Living Systems® Process Suite 1.4.5 Released

New release of goal-oriented BPM Suite enhances collaboration and SOA support to aid companies in modeling and direct execution of dynamic business processes

Whitestein Technologies today announced the release of the Living Systems Process Suite 1.4.5, the only business process management (BPM) suite that is specifically built to design, execute, and continuously optimize dynamic business processes. The Living Systems Process Suite 1.4.5 offers a complete toolset to help business professionals and IT specialists work together and master process change at any time with minimal delay, disruption, and cost.

"The Living Systems Process Suite is a breath of fresh air for organizations that are looking for ways to make their process management more reactive to anticipated and unforeseen market dynamics," said Urs-Peter Oehen, CEO & Chairman of Whitestein Technologies. "Utilizing Whitestein's latest goal-oriented software technology, the Process Suite allows them to design and immediately run agile process applications that can be rapidly adapted at any time, and which themselves actively seek to optimize the process path under changing circumstances."

Key features of the Living Systems Process Suite 1.4.5 include:

• Goal-oriented processes: Process models utilize goals to directly express the business objectives of processes as characterized by business professionals. Goal-oriented modeling enables a direct and expressive representation of processes, bringing concurrency and agility to them by supporting just-in-time selection of the tactics to be used to achieve process goals. The Living Systems Process Suite 1.4.5 fully supports the predominant process modeling notation standard BPMN 1.2.
• Direct process execution: Using a model-driven approach, process teams can directly execute goal-oriented processes. Model-driven execution and automatic GUI-generation enable rapid prototyping and solution deployment to match the increasing pace and abundance of process change due to internal and external business dynamics.
• Agile process navigation: Goal-oriented process navigation implies that rather than simply executing a predefined procedural workflow, processes navigate an execution path which is autonomously determined in real-time. This agility ensures that processes are able to dynamically adapt to situational changes and in-flight process updates.
• Enhanced collaboration support: Collaboration support for business professionals and IT specialists is provided, spanning the entire modeling, execution, monitoring, and control lifecycle of business processes. The design and management of the business process life cycle in distributed teams is further enhanced by new features for model migration and merging, while new task management and delegation options allow process participants to better interact and coordinate during process execution.
• Integration with SOA: The Living Systems Process Suite 1.4.5 can flexibly invoke services and map data between processes and services to reuse existing resources. Further, processes can be exposed as WSDL Web services to enable inbound service invocation calls to trigger process functionality.
• Comprehensive toolset: The Living Systems Process Suite provides the complete set of tool components needed to design and deploy BPM applications in an enterprise setting, including the seamlessly integrated Process Design Suite for process modeling, execution, and administration.
• Updated user interface: The Living Systems Process Suite 1.4.5 features a substantially revised user interface that makes it even easier to graphically model fully executable process models and to deploy and run them with a few clicks of the mouse. A new visual data modeler greatly increases the ease of modeling and in-flight manipulation of application data, allowing business professionals to participate further in the design of their business processes. A WYSIWYG-editor further simplifies the customization of end-user screens.
