HandySoft's BizFlow 10 Provides a Single, Strategic BPM Solution for Streamlining and Automating Myriad Business Processes
Two new BizFlow editions provide companies choice and evolution in the BPM design tools they need to address any business process challenge — from simple process improvement to complex SOA-based process applications
BizFlow 10 was designed with collaboration in mind for organizations looking to scale their current departmental BPM implementations into enterprise-level strategic processes. Platform-agnostic, scalable, and proven to deliver under high-performance demands, BizFlow 10 addresses human workflow/people-centric processes, document-centric processes, services (SOA)-centric processes, and decision-centric processes — all in a single BPM suite.
"Analysts emphasize the importance of making the right purchase decision in emerging markets such as BPM solutions," said Mr. Brian Boxman, VP of Worldwide Sales and Marketing for HandySoft Global. "We believe that BizFlow 10's ability to address all of the business process challenges a company may face – both now and in the future – makes BizFlow the strategic choice for BPM. Our customers can choose which edition addresses their current needs and expand those capabilities as their initiatives evolve. And, our commitment to standards and industry-leading services orchestration capabilities helps minimize technology investment risks. Only BizFlow 10 provides that type of choice."
Most visibly, BizFlow 10 offers two new, innovative design studios: BizFlow Process Studio and BizFlow Integration Studio, which separate business-level modeling from system-level modeling, enabling a unified team of business and IT specialists to implement process-enabled applications effectively and in the shortest time possible.
BizFlow Process Studio provides a collaborative design environment supporting full process lifecycle management, with tools for modeling and analyzing "as-is" and "to-be" processes, implementing and deploying optimized process designs through business and IT collaboration, and administering and controlling processes in execution and archive states.
BizFlow Integration Studio provides a development environment for the IT integration specialists involved in process improvement projects; enables the rapid development and orchestration of services-oriented transactions, with advanced features such as 2-phase commit with rollback, exception handling, visual point and click data transformation services, embedded testing and debugging tools, UDDI, and more.
Additionally, BizFlow 10 global workforce management features, enhanced process documentation, system-level transaction management, and change propagation features ease the challenges and risks associated with deploying large-scale processes and process change across globally-dispersed organizations.
"BizFlow 10 doesn't just streamline and automate all process types. It also facilitates a global workforce," said Daniele Chenal, VP of Product Management and Marketing at HandySoft Global. "If some of your team members are in New York, some are in California, and some are in China, BizFlow allows you to seamlessly integrate those people into a process that allows everyone to participate in that process in a way that suits the way they need to work –adapted to their own time zone, their own language, their own business culture. Plus, in BizFlow 10, we also focused heavily on collaboration because a team-based approach to process improvement is fundamental to BPM deployment success."
According to Janelle B. Hill, Gartner VP, "Building a partnership between the IT and business organizations and clearly defining roles and responsibilities are the most-critical success factors for strategic process initiatives. Business users should own responsibility for the highest-level process model from the design through the execution phases."
And, BizFlow 10's enhanced data capture drives more informative, enterprise-level reporting, enabling the business value of process change to be continuously measured, monitored, and improved.
Two BizFlow 10 Editions
BizFlow 10 Standard Edition provides a collaborative approach in process design and automation. A key component, the BizFlow Process Studio, brings BizFlow's design and management tools into a single desktop studio product, built on Eclipse technology. This studio facilitates a team-based and collaborative approach to process automation implementation. The Standard Edition is packaged for those customers looking to address document- and/or human-centric process automation. Standard Edition also offers a range of features for process modeling, documentation output, managing ongoing process change, and supporting a global workforce.
BizFlow 10 Advanced Edition offers all the capabilities of the Standard Edition plus a whole lot more. Ideal for processes that are more complex and incorporate decisions and services, the Advanced Edition includes the BizFlow Integration Studio, a desktop studio of tools designed to facilitate services-oriented integration – that is, integration to existing business systems via the Web or Java standard interfaces. Whether it's a single piece of business logic (for example, invoking a credit-scoring Web service) or a complex transaction (for example, invoking several systems via service interfaces to determine the financial status of a loan applicant), Advanced Edition provides the tools, adapters, and SDKs needed to rapidly leverage existing technologies and core business systems in new ways.
