BUSINESS PROCESS
MANAGEMENT SUITE
The complete BPM system cycle covers four stages:
Modelling, Execution, Monitoring
and Optimization.
Analyzes the Processes and Business Rules and uses Modeling to
graphically express the Process structure and flow diagram. This
graphic presentation is called
Class of Process Modeling.
AuraPortal
BPMS has adopted for the modeling of their
Classes of Process
the International Standard, BPMN
(Business Process Modeling Notation)
by OMG. This notation can be 'mapped' to BPEL4WS (Business Process
Execution Language for Web Sevices), also called
BPEL, which is the XML standard language for executing processes.
This possibility to convert to BPEL is interesting as it
maintains the standards and is available to the users, but is
not used here as the AuraPortal BPMS Process execution
mechanisms are much more powerful and go much further than BPEL.
The
orchestrator (device
in charge of the start and orchestration of all the Processes)
regulates the start and finish of the Processes that function
concurrently, controlling each one, by its own Engine. The Engines take into
account the Business Rules
that have been defined in the company and activate the users
Workflows so that each one receives the order to make the tasks
that he is responsible for, in the right place and time and
with the format and forms ready for use to facilitate the work.
AuraPortal BPMS includes an exclusive and innovative
program called
Generatrix,
that is in charge of generating automatically from the Model,
Process control engines
without the need of programing.
This outstanding feature clearly distinguishes and constitutes an
important attraction of the product.
 Moreover, there are
other very interesting functions such as the integration of the
rest of the Process workflows with other free workflow platforms that allow for a task assignee to be
added as one goes along, from different linked tasks that,
without affecting the principal Process development, add
functions and flexibility that allow the treatment of subjects
related to blocks, conflicts, consults, etc. not contemplated in
the original Process development. This resolves extensively any
of the commented BPM problems: excessive inflexibility. In some
cases, due to unforeseen situations or difficult Model
plasmation, the Processes require more flexibility than can be
offered by the original. Here AuraPortal BPM brings a
radical, innovative and definitive solution.
With respect to the Activities that comprise a Process, as a
sample the following differing aspects of AuraPortal
BPM can be mentioned.
-
Allows the
entry of specific information by way of
Forms
that are designed by the company without having to program.
This information enters during the Process to its
appropriate place and is available for consults, to be
integrated in the execution of other Processes and as a
route for audits.
-
Offers great
flexibility to define and adapt the Profiles or
Roles
to the User Groups, allowing a very
filtered access to the different parts of the Processes
through the Request Gestor.
-
An exclusive
management system of Business Rules
is available,
directed towards a perfect integration with the Processes
without losing independence.
-
Three kinds of
users: Employee Users, External Users and Guest Users.
-
Allows the
temporary workflow diversion towards other employees to
obtain information or request actions by means of creating,
as it goes along, free workflow
Tasks
as mentioned above.
This is very useful when applied in the Processes in certain
Business Rules that because of their complexity or their
subjective component automatic application turns out to be
impossible.
-
Warnings
can be made that arrive automatically
and always to the appropriate people (depending on the type
of warning) when an emergency or unexpected problem occurs.
-
Controls the
times, both by dates and duration, establishing limits if so
wished and assuring that the appropriate employees receive
alerts and alarms when these limits are about to be exceeded
or have been exceeded. The date and time control
combines simultaneously 3 scales:
GMT (UTC) time, the system server time and local
time in the user terminal. This way, even though the process
involves users simultaneously situated in different parts of
the world with different time zones, the control is always
correct and uniform.
-
Receives and
generates Messages
for communicating outside via
Exchange and Outlook electronic mail.
-
It is possible
to associate Procceses with
Projects
so as
to exert a structured control and management of Costs and
Revenues associated with the 3 levels: Projects,
Processes and Activities.
This
is in charge of registering and showing to the Process
responsibles and the company management the real situations
(times, delays or advancements, diversions over patterns, costs,
etc.) of all the Processes whilst they are being executed,
without waiting for the subsequent audit. For this, information
compiled by the Processes Control Points
is used. This information is transferred to the
Dashboard
that can carry out the monitoring or
BAM (Business Activity Monitoring),
and can also link with BI (Business Intelligence) systems.
Seeing the
results registered in the Monitoring allows to envisage the necessary changes in
the Processes to improve them.
