Partners Look to Improve Customer Business Results with the Addition of iGrafx Software

Tualatin , Ore . - August 16, 2005 - iGrafx®, a leading provider of Business Process Analysis (BPA) solutions, announced that the number of consulting and training companies in the iGrafx Partner Program doubled since the beginning of 2005. With new partners joining from the US , Canada , Australia , Spain , Germany , France , Jordan , and India ; the word about how iGrafx solutions accelerate process excellence is being spread across the globe.

Leading training and consulting companies know that having a comprehensive set of tools that are easy to use, that compliment their training, and can be left behind for customer's use is critical to support their client's successful pursuit of process excellence. iGrafx helps them meet these requirements by delivering feature rich, easy-to-use software tools that support process improvement initiatives from Lean and Six Sigma to compliance, risk management and Business Process Management.

"The iGrafx software has become an invaluable aid during the assessment phase with our clients," said Jon Miller, President of Gemba Research, one of the new iGrafx partners. "A big part of Lean is visualization; being able to show customers where they can make improvements to their processes is critical. iGrafx allows us to quickly take a 20 foot hand drawn map and convert it to an electronic document to leave with our customers. This enables them to demonstrate the impact that Lean can make to improve their business results. Since iGrafx is an easy-to-use tool for mapping, modeling and analysis, it is also a perfect solution to deliver our customers as they work to become self-sufficient in their Lean transformation. With iGrafx software, we are providing greater value to our clients and greater return on their investment."

Gemba Research is not alone in understanding the added value iGrafx software can deliver to their customers. In 2005, 25 new partners added iGrafx to their toolkit including; Additive GmbH , Argent Global Services, Avanquest Iberica, S.L ., Brain Trust CS, Brodem Consulting, Conceptum, Constructive Consulting GmbH , ETI Group, Dr. Roubanis Associates, Hawaii Business Consulting, Institut Renault , Integreo, K-Ware Deutschland, LAFI - La Solution Integrale, Lean Management Solutions, Lean Enterprise Institute, MicroDynamics, Mountainview, ProServ, Siqueira Campos, Six Sigma Alchemy, TDMS, VR DataSystems and Y-Change.
