AgilePoint BPMS

AgilePoint BPMS is a .NET-based, model-driven, Business Process Management (BPM) solution, aimed at building SOA-aligned, highly adaptive process-based applications through composition of process-enabled IT assets abstracted from and across existing applications, and messaging and productivity solutions, with a focus on leveraging common Microsoft technologies such as SharePoint, InfoPath, Exchange, Project Server, WF, Visual Studio, and the .NET platform.

The suite comprises a Visio-based process modeler which is, in fact, also an integrated composition environment for process-based SOA composition a Visual Studio-based development environment for creating encapsulated reusable process elements in XML enabled by metadata driven IT asset abstraction framework, and a XML-based process execution engine.

AgilePoint focuses on increased visibility and manageability into processes, both at design time and at run time, and on business user-driven process formulation and management.

AgilePoint BPMS redefines many traditional application development boundaries by changing the 'how to' and 'who can' leverage IT assets to create and continually improve end-to-end business process automation, integration, and dynamic process-driven applications. By utilizing AgilePoint BPMS, business users can leverage abstracted IT assets in the form of process-enabled services (i.e. in their familiar process language), and quickly assemble and further configure them on demand to create a directly executable process model.

The process model is a new generation, dynamic, process-based composite application. This unprecedented technological advancement enables business managers and subject matter experts (e.g. business process analysts, power users, or line-of-business managers) to respond to market changes in the front office without having to resort to the back office and burden IT with lengthy and costly engineering cycles that hinder business agility and competitiveness. AgilePoint BPMS yields unprecedented ROI for organizations with both bottom-line savings within the product marketplace, and top-line transformational business benefits by adopting this new paradigm - at up to a mere fifth of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of its J2EE counterparts.
