Savvion Process Asset Management Server
Share and Socialize Your Ideas for Business Process Improvement
Progress® Savvion Process Asset Management Server delivers a complete integrated solution for your business analyst teams to manage and reuse a library of process models and associated components such as adapters, data slots and application forms. This reuse considerably reduces application design and development time, and helps enforce enterprise standards and best practices for business process management.
Savvion Process Asset Management Server extends the core capabilities of Savvion Process Modeler by enabling teams of business analysts to collaborate on process modeling projects using a powerful process repository. The repository stores, manages and version-controls libraries of process models, process simulations and process documentation, encouraging enterprise-wide reuse.
The Savvion Process Asset Management Server, part of the Savvion BusinessManager suite, manages versioning of the process models and the simulation data generated by the models - assuring information integrity. The version control system also provides you with a detailed audit trail, delivering a complete documented history of each version of the model. These audit trails are crucial for Sarbanes Oxley and other industry regulatory compliance. With this level of granular control, you can develop and maintain libraries in a service-oriented architecture (SOA), guaranteeing standardization and conformity of process execution across the enterprise.
Savvion Process Asset Management Server is ideally suited for use by enterprise business process teams at the corporate or division level. It efficiently brings together the business analyst and IT team members around a common BPM methodology that begins with the business owner and their process models.
Savvion Process Asset Management Server extends the core capabilities of Savvion Process Modeler by enabling teams of business analysts to collaborate on process modeling projects using a powerful process repository. Key benefits of the business process analysis with Savvion Asset Manager include:
- Collaborate with Team Members - Business analysts work as collaborative teams to articulate, simulate and document processes. Also, when models stored in Savvion Process Asset Management Server are selected to be deployed as production applications, they can accessed by Savvion BPM Studio, our IT development environment, which seamlessly enables collaborative design between business analysts and IT technologists.
- Manage Assets from a Single Location – Every time you build a new process model, you're effectively capturing corporate intellectual property in a centralized repository of process designs. The value of Savvion Process Asset Management Server is two-fold: You have reliable access to policies and procedures currently in use, and you have version control for those processes undergoing development. This central repository coordinates the storage and lifecycle management of department, division, enterprise process.
- Ensure Compliance - While business process improvement is about managing change, process lifecycle management is about managing the history of change. Having an audit trail of processes and process simulation data, enables business owners to audit changes made to a process as optimization and change occurs. This becomes especially important as organizations seek compliance with regulatory standards such as Sarbanes-Oxley.
- Quickly Find Process Models – Detailed business process search functionality allows users to search and browse for process models in the Savvion Process Asset Management Server repository. The search mechanism is deeply integrated to the process metadata model which makes it easy for people to find models by category, application, business function, or designer.
Savvion Process Asset Management Server delivers a complete, integrated set of features:

People can “check out” ideas from the server, make their own notations, and “return them” when they are able to reconnect. There's no need to stay connected to the server so you can take your work with you.
