Why Choose Fujitsu for BPM - Top Five Reasons

Reason #1: The Only BPM Provider with Patented Automated Process Discovery Capabilities
The traditional approach to process discovery involves mapping out processes in Visio or in some process modeling tool based on extensive interviews with the business stakeholders and can take months on end to complete, by which point the process has either evolved or is obsolete. The Automated Process Discovery capabilities accelerates these projects by visualizing the "as is" process as it "really is" - based on evidence from existing systems that interact with the process - in a matter of days. You can quickly visualize the most commonly traversed paths, the least common paths, repeated steps, loopbacks, the cost of each process, and compare process performance across regions or departments. These unique capabilities significantly reduce the time and effort involved in getting started with process improvement - from months to days.

Reason #2: Proactively "Sense and Respond" to Business Change. Adapt to Situations with Dynamic BPM
A unified dashboard with snapshots of "My Tasks", "My Processes", "My Reports", "My Team Reports", KPIs, and Alerts makes it easier to always have a pulse on business or project performance. The ability to quickly drill-down into the specifics of an issue, compare team members’ performance, identify the right person to bring in to resolve the issue based on past performance recommendations, even look at the potential "future workload" for any particular team member, before reshuffling assignments to get things done optimally makes Interstage BPM stand out from the crowd.

True flexibility comes from not being shackled to pre-defined processes. You have to be able to adapt and respond to situations as required. A business user can quickly sub-task work to different team members who, in turn, can create a chain of sub-tasks - even if this means veering from the original process - to respond to a particular situation and get work done. Users can track the flow of work through the newly defined path at any given time. Our ability to provide business users with the right balance between structure and flexibility in processes is a powerful differentiator.

Reason #3: Capture Real Process Knowledge. Standardize on Process Patterns that Work
With extreme process flexibility, comes the need for complete process visibility. Interstage BPM visualizes and analyzes these hybrid process patterns - cases that were a combination of a pre-defined process coupled with steps that were dynamically created to address as specific situation. It visualizes the normal path, the exceptions to the norm, and the inefficiencies complete with time and cost-related metrics. It lets users drill down into and analyze specific cases. The visualization brings process patterns that really work for the business to the surface and provides organizations with the opportunity to refine them further and adopt them as the new standard.

Reason #4: Complete Standards-based BPM Suite - On-premise or via the Cloud
Interstage BPM is one of the only BPM solutions that deliver true multi-tenancy. Enterprise can choose to install Interstage BPM on their own premises and leverage the application partitioning capabilities to house multiple process-based applications on a single instance of the software. This significantly reduces cost of ownership. The Fujitsu Cloud BPM platform (www.interstagebpm.com) also leverages these capabilities so that organizations can also avoid the hassle of installing and maintaining software. Complete process life-cycle management capabilities are delivered through this approach; not just the process modeling capabilities as are offered by some vendors.

Reason #5 - Trusted & Innovative Software Partner with Stellar Global Customer Support
