Aurea Software, a new intelligent business process management, application and data integration company, today announced the successful completion of its acquisition of four Progress Software businesses – Savvion, Sonic, Actional and DataXtend SI. With the closure of this transaction, Aurea Software has initiated its global high-touch sales, service and support operations for its customers of these products, and begins executing on its vision of creating a next-generation intelligent business process management system (iBPMS).

Aurea Software has over 1,500 customers worldwide, supported by a global team of 250 people. The company is headed by enterprise software industry veteran Scott Brighton. Brighton formerly served as President of Trilogy Enterprises.

“We are very pleased to have met this important first milestone and to formally launch company operations,” said Brighton. “An experienced and talented team from Progress forms the core of Aurea, and we have begun to add critical resources to drive customer impact in account management, development, support, and professional services.”

Aurea strategy focuses on setting industry-leading standards for customer service. “100% Customer Success – a top-down program that ensures customers achieve success based on mutually established and agreed-upon goals – is core to our operating philosophy,” said Brighton. “Aurea’s customers can expect a marked increase in the level of investment in and attention paid to them. We’ll be meeting with each and every customer over the first six months of the company’s formation.”

“The promise of intelligent business process, application, and data management – and the ability to provide real-time insights on complex business processes across the cloud, mobile, and social – is the most exciting idea to emerge in the business process management space since its inception,” said Brighton. “Savvion, Sonic, Actional, and DataXtend SI – each a powerful and market-leading product on its own – can provide customers game-changing capability when used together. With these technologies, Aurea will create a next-generation iBPMS – with a specific emphasis on enabling critical, high-value business processes in key vertical markets.”
