Partnership with ETH Entrepreneur Club – Kick-off for an AI-based collaborative business process management environment
Ettlingen, 15/08/2024 – The ETH Entrepreneur Club is a student initiative at ETH Zurich with the vision of promoting the next generation of entrepreneurs and supporting them in achieving their dreams. With the partnership of the ETH Entrepreneur Club, PROMATIS – specialist for intelligent business processes and Oracle digitization solutions – is actively committed to supporting Swiss start-ups and growth companies and therefore supports spin-offs in their growth with the help of best-practice business process knowledge based on award-winning Horus products. This underlines the process innovator's commitment to its Swiss location and to strengthening the market.
The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich for short) is a technical and scientific university in Zurich and the eleventh best in the world. This is the conclusion reached by Times Higher Education (THE) in its world university ranking* for 2024, which compared 1,904 universities. ETH Zurich is not only committed to a breadth of expertise that enables new combinations of knowledge, but also promotes excellence in entrepreneurship through world-class research and education. It leads to groundbreaking new ventures that consolidate Switzerland's technological leadership. As part of this, the ETH Entrepreneur Club supports the next generation of entrepreneurs with inspiration, training and motivation. The club was founded in 2008 and has established itself as one of the most active and respected student clubs in Switzerland. As an important part of the entrepreneurial ecosystem at ETH Zurich and in Switzerland, the club has helped with the foundation of hundreds of successful start-ups, creating jobs and boosting the economy. To this end, the company is constantly on the lookout for joint partners who can successfully and profitably support the spin-offs with their products and services.
Together with leading research institutes, PROMATIS has been working for years on the development of methods, models and software tools that ensure improved user involvement in implementation projects through new forms of project communication and thus promote digital adoption. The current research focus is on the development of AI-based process management systems.
In the course of this, PROMATIS has developed business process reference models based on the cloud-based Horus Business Process Platform, which are used in Oracle digitization projects. Modules for Oracle Cloud Applications have been developed under the product label BP4Apps ('Business Processes for Oracle Cloud Applications'). As a natural consequence, PROMATIS has therefore put together a support package for the ETH Entrepreneur Club, which includes the latest developments in the field of artificial intelligence and provides helpful tools and proven process methodology for successful model-based business process management by strategic partner Horus.
“We are especially pleased to be part of this project and to support entrepreneurial growth in Switzerland together with our partner PROMATIS. Because Horus – the innovative software forge in the heart of Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion – is a leading provider of a professional collaborative business process management solution (Social BPM) and has been developing software and knowledge products for model-based BPM as the basis for successful corporate development since 2009,“ says Dr. Thomas Karle, COO of Horus software GmbH.
