History
[edit]PNMsoft was founded in 1996 by CEO Gal Horvitz, an Israeli entrepreneur and Technion (Israel Institute of Technology) graduate.[1] Soon after two more Technion graduates, Adi Hofstein and Sagiv Ben Shaul, joined as co-founders.[2][3]
In 2007, after a US$3.3 million investment from Goldrock Capital, the company opened headquarters in London UK, and expanded its global operations.[4] By 2016, the company had offices in the US, UK, Israel and Portugal.
In August 2016, PNMsoft was acquired by Genpact, and continued to focus on BPM.[5]
Product
[edit]PNMsoft focused on BPM software, primarily targeting midsize to large organizations and Microsoft customers.[6]
Sequence was PNMsoft's BPMS (Business Process Management Software). Its development environment provided an environment for designing forms, tasks, messages, system integration, and flow connections. Sequence processes are, by default, operated from within a Microsoft SharePoint site. Sequence supported integration with Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services to enable managers to analyse performance and determine trends relating to KPIs and SLAs. In addition to integrating with Microsoft Office, SharePoint, and Dynamics products, it could be integrated with external systems through protocols such as web services, WCF. It also enabled connection to enterprise applications such as SAP and Oracle.[7] The product's architecture enables IT personnel to make changes to processes without taking them offline.[8]
The end-user facing product was named Flowtime and ran on JavaScript-enabled web browsers. The Administration client, also web-based, was named Sequence.
