HandySoft Corporation, a provider of business process management (BPM) software, recently announced a series of three new business wins among federal government agencies. With most government procedures driven by laws and regulations, government agencies are looking for process-based technology solutions to standardize processes and improve operations. As a result, federal government agencies consider BizFlow, HandySoft's award-winning BPM platform, as a solution for improving performance while following regulations.

"The federal government's e-Gov initiatives are about going beyond the first steps in information access to encourage and facilitate interagency IT programs that eliminate redundancies, decrease paperwork, increase productivity and save money, all while improving customer service," said Daryn Walters, vice president of global marketing and strategy at HandySoft. "That's why we believe that BPM technology, such as HandySoft's BizFlow, is critical to successful e-government initiatives, as technology must not only provide easier access to government information, but it must automate critical government processes and institutionalize best practices across government agencies to meet its objective."

A recent report issued by the e-Government Program Office's Chief Information Officer states, "Expanding Electronic Government (e-Gov) is one of the five key elements in the President's management agenda." There are a total of 25 initiatives aimed at significantly improving productivity and performance improvement across the federal government. In addition, the study indicated that a government task force has been identified and empowered with automating processes to reduce costs internally within the federal government, then disseminating best practices across agencies.
