debt management agency set up by the Central Bank of Malaysia in April 2006 to provide financial counseling and debt management services to the Malaysian public, is successfully using the Metastorm BPM software suite through its partner, Datamation.

AKPK selected Datamation to deploy an enterprise-wide solution to improve the processes that run the daily operations of its counseling and debt management services. Datamation developed AKPK’s Credit Counseling & Debt Management System (CCDMS) based on best of breed technologies, including Metastorm BPM, to centralize, consolidate and automate all of the company’s business processes.

Encik Mohamed Akwal Sultan, CEO of AKPK said, “The best of breed solutions involved in this project, namely ReadSoft, Metastorm and Computhink ViewWise, had all the functionalities required and met the company’s compatibility requirements, offering an open architecture solution with minimal IT resources. We wanted to integrate a solution with proven results, and Datamation offered the approach we were seeking – providing us with what we wanted to work with as our operation grew.”

From July 2006 to June 2007, AKPK’s counseling and financial management processes were handled manually through a set of well defined standard operating procedures. During this period, AKPK was scouting for a BPM engine that was suitable for its use as the AKPK management team knew automation was key to optimizing the process by enabling rapid enrollment processing and delivering more efficient services to an increasing number of applicants.

“By integrating Metastorm and other best of breed technologies, we believe that the new solution built by Datamation will help AKPK increase its ability to better manage financial processes and more quickly respond to customers,” said Robin Martin, executive vice president of International Operations for Metastorm. “Organizations are increasingly realizing that by applying BPM software to critical processes, they can create the efficiency and agility needed to support growth – and AKPK has clearly demonstrated its ability to leverage BPM for strategic advantage.”
