The integration and
interoperability of applications and data has improved with the emergence
of the Web, middleware technologies, enterprise application integration
(EAI) efforts and adherence to software standards (for example, Java,
J2EE, and XML). However, businesses manage by process driving the
continued adoption of BPM across many industries. Popular workflow
features include the following:
-
systematic routing of tasks requiring
manual intervention
-
automated triggering of basic actions
and alerts
-
centralized reporting and audit
functions
Process management systems
like SAS Workflow Studio offer the option to define, automate, audit,
and refine business operations by leveraging the Web, middleware,
and standards to more efficiently and effectively manage by process.
SAS Workflow Studio provides the tools to rapidly integrate fundamental
process management into business operations and business offerings
based on SAS solutions and products.
