The Staffware iProcess Engine delivers unprecedented BPM efficiency,flexibility and scalability that international organizations demand.Staffware iPE also provides extensive EAI capabilities as an intrinsic partof the product as well as interfaces to established products. This allowscustomers to rapidly leverage EAI functionality and link legacy applicationsin realtime across the enterprise and outside to customers over theInternet.
Staffware iPE accomplishes this by acting as the intelligence layer over anenterprise's business operations. Once processes have been modelled anddata has been integrated from various sources, Staffware iPE manages theentire transaction from beginning to end - initiating parallel processes,retrieving key data from legacy systems, updating and backing up all stepsand ensuring processes get completed quickly, reliably and consistently.
The Staffware Process Definer allows IT staff and business specialists tomap all business processes and to build the integrated enterprise the way inwhich the stakeholder community sees the organization.
