Integration Components Defined

AgilePoint Server

AgilePoint Server is the Microsoft .NET based AgilePoint BPMS Suite component that hosts the AgilePoint Workflow Engine on the workflow server. The AgilePoint Server Process Engine is capable of directly executing the XML composite process models produced by AgilePoint Envision. It is composed of an ASP.NET Web application (containing several Web services), as well as some utility applications.

SharePoint 2007

This is a document management and collaboration system where the AgilePoint Integration is installed. SharePoint provides the main end-user interface for which end-users check their task list and perform work in the context of an AgilePoint process. Enterprises are using SharePoint for the native collaboration, portals, and content management, enhanced with the model-driven AgilePoint BPMS integration extension to realize an all inclusive, modern BPMS platform. The AgilePoint Integration lets you bind dynamic workflow solutions to almost any SharePoint entity such as:

• Sites
• Lists Items
• Document and Form Libraries
• Content Types 

ASP.NET Applications

The ASP.NET applications can also access the SharePoint interface via RPC and Web services.

Workflow Designer

AgilePoint Envision is the process modeling component of the AgilePoint BPMS Suite that is used to build and deploy business process models to AgilePoint Server. AgilePoint Envision transforms Visio into a full lifecycle BPM productivity tool for the modeling, simulation, deployment, analysis, and improvement of process models in an environment with which most business users are already familiar.

Workstations

Application users can use their workstation Internet browsers to access SharePoint and perform their work and access other AgilePoint Integration features.
