Active Endpoints, Inc., has announced that despite tough economic conditions its ActiveVOS business process management suite (BPMS) continued to grow rapidly in Q1 of 2009 by acquiring new customers and expanding ActiveVOS deployments in existing customers. This success is due in part to Active Endpoints' unique business model, which allows prospective customers to download ActiveVOS, try it themselves in a fully supported environment and know upfront what the costs for licenses, support and maintenance will be. This approach to the growing BPM marketplace has matched up perfectly with today's technology buyers, who demand immediate return on investment and value for money in software expenditures. Active Endpoints has also continued to innovate in its core technology, releasing ActiveVOS 6.1 in March, 2009 with over a dozen new features for business analysts, developers, IT managers and end users.

ActiveVOS new product sales grew 276% in Q1 of 2009 compared to Q1 of 2008. Product revenue grew nearly 20% in Q1 2009 over Q4 2008, a remarkable result given the robust growth ActiveVOS experienced in Q4 of 2008. Both figures document the growth in ActiveVOS product licenses excluding professional services, a tough but important measure of real product adoption. Clearly, companies around the world are seeking BPM systems that offer integrated functionality, ease of use, rigorous standards compliance and affordable pricing. As a result, ActiveVOS has emerged as the savvy BPM buyer's BPMS of choice.

In Q1 of 2009, customers acquiring ActiveVOS for the first time included Volksbank Hungary Private Ltd., US mobile and cable music provider Music Choice and UK insurer Amlin Insurance. Customers who expanded deployments of ActiveVOS in Q1 2009 included Swiss insurance company Die Mobiliar, AAPT, the Australian telecommunications subsidiary of New Zealand Telecom and AXA, a global insurer. A growing community of ActiveVOS partners, including Dr. Karb GmbH in Germany and Idea Port Riga AS in Latvia, also contributed to the worldwide success of ActiveVOS in Q1.

ActiveVOS allows developers, business analysts, operations staff and managers to model, develop, test, deploy, and manage a new generation of 100% standards-based BPM applications affordably and quickly. In contrast to the costly, stitched-together-through-acquisition approaches of other vendors, ActiveVOS is complete. ActiveVOS is easy to learn and can be rapidly deployed.
