 "Business Process Analysis Suite From Oracle")
Oracle recently announced the availability of its new Business Process Analysis Suite which is designed to provide business users the ability to model, publish, simulate and optimize business processes across the enterprise to increase operational efficiencies and productivity.
Part of Oracle Fusion Middleware, the suite makes it possible for business or IT managers to model and automate multi-step processes and simulate and identify organizational, structural and technical problems in workflows before they occur.
Built on an open architecture, Oracle Business Process Analysis Suite can be used to model business processes that can be deployed with Oracle and non-Oracle J2EE application servers. It can even work with packaged applications, such as SAP.
The Suite consists of four components:
Business Process Architect - A standards-based tool for process modeling that supports standards-based notations and templates including Business Process Modeling Notation.
Business Process Repository Server - A server component for sharing the process repository across multiple users in a collaborative environment.
Business Process Simulator - A tool for simulating the process models based on a set of discrete events to do “what if” analysis.
Business Process Publisher - Publishes process models to a large audience outside of the core team designing the process models.
