Interstage Business Process Manager is cost effective, easily installs and quickly integrates into existing environments—guaranteeing a faster path to ROI. 

Full Business Process Life Cycle Control

The key phases in a business process life cycle — process modeling, automation, integration, management and optimization — have typically been manually intensive steps.  Interstage Business Process Manager empowers users by automating their business processes and providing them with complete control over the entire process. life cycle.

Model— In order to streamline your business processes effectively, being able to easily outline the process steps to determine which of these need to be automated is important. Interstage Business Process Manager provides a powerful and intuitive graphical process modeling environment that lets business users drag-and-drop icons to easily design business processes.

Automate— One of the key benefits that Interstage Business Process Manager offers is the ability to automate these mapped out processes while ensuring that critical tasks that require human intervention do not fall through the cracks. By automating business processes, organizations can have their resources focus on the core competencies to achieve their corporate objectives and attain exponential business benefits.

Integrate— Interstage Business Process Manager’s modular, open, standards-based architecture allows for straightforward integration into existing environments, while guaranteeing that it will smoothly adapt to future technological developments as well.

Manage— Interstage Business Process Manager provides user-friendly views of the process status through graphical representations. The Business Activity Monitor dashboard displays real-time reports and alerts when thresholds are met based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Business users can easily define the KPIs and how to respond when thresholds are met. Powerful business process analytics and reporting capabilities lets users slice and dice business-related metrics.  This allows for improved process visibility and accountability, essential for good process governance.

Optimize— Interstage Business Process Manager’s process optimization capabilities can be used to run a “what-if” analysis to understand what changes can be made to a process design to eliminate process bottlenecks in real-time, thereby maximizing resource utilization and improving process efficiency. The optimized models of business processes can then be versioned and deployed as needed.
