Ultimus True SOA BPM Server
The Ultimus True SOA BPM Server is a powerful process execution engine that monitors and controls business processes. It’s responsible for the coordination of events within and across multiple business processes, and also manages integration with existing enterprise systems for manipulation of process-related data. Human interaction with the BPM Server is supported through a robust client interface which is leveraged by the Ultimus Client modules. Back-end integration is supported through open technologies such as:
- XML
- Web Services
- Ultimus Flobots- (which facilitate connections with third-party systems)
Ultimus Process Repositories
To support adaptability and faster time to change, Ultimus provides a number of repositories that store business process artifacts and data. Flexible user interfaces provide access so that these artifacts can be modified, reused, tested and redeployed from one central location. Additionally, this functionality allows Ultimus to roll out workflow implementations faster than any other Business Process Management software provider.
