Tokyo, January 4th 2008. BPM vendor KAISHA-Tec, announced today its new 3-tier concept for its standards based BPM platform - ActiveModeler Avantage Foundation for .Net 3.0.

The Windows based Avantage foundation for .Net 3.0 is an extensible plugin-based architecture for process modeling and workflow automation.

From today, the Foundation will be be available in 3 variations: Evaluation, Commercial and Home use. The Evaluation version will be be fully functional to allow for a "try before you buy" experience.   

All plugins will be available in very attractively priced bundles to make it easy for people to get started with the software. 

The Commercial version will also include plugins to both add metrics and to share a process model between users.

We feel our new 3-tier Foundation will better support such companies. We are pleased to make the Foundation free for non-commercial users and of course for evaluation".
