COLUMBIA, MD – February 27, 2006 – Metastorm, a leading provider of Business Process Management (BPM) software for modeling, automating, integrating, and improving both human and system-based processes today announced it has been selected as one of KMWorld Magazine’s “100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge Management” for the third year in a row. Compiled through discussions with KM practitioners, theorists, vendors, customers, analysts and editors, KMWorld assembled the list of organizations leading the way in the knowledge economy to generate interest in and discussion about knowledge management tools and services.

“The list is conceived as a way to recognize some of the organizations leading the way in the knowledge economy. It is designed to encourage a broader discussion of KM,” stated Hugh McKellar, Editor-in-Chief of KMWorld. “Criteria for inclusion differ, of course, as do the technologies recognized, but all companies share the following: each has helped to create a market, redefine one or enhance one, and all of them demonstrate the capacity for customer-driven agile innovation. Compilation of the list is a year-long, collaborative but informal process with vendors, analysts and colleagues.”

As the leading information provider serving the Knowledge, Document and Content Management systems market, KMWorld informs more than 50,000 subscribers about the components, processes - and subsequent success stories - that together offer solutions for improving business performance. KMWorld is a publishing unit of Information Today, Inc.
