“Economic pressures mean that organisations need to be more agile than ever before,” says Neil Thomson, Chief Technology Officer of Microgen. “Waiting weeks for a single change to a business process can lead to a loss of revenue and the failure to capitalise on market opportunities. Microgen Aptitude enables IT and business users to work together in order to optimise the performance of business processes and ensure that they are driving operational efficiency.”

“A current trend is for IT to empower business analysts to write their own business rules,” says Ron Powell, Cofounder and Editorial Director of the Business Intelligence Network. “Microgen Aptitude models business processes, builds applications and is integrated to get the application to production faster in a language the business user speaks.”
