Living Systems^® Process Suite

The Living Systems Process Suite is the Business Process Management Suite (BPMS) ideally suited for managing complex and dynamic business processes that can't always follow a predetermined path.

Capture processes with more precision and agility

The Living Systems Process Suite builds flexibility into your business processes by involving business users directly into the process design, rather than through a traditional IT process. Using business goals as an agreement space shared by business and IT specialists alike, the Process Suite very effectively facilitates the alignment between business and IT that is so critical to agile BPM teams. It lets users from both domains capture their specialist expertise within one powerful environment, which leads to a more precise, agile and consistent modeling and monitoring practice.

Bring structure to complex and dynamic processes

The Process Suite's goal-oriented modeling notation GO-BPMN lets users describe a variable and complicated process in terms of the stable goals it is meant to achieve. These intuitive models are ideal for cross-functional team collaboration. Goal-oriented models are also more versatile in execution, as they prescribe the results, but not the actual flow of a process. Instead, the predefined action alternatives will be selected and executed by the Process Suite's unique Process Navigation Engine depending on changes in the process or its context.

Improve your processes faster and cheaper

Your users can directly run the Process Suite's executable process models for immediate testing and execution – a prerequisite for truly agile process governance and evolution. Complex and costly roundtrips between modeling notation and execution language are no longer necessary. Changes can even be applied to running processes – an important asset in settings with processes that take days or weeks to execute.

Prevent inefficiencies and failures

Thanks to goal-oriented process modeling and execution, the Living Systems Process Suite enables business processes that autonomously adapt to deliberate and unexpected changes as they happen. Its autonomic Process Navigation Engine understands the process model's business goals and – based on the real-time business context – dynamically composes the optimal process path to avoid process inefficiencies and failures.

A comprehensive BPMS

The Living Systems Process Suite provides the comprehensive toolset of a BPM suite (BPMS) with the following main components:

• Process Modeler for goal-oriented process modeling
• Process Management Console for process deployment and administration
• Process Navigation Engine for autonomic process execution
• Standard Application Frameworks & Process Component Libraries
• Software Development Kit (SDK)

The Process Suite's tools are Eclipse-based, and the run-time engine can be deployed in Java EE environments.
