Hi,
I'm currently taking a course about "AgilePoint", I've talked about it in my previous post.
Currently we are on version 4, which is MOSS2007 compliant.
I'm really thrilled about some new functionalities, especially about some that no other BPM product can offer --> Process Migration.
What is this about?
Well, let's take an example, the most classical one: Expense Report.
One starts by filling out an InfoPath form and waits for approval. In our current process it is the direct manager that gives approval.
Now we want to change something to this process; as from the moment the total value exceeds 1000EUR it is the financial controller that has to give approvel instead of the direct manager. So we change it nevertheless there is already one running process. Now, with the use of the "Enterprise Manager" we can suspend (pause) a running process and migrate the running ones. With an interface to map previous process steps to the current process steps we can easily migrate these running processes.
This is really a very cool feature that in my opinion none of the other BPM key players can offer.
More news will follow!
Stef.
