Automate BPM combines a forms engine, a rules engine,
and a state-based workflow engine in a tightly integrated application
development and deployment platform. Automate BPM forms can display
standard data fields as well as graphical components such as meters, traffic
signals, bar charts, pie charts, x/y plots, and
polar plots. Rules can be defined to reconfigure a form based on
user inputs, workflow status, or external conditions. The rules engine allows complex
business rules to be decomposed into simple, atomic rules and then manages their interactions to
give rise to the application's dynamic behavior. The state engine tracks
workflow status and automatically generates relevant user tasks. Similarly, obsolete tasks are automatically
removed without requiring manual intervention or customization. As a result, business
processes can adapt in real time to changes in the
business environment. By removing the need to define tasks
and their complex interdependencies up front, this new approach significantly speeds up
application development and reduces total cost of ownership. Customers have used Automate BPM
to build and deploy solutions including help desk management, executive
decision support, US Department of Defense (DoD) action tracking, US Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) reporting, and supply chain optimization. With
Design Studio IDE, an entire application can be built through drag-and-drop
operations. Automate BPM is fully web-based and service-oriented
architecture (SOA)-ready, and supports all major operating systems, databases,
and web browsers.
