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 like 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 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 workflow management into business operations and business offerings
based on SAS solutions
