Pegasystems Gives BPM Its Wings

By David Worthington

July 24, 2007 — Winging it is generally the wrong way to run a business process management (BPM) initiative. Pegasystems SmartBPM 5.3, released July 17, is geared to boost developer productivity while providing an end-to-end solution that helps businesses plan, build and manage process-management solutions through their entire life cycle. Pegasystems says that more than 40 improvements have been made to the suite in this release.

PegaRules Process Commander sits at the core of the suite. Process Commander is a browser-based user environment for business analysts and IT operations staff to build and manage human and automated process workflows. The new release includes automated testing, encryption-based security and faster localization capabilities, all aimed at accelerating development.

An optional unit test manager has been added to the suite, allowing developers to perform more frequent regression testing on SmartBPM applications, with less work. Test case data is collected and managed automatically, ensuring application integrity.

Encryption-based security brings SmartBPM into closer compliance with American privacy mandates and laws governing international finance, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Title III of the Patriot Act. Data may be encrypted at any point or level; a range of encryption algorithms is supported.

A new wizard-based accelerator in SmartBPM localizes applications for different language locales, without requiring any coding or language resource kits. Versioning in the new release is more fine-grained.

The PegaRules rules engine now allows developers to use declarative rules to determine the optimal way of retrieving data from external systems. Pegasystems says that declarative rules will make applications more responsive, while reducing the time-to-market for new solutions.

The suite bundles a case management application, process analyzer and process simulator, and will integrate with content management systems, portals and enterprise service-oriented architectures with its connectors and adapters.
