OpenEdge BPM

Build applications and integrations quickly with visual processes

Business Process-enabled Application Development

Key Components of OpenEdge BPMTo succeed in today’s fast paced world, businesses need to quickly respond to changing market and customer demands while coping with tight budgets and time frames. The fact is traditional rigid, hard-coded applications cannot easily support this evolution of constant change. Progress® OpenEdge® BPM offers a an intuitive and productive way to modernize and streamline your application and make your business more operationally responsive. With OpenEdge BPM, the old hard-coded processes and workflows can be extracted and replaced with configurable and flexible workflows that enable applications to be tailored for and by the consumers of the applications. We call this dynamic business-process enabled application development.

 

Progress OpenEdge BPM is the first to combine an industry-leading business process management (BPM) solution within the application development platform to simplify the development and deployment of dynamic business process applications.

Whether you are an executive, a business analyst, or an application developer, you can gain more visibility into what drives your business processes and increase your ability to rapidly customize your applications so you can provide continuous process improvement. OpenEdge BPM helps empower your business managers to drive the business – not IT.

Transform your application to drive results

Invest in the future of your business – Build competitive applications that meet your ever-changing market demands while providing a roadmap for future upgrades and add-on modules. This helps you drive the long-term sustainability of your business.

Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) – Custom applications are achieved by simply modifying the workflow models, not the business logic (i.e. code). This translates to lower costs and faster delivery times.

Reduce time-to-market (TTM) – Become more operationally responsive by staying on top of changing requirements. Faster delivery leads to faster deployment.

Regardless of the size of your business, or the industry it is in, dynamic business process management (BPM) is at the core of every responsive business and modern IT infrastructure. Discover the benefits that will result when you deploy OpenEdge BPM to build your business process applications.

  • Visibility – By explicitly capturing and modeling your business processes using simple, easy-to-use graphical modeling tools, everyone can understand how the business operates.
  • Agility – Because your business processes can be modeled instead of coded, you have the flexibility to customize and modify your processes more quickly. This lets you respond to changing requirements faster than with traditional applications.
  • Improved Processes – Application efficiencies will increase when you model and streamline your business processes, giving you a competitive edge.
  • Leverage Existing Investment – Avoid “rip and replace” projects by modernizing existing business applications to take advantage of workflow and new BPM capabilities.

Opportunities to improve your business:

  • Provide modern workflow and process management – Hard-coding workflow into your application, even though BPM was not your primary area of expertise, may have worked in the past. Today, customers demand more flexibility and continuous process improvement. OpenEdge BPM will enable you to provide industry-leading BPM capabilities with minimal disruption to your business.
  • Introduce new solutions quickly – Overcome the typical economic, technical, and business concerns that held you back from competing more aggressively in the market. Quickly turn out new business process-enabled “modules” for existing applications, or create a new BPM-enabled application to supplement other applications as an up-sell opportunity.
  • Deliver proven solutions from a reliable vendor – Capability, integration, and partnership. You can count on those three things from a company with a proven track record that you know and trust – Progress Software.

No matter what role you play in the delivery of business applications within your organization, see how OpenEdge BPM can help solve your specific needs:
