Being a pioneer in the BPM industry, the client had developed the first comprehensive BPM solution for the Microsoft platform.However, they needed an integrated suite which included the process designer, form designer, and portal. Quadwave successfully came up with a solution to seamlessly integrate the form designer, process designer, BPM engine, and the portal.
Situation
The client needed a unified Enterprise BPM solution integrating the App builder, Form designer, Enterprise Manager, and Work Centre. Since these were disparate elements, the Form Designer was built using Microsoft Visio and the Portal was designed using SharePoint.The focus was to integrate the elements and create a unified experience for the enterprise user.
As a leading BPM solution provider, based out of USA, with more than 1000 installation bases across the globe, the client wanted to upgrade their technology to a rich internet based application- encompassing a process designer, a report engine, and dashboards.
They wanted major changes and additions along with new deployment options. They needed a solution that provides an integrated front end that allows configurable access for a group of users including role definitions and permissions.
Solution
The application was built around a web-based workflow engine, an enterprise portal, a BI platform, document management systems, and an ESB along with several other options.
The integrated web-based portal supports comprehensive reporting and dash boarding, collaboration, provides an application builder, and an execution platform.
The application allows the end users to create workflows,business apps, and system integrations that even go beyond what most enterprise BPMs are capable of.
