While I was preparing the report for our Q1 activities in EMEA and APAC, I realized that a lot happened in the course of the last 3 months. So, I wanted to take a moment and highlight some of the key events for our Intalio community.

Trainings
Since January, we trained 44 new users on Intalio|BPMS. What is even more astounding is that all of our scheduled training sessions are still fully booked. What we have been doing in our training sessions has proved to be a very efficient way to get people understanding our concepts and our platform.

Customers
We recently signed 4 new customers:

• The City of Den Haag (in the Netherlands) will be evaluating the product with our support. They are working on a prototype that will help manage some online services for their citizen. The project should be completed by September.
• Eurobank EFG is evaluating Intalio|BPMS Enterprise Edition over the next 3 months in order to determine how it can be best used in building core processes. "We selected to run a Proof of Concept with Intalio since we consider its BPMS offering to be the only credible open source alternative that features such a high level of adherence to standards for process design, deployment and execution." mentioned Livas Dimitrios, Director of Multichannel Applications & Integration Technologies.
• Thames Valley University is using our product for a Research and Development project that aims at improving the University teaching program definition.
• SmartInternet in Australia. This one is the first of what I am sure will be a long list of customers signed by our Platinum partner OpenSoft.

Partners
We continue to expand our partner network in China and the addition of Altendis in France and . More importantly, 2 of our good partners (Shimo IT and Wego) have decided to renew their subscription as they see great potential this year.

Regional Projects
Finally, it’s worth noting that we are up and running with training and offices in Asia. We have already had 2 training sessions and met several interesting people (hint hint, ahem partners, cough customers). The TAS3 project in Europe is now officially started and Alex Boisvert (Product Development Director for Intalio|Server) will meet the key technical resources on April 15th to define our scope of work.

In all these different customer wins, BAM was a key component to securing the customers.

With the launch of the Enterprise Edition I expect Q2 to be even more interesting.
