Fujitsu Interstage provides cross-division processes

By David Worthington

July 1, 2008 — In an attempt to make it easier for enterprises to create cross-division processes, a business process management (BPM) software developer has updated its tools to consolidate multiple applications onto a single server for centralized management.

Fujitsu released on June 16 version 10 of Interstage Business Process Manager. It is designed for application partitioning, which allows multi-tenant deployment, the company noted.

BPM is now an accepted concept, but it requires specialized skills, said senior vice president of research and development Keith Swenson. Application partitioning allows businesses to pull that skill into one group, he added.

Partitioned applications are managed independently so that one division is not manipulating or viewing the processes from different divisions, Swenson explained.

Interstage’s business monitoring and simulation has new analysis and troubleshooting abilities in this release, and it now includes tools for designing user interfaces as well as deploying service mashups and composite applications.

Processes can be monitored for outliers that fall outside of established conditions; these outliers trigger a notification via e-mail or a call to an external system. Process information can be combined with business data and stored in a data warehouse, to be analyzed for process improvement.

Analytics are transferred to an OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) engine to provide users with a historical retrospective that can break out processes according to their data, said Swenson.

Users can simulate processes using hypothetical arrival rates for work that are defined in the Eclipse-based Interstage Business Process Manager Studio environment. Simulations mimic real conditions by allocating resources according to the business calendar.

The Interstage Studio also includes a new WYSIWYG designer for creating AJAX-based forms. AJAX interfaces can be put into mashups incorporated with applications such as Google Maps, said Swenson.

“We have always been oriented to quickly developing applications,” Swenson said. “What is unique about our approach is that users can draw a process [in BPMN] and run it immediately without any programming,” adding that Interstage has the ability to modify running processes.
