HandySoft是第一個BPM解決方案提供商,使用戶能夠無縫地自動化和集成動態的具有結構化的流程的任務??蛻魝冑潎@這些功能,因為他們對滿足他們動態的業務應用要求至關重要。
HandSoft提供的BizFlow作為市場上最具有活力的BPM解決方案平臺。我們可以重一下幾點看出:
支持動態BPM
動態BPM認為由于企業的組織變化(例如,不斷變化的勞動力,業務目標,和競爭的現實)和技術變革(例如,新的應用和新的功能)導致業務流程不斷演變,同時企業應該在他們的職權范圍內分配相應人員到各個流程中以適當的提高工人的效率。因此,企業需要一個能夠支持快速概念化和創建靈活的應用的業務流程平臺。
為業務用戶和IT專業人士設計并構建支持動態業務環境,BizFlow跳出了傳統的流程管理解決方案的單調的,一維的外觀感覺。它提供了生動的細分展開功能,完整的關鍵路徑識別和分析,以及增強的動態流程自動化。其每項的關鍵點是,下一代功能提供給用戶部署業務流程的能力,這些功能能夠適應和隨著企業的不斷變化的業務環境不斷演變。
提供動態業務應用程序
在高性能工作的今天,用戶們需要能夠滿足他們在靈活性,敏捷性,管理透明性,流程校準,和具有豐富的用戶體驗需求的業務應用程序。
使用BizFlow版本11系列,我們真正提供了用于創建動態業務應用程序的市場上的一個BPM套件。用戶能夠構建滿足快速修改和執行,變量條件,和短時條件需求的應用程序。它們還可以為實時監控和決策提供概念化流程信息。并只有使用BizFlow,用戶們才能得到無縫地自動化和集成動態的具有結構化的流程的任務,在一個企業中所發生的所有工作之上驅動可視性,控制,和生產力。
提供ROI
世界范圍內數以百計的企業使用BizFlow創建動態的業務應用程序,至今提供了50%到500%之間的回報率的價值。例如,三星公司使用BizFlow在他們的重工業和保險業經營中。在短短兩年的實施中,三星的重工業在管理監督上節約了845,000美元,外購產品量增加了2,520,000美元,并降低了材料選擇方面達到338,000美元。
在一個平臺上整合了所有的BPM功能
BizFlow是一個全功能的BPM解決方案平臺。創建一個流程驅動的應用程序所需要的一切都包括在內。功能和其基本功能包括:
流程建模功能
流程發現與建模密切相關。作為項目經理和業務分析人員要與開發人員協作,BizFlow的建模器將會利用相應的業務規則幫助捕獲并說明工作流程。
用戶們能夠建模流程和子流程。例如,用戶們能夠輕松地定義子流程,如質量評審中的所有的文檔工作相關的前期起源和核保都是提供給工人和小組進行審核的。一個集體的和個人的批準/轉交或拒絕/返工子流程能夠通過一點和點擊界面來定義。
業務規則功能
將BizFlow從常見的工作流工具中分離作為一個BPM套件是一個綜合的業務規則環境。從流程建模器右邊,用戶們可以雙擊活動來添加規則到每個活動或流程定義。
流程監控功能
每位HandySoft客戶提到可視性的價值。它是許多源于BizFlow解決方案占據首位的優點??梢曅约由蠘I務分析提供了一種機制,以監測和報告業績和風險。
使用BizFlow用戶們能夠看到流程的狀態:誰在做什么,做了什么,瓶頸出現在哪里,和瓶頸原因。管理人員可以了解到他們需要做什么來提高生產力。用戶們可以更多的合作,因為他們能夠即時的訪問附件和意見以及知道哪里發生了特殊的路徑改變。
BizFlow超出了簡單的圖形化的流程工作項的顯示。工人和管理人員可以很容易地從一個流程圖發現重要的處理細節,如已用時間,在截止日期之前認為完成的實例,以及在處理的實例總數。
BizFlow現在為了提供給用戶關鍵路徑分析需要進一步的監測。關鍵路徑是那些需要最長時間才能完成的流程。BizFlow實時監測關鍵路徑并標記那些已達到了給定閾值的實例,以便工人能夠響應瓶頸或異常處理政策。該功能幫助客戶們確保交易滿足最后期限同時支持SLA,監管要求和其他關鍵的業務目標。
動態分配任務功能
任務分配是常見的一種工作流程活動。BizFlow使流程參與者啟動活動或停止正式的到任務和與其他人合作的流程。與電子郵件一樣,具有的這種特殊路徑功能支持并行處理。但是與電子郵件不一樣的是,BizFlow在任務狀態以及整個任務分配的控制上提供完整的可視性。
業務應用程序和表單開發功能
人到人的流程中大部分是圍繞了表單,一個原因是因為BPM本身是與文檔管理和記錄管理平臺相吻合的。
BizFlow提供的表單開發能力作為它本身的綜合的業務應用程序開發環境的一部分??蛻魝兡軌蚴褂肂izFlow表單或其他表單技術,如Microsoft Office, Adobes PDF, ASP和JSP。此外,能夠訪問一個web發送的Adobe LiveCycle表單或Microsoft InfoPath表單的任何人現在都能在BizFlow中啟動流程。通過這些表單捕獲數據并提交到BizFlow處理。這樣,BizFlow通過易用訪問,易于使用和重用快速的提升ROI。
靈活的用戶界面與為全球的勞動力的協作
BizFlow是眾所周知的具有卓越的可配置的終端用戶界面。不像那些需要通過編碼來自定義的系統,BizFlow的配置完全是通過點擊和基于向導來完成的。這就意味著非技術人員能夠按他們自己的需要自己更改,以及這些自定義是免費升級的。當一個BizFlow新版本推出時,不需要昂貴的再申請更改也可用。
BizFlow能夠在被直接訪問或被下放到幾乎所有的符合JSR-168規范的門戶環境中。客戶可以將BizFlow portlets(又稱BizCoves)分離為不同的門戶區域。并且每個區域的UI按個人用戶或用戶組的需要是可配置的。再加上任何人能夠從Web上通過Adobe LiveCycle和Microsoft InfoPath表單啟動一個流程。不需要許可要求。
BizFlow還提供了在開發周期和流程運行期兩者的許多協作功能。BizFlow能夠捕獲,并跟蹤評論,任務,文檔,和其他每個流程實例相關的附件,并使這些對每個貢獻者都可用。
SOA集成功能
查找和輸入數據到文檔構成了平均每天工作的很大一部分。通過集成,流程驅動的應用程序能夠將數據填充到表單和自動化的工作流程步驟中,如數據項,數據驗證,和數據更改。
無論是通過適配器或Web服務,BizFlow擅于獲取這些數據并將它們引入到工作流程中。使用BizFlow用戶可以創建或重用web服務來連接應用程序表單到數據記錄上。并使用即開即用的適配器BizFlow可以利用文檔管理系統支持文檔圖像處理,版本控制和歸檔處理。
業務活動監測功能
流程可視性和控制基于管理流程的基本規則。每個規則的最后期限用來維持服務的等級,有效的業務政策的參數,最專業的參與者創建一個性能指標用于持續的流程優化的檢測和積極反饋分析。
HandySoft presents BizFlow® as the most dynamic BPM solution platform is the marketplace. Consider the following:
BizFlow® enables Dynamic BPM.
