Business Process Visibility
By allowing customers to view their SOA from the eyes of IT and Business, Business Process Visibility will fundamentally change the way we look at SOA management. ~ Dan Foody, CTO
As service-oriented architecture (SOA) matures, it is becoming clear that compliance, governance or process optimization issues cannot be solved by managing an SOA from a granular service-by-service approach. Increasingly, the business is demanding that IT demonstrate it is in alignment and provide transparency on how the IT system is supporting the needs of the business.
Actional 6.0 is the first SOA management platform to deliver Business Process Visibility™ (BPV), allowing both business and IT users to achieve a consistent, process-centric view of the operational services environment. BPV enables you to manage and control your SOA from a business process perspective, thus allowing you to:
- Author, apply, and enforce process-level policy
- Seamlessly correlate between IT and business views of the same process
- View only the infrastructure supporting a specific business process
- Auto-discover a "process flow map" by observing real business transactions
SOA-enabled organizations now have complete business process visibility: across the infrastructure, by specific business criteria, and by individual process. Put simply, Progress Actional enables you to truly align Business and IT through:
- Improve business efficiency
- Optimize IT to deliver more business
- Quickly determine is business issues is IT related
- Gather business information to improve non IT related issues
- Reduce Risk
- Apply policy and rules at a process level (Sarbox, Privacy)
- Faster and easier problem resolution
- IT and Business have a context for the discussion of the issue
- IT teams drilldown from a process view to find the source of problems
