Axway ProcessManager
leverages a
collaborative
service-oriented
architecture to separate
business logic from
technical logic, making
process changes easier
to implement and keeping
information systems
agile and aligned.
ProcessManager enables
your line-of-business
managers to project and
quickly respond to
changing business
conditions by modeling
processes that catch
events and trigger
activities, such as
application business
services and
collaboration with
business partners.
ProcessManager’s
graphical modeling
environment is based on
the Business Process
Management Notation (BPMN)
1.1 standard, which
allows business managers
to represent almost any
possible business
process logic and
pattern by drawing a
diagram. IT staff can
then specify the
attributes for the
process objects, such
as:
-
the relevant
communication
service (e.g., OFTP
2) for an incoming
order
-
the back-end
integration service
for processing the
order in the ERP
system
-
the transformation
service for
converting the file
(e.g., EDIFACT or
XML)
-
the routing
mechanism
The
modeled process can then
be tested and refined
before it is put into
production.
In
domains such as
accounting, payment, and
B2B flows,
ProcessManager provides
business staff with
visibility and control
over established
processing chains —
without having to
re-engineer them.
In
domains such as
telecommunications,
complex order
management, online
service provisioning,
and customer service,
ProcessManager can also
help you:
-
Manage the entire
lifecycle of a
business process,
including modeling,
automation within
the information
system, automatic
execution on a
process engine, IT
operation, and
business and
technical monitoring
and analysis.
-
Speed
time-to-market
by re-engineering
all or part of a
value chain to
simplify how you
provide services to
customers. You can
re-use service and
process models to
speed time-to-market
and help increase
the competitiveness
of your business.
-
Give
business staff
end-to-end
visibility
over existing, new,
and re-engineered
business processes
to support
fulfillment of
service level
agreements (SLAs).
-
Reduce costs
by facilitating
system evolution and
building scalability
into your processing
to capitalize on
existing IT assets
and fulfill high
volumes of service
orders.
-
Improve
communication
between CIOs and
business managers
by using the
graphical BPMN
interface to depict
end-to-end flows of
business processes
and coordinating the
sequence of
processes and
messages that flow
between
participants.
-
Implement proven
best practices
according to Axway’s
recommended
architecture,
methodology, and
project approach.