Dynamic BPM holds that business processes constantly evolve due to both organizational change (e.g., changing workforce, business objectives, and competitive realities) and technological change (e.g., new applications and new capabilities), and that organizations should do everything in their power to align people with process to measurably enhance worker effectiveness. As a result, organizations need a ”business process platform” that supports rapid change and creates agile applications.
Designed for both business users and IT professionals and built to support dynamic business environments, BizFlow® moves beyond the flat, one-dimensional feel of traditional process management solutions. It offers vivid drill-down capabilities, sound critical path identification and analytics, as well as enhanced dynamic process automation. Each of these key, next-generation capabilities provides users the ability to deploy business processes that adapt to and evolve with an organization’s ever-changing business environment.
BizFlow® delivers “Dynamic Business Applications.”
In the high performance workplace of today, users need business applications that meet their needs for flexibility, agility, management visibility, process alignment, and a rich user experience.
With BizFlow v11 Series, we truly offer the marketplace a BPM Suite for creating dynamic business applications. Users can build applications for rapid modification and execution, variable conditions, and short-lived situational needs. They can also conceptualize process information for real-time executive monitoring and decision-making. And only with BizFlow® do users get to seamlessly automate and integrate dynamic tasks with structured processes to drive visibility, control, and productivity across all work that happens within an organization.
BizFlow® Delivers ROI.
Hundreds of organizations worldwide use BizFlow® to create dynamic business applications that deliver value measured to date between 50% and 500% ROI. For example, Samsung uses BizFlow® within their heavy industries and insurance operations. Within two years of implementation, Samsung Heavy Industries saved $845,000 in management oversight, increased outsourcing production volume by $2,520,000 and reduced material selection time by $338,000.
BizFlow® Combines All BPM Capabilities on One Platform:
BizFlow® is a full featured BPM solution platform. Everything needed to create a process-driven application is included. Functionality and their underlying capabilities include:
BizFlow® –Process Modeling Capabilities
Process discovery and modeling should go hand-in-hand. As Project Managers and Business Analysts collaborate with Developers, the BizFlow® modeler will help capture and illustrate workflow with corresponding business rules.
Users can model process and sub-process. For example, users can easily define a sub-process such as Quality Review where all of the paperwork associated with the upfront origination and underwriting is made available to a worker or team for review. A collective or singular approval/forward or reject/rework sub-process can all be defined via a point and click interface.

