Adeptia provides enterprise software to easily and quickly automate business processes across supply chains using industry-specific standards. Adeptia's business process management (BPM) software allows customers to integrate disparate information sources, software applications and business users both within an enterprise and across customers, vendors and business partners. Moreover, Adeptia's technology allows customers to design, automate and improve workflows and thereby drive efficiencies.

Adeptia was founded in June 2000, with the aim of taking business process management and integration to a broader market, beyond the Fortune 1000. Adeptia makes this possible by offering an easy to use, quick to deploy, powerful, and cost effective solution.

Adeptia's technology has been deployed in business-critical environments by marquee customers such as SBC, Pepsi, General Motors, Meadowbrook Insurance, and Forsythe Technology.

Adeptia believes that the confluence of technologies, standards and trends presents a unique opportunity to enable mass adoption of wide-spread data and process connectivity across the value chain. We already observe manual processes and interventions giving way to automated, seamless information flows directly between software applications across suppliers, customers, vendors, partners and distributors.

Currently, a majority of the internet traffic is generated by web browsing activities of human users. Adeptia believes that in about 5 years (by 2009), the internet traffic patterns will shift completely such that the vast majority of the data traffic will be driven by application-to-application information exchange that is automatically initiated in companies connected to their supply chain partners. Business data will be seamlessly exchanged in a secure, automated way.

Adeptia enables the realization of this vision by allowing all companies - large and small - to benefit from the operational efficiencies made possible by business process management and integration with the value chain.

Adeptia wants to be the "FrontPage" of the business process integration market. FrontPage is a web-authoring program. It was introduced in 1995 and it revolutionized the adoption of the World Wide Web. Prior to FrontPage, creating web sites and publishing content on the web was an expensive, time-consuming task that required specialized skills. FrontPage changed all that by enabling a simple, point-and-click interface for creating web pages. Users did not need to know arcane HTML tags; they could use this wizard-driven tool to publish content on the web. As it became easier for companies and individuals to build their web-sites, there was more compelling content available on the web and the number of users sky-rocketed.

Adeptia seeks to offer a similar capability for the BPM market that would enable companies to easily, quickly and cost effectively deploy business process integration using its BPM technology.

By employing a wizard-drive, "configure, not code" approach, Adeptia eliminates complexity and thereby reduces business process integration costs, speeds deployment and accelerates ROI for its customers. Benefits of Adeptia's technology for its customers include:
