Partner for Innovation

Horus Endeavor – Innovation Partnership and Technology Transfer

Professional business users appreciate Horus as a mighty but easy and smart to handle Business Process Engineering tool. Teachers and students appreciate freeware, simplicity and smooth exchange of models. In research, Horus convinces with its sophisticated architecture and unbeatable scalability as ideal platform and sometimes even as a catalyst for innovative software prototypes and services.

Horus Endeavor

These different views and usages of the products are both acknowledgement and challenge at the same time to Horus software GmbH; a challenge that the company can only encounter with strong partners at its side. Based here on, an innovation partnership has developed that forms the basis for one of the most innovative Business Process Engineering product lines in the market and in the future it will be a guarantor for fast implementation of product- and service-innovations in practice. And because the partners do not see the innovation as a flash in a pan but rather as an ongoing process, as investment into the future, they have declared the partnership under the name Endeavor.

The Innovation Partners

• Forschungszentrum Informatik Karlsruhe (FZI)
  Research Center for Informatics, Karlsruhe, Germany
  

  As an independent research center, the FZI offers companies and public institutions to develop innovations for the market, business organization and administration. Informatics as the key to new technologies is the pivot point in application research, development and technology transfer. The group around Prof. Dr. Andreas Oberweis und Dr. Marco Mevius deals with engineering-scientific methods and tools for design, development, evolution and migration of complex software systems. They offer comprehensive expertise for the design, analysis and controlling of business processes.

• Institute AIFB at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
  

  In research and education, the group of Prof. Dr. Andreas Oberweis has engaged themselves since many years with methods, procedure models and tools for Business Process Engineering and service-oriented workflow management, complex or new applications for economic information systems, as well as strategic informatics planning and organization.

• Database Group of the Westphalia Wilhelms University of Muenster, Germany

  The Database Group of the Westphalia Wilhelms University of Muenster (WWU) is under the direction of Prof. Dr. Gottfried Vossen. The group is part of one of the internationally leading institutes for business informatics. The aim of the group around Prof. Vossen is the further development of database-concepts regarding new applications in the ranges of e.g. internet, mobility, universal storage & access. The emphasis lies in research and on databases, home- and enterprise information systems, process- and knowledge modeling as well as eLearning.

• University of Applied Sciences Konstanz (HTWG), Germany

  Prof. Dr. Marco Mevius is the owner of the research-oriented W3 Professorship of Business Informatics with a focus on business process modeling and optimization at the Faculty of Computer Science at the HTWG Konstanz. In his research group extensive know-how and experiences in the areas of modeling and analysis of business processes as well as design of process systems are combined. The current research activities are in the fields of key indicator-based business process management, valuation of SOA, evolution of software-based business processes and development of sustainable information systems.
