Intalio|n³

The most Comprehensive and only
BPM-standards-based BPMS available today

 

Intalio|n³ is the only standards-based and platform-neutral Business Process Management System (BPMS) that enables best-in-class business processes to be extended into executable and manageable processes that can be directly deployed onto existing IT assets and seamlessly directed by business users.

 

Leverage Existing Corporate Assets

Large corporations have made significant investments within three main categories of assets: business process modeling, workforce management and training, and information system deployment.

Because such investments can yield unprecedented returns when leveraged across each other, Intalio|n³ is designed to support the execution of best-in-class business process models onto existing IT systems and their seamless direction by business users.

For this purpose, Intalio|n³ is architected around four main components:

Intalio|n³ Server is the system's core component and is responsible for the execution of business processes. On its edges, three additional components provide the necessary links with existing corporate assets: processes, people, and systems.

Intalio|n³ Designer allows existing business processes, procedures, and policies to be imported from any process modeling software and extended into executable and manageable processes, then bound to existing IT systems and user interfaces.

Intalio|n³ Director allows employees, customers, and partners to direct the execution of business processes through any workforce software (groupware systems, workflow systems, enterprise information portals).

Intalio|n³ Projectors allow the processes that are engrained within existing applications, databases, and heritage systems to be exposed as first-class process components through any integration software (EAI middleware, application server).

 

Intalio Architecture and the Process Life Cycle

From discovery to optimization, business processes have a life cycle of their own that needs to be fully captured in order to benefit from the advantages that come with the process-oriented management of any business activity. Intalio|n³ meets this requirement by natively implementing Intalio's Process Life Cycle™, which covers
every step in the overall process of managing business processes.

What makes Intalio|n³ a truly unique solution for business process management are the ability to cover the entire process life cycle and the fact that each step in the overall process life cycle is handled by a single product component: business analysts, software engineers, and system administrators use a single tool to discover, model, bind, and deploy business processes (Intalio|n³ Designer) and a single interface to interact with, monitor, analyze, and control their execution (Intalio|n³ Director).

The Intalio Process LifeCycle™ Discovery of best-in-class business processes from processes, procedures, and policies currently in use across organizations, in practice with business users, or engrained within IT systems. Modeling of business-level processes that involve employees, customers, partners, applications, databases, heritage systems, and other processes as abstract process participants. Binding of business-level process models onto IT systems and user interfaces, complemented with the modeling of system-level processes for exception handling and transaction compensation. Deployment of executable processes onto the process execution environment made of the Intalio|n³ Server as well as optional integration software and workforce software. Execution of business processes in a reliable, scalable, and secure fashion including distributed transaction processing, business rule evaluation, work management, and state persistence.Interaction of business users with running process instances for task assignment, delegation, prioritization, and fulfillment, document management, and exception handling. Monitoring of process instances—either in progress or completed—for reporting, real-time decision making, alert notification, and ongoing process facilitation (also refered to as Business Activity Monitoring). Analysis of process instances—either in progress or completed—for reporting, forward-looking decision making, and continuous process improvement (also refered to as Business Process Intelligence). Control of in-progress process instances and deployed system resources for availability, reliability, security, and quality-of-service delivery, as well as failure recovery.

Because Intalio|n³ was developed from the ground-up with a process-oriented view to business process management—as opposed to being a patchwork of legacy technologies, all aspects of business process management are supported through first-class processes that can be customized and extended to fit the requirements of specific business environments and IT architectures.

This includes:

Process Life Cycle Management

Exception Handling

Runtime Monitoring

Participant Management

Document Management

Work Management

Furthermore, all four major components of Intalio|n³ are designed to work independently from each other, by leveraging industry standards at their interfaces, in such a way that they can be integrated within a best-of-breed architecture for enterprise-class business process management.

As a result, Intalio|n³ is a truly revolutionary platform for business process management that delivers a proven methodology in response to a unique vision, upon a world-class architecture that can adress the requirements of the most demanding business environments and IT organizations.