BizFlow® – Business Rules Capabilities
What separates BizFlow® as a BPM Suite from common workflow tools is the integrated business rules environment. Right from the process modeler, users can double-click activities to add business rules to each activity or process definition.
BizFlow® – Process Monitoring Capabilities
Every HandySoft customer mentions the value of visibility. It is the first benefit of many that stems from a BizFlow® solution. Visibility coupled with business analytics provides a mechanism to monitor and report on business performance and risks.
With BizFlow®, users can see process status – who is doing what, what has been done, where are the bottlenecks, and bottleneck causes. Managers can understand what they need to do to improve productivity. Users can be more collaborative because they have instant access to attachment and comments and understand what ad-hoc routing has occurred.
BizFlow goes beyond simple graphic displays of in-process work items. Workers and managers can easily drill through a process diagram to discover important process details such as time elapsed, deadlines pending, and total processed instances.
BizFlow now takes monitoring a step further in providing users Critical Path analysis. Critical paths are those requiring the most time to complete. BizFlow® monitors critical paths in real-time and flags those reaching assigned thresholds so that workers can respond to bottlenecks or exception handling policies. This capability helps customers to ensure transactions meet deadlines while supporting SLAs, regulatory requirements and other critical business objectives.


BizFlow® – Dynamic Tasking Capabilities
Tasking is a common workflow activity. BizFlow® enables process participants to initiate actions or punch out of formal processes to task and collaborate with others. Like email, this ad-hoc routing capability supports parallel processing. But unlike email, BizFlow provides complete visibility into task status as well as control over task distribution.

BizFlow® – Business Application and Forms Development Capabilities
Human-to-human processes largely revolve around forms, a reason why BPM naturally dovetails with document management and records management platforms.
BizFlow® delivers forms development capabilities as part of its integrated business application development environment. Customers can use BizFlow® forms or integrate with other form technology such as Microsoft Office, Adobe’s PDF, ASP and JSP. Furthermore, anyone allowed access to a web-posted Adobe LiveCycle form or Microsoft InfoPath form can now initiate processes within BizFlow. The data captured by these forms is submitted to BizFlow for processing. In this way, BizFlow® delivers ROI quickly through ease-of-access, ease-of-use and reuse.

BizFlow® – Flexible User Interfaces & Collaboration for Global Workforce
BizFlow® is widely known for its extremely configurable end user interfaces. Unlike systems that require customization through coding, BizFlow® configuration is completely point-and-click and wizard-based. That means non-technical people can make changes they need when they need them and that customizations are ‘upgrade free.’ There is no need to expensively re-apply changes when a new version of BizFlow® becomes available.
BizFlow® can be directly-accessed or dropped into almost any JSR-168 compliant portal environment. Customers can separate out BizFlow® portlets (aka “BizCoves”) into different portal areas. And each area within the UI is configurable to individual user or user group needs. Plus now anyone can initiate processes from the Web through forms from Adobe LiveCycle and Microsoft InfoPath. No licenses required.
BizFlow® also provides many collaboration features both in the development cycle and during process run-time. BizFlow® enables, captures, and tracks commentary, tasks, documents, and attachments associated with each process instance and makes that available to each contributor.

BizFlow® – SOA Integration Capabilities
Finding and entering data to documents makes up a large part of the average work day. Through integration, process-driven applications can pull data into forms, automating workflow steps such as data entry, data validation, and data changes.
Whether through adaptors or Web services, BizFlow® excels at getting at this data and introducing it into the workflow. With BizFlow® users can create or reuse web services to link application forms to data records. And using out-of-the-box adaptors BizFlow can harness document management systems to enable document imaging, versioning, and archiving.

BizFlow® – Business Activity Monitoring Capabilities
Process visibility and control is based on underlying rules governing workflow. Each rule – deadlines to maintain service levels, parameters for effective business policies, participants for best expertise– creates a performance indicator that can be monitored and analyzed for positive feedback for continual process optimization.
