IBM WebSphere Lombardi Edition

WebSphere Lombardi Edition is the simple BPM solution in use providing creation and administration of applications for implementation of business processes using a single platform at reduction of time, costs and risks. The graphical interface allows owners of processes and business users it is simpler to unroll and improve the business processes.

Thanks to the built-in monitors and the analysis in real time, the company can obtain information necessary for understanding of bottlenecks and reasons of inefficiency for their exception. WebSphere Lombardi Edition supports the business processes requiring the high levels of use and cooperation. And the general architecture of modeling provides cooperation between business divisions and IT services.

• Well is suitable for implementation of the business processes assuming high extent of involvement of end users and frequent changes
• The unified unified environment for design, accomplishment, monitoring and process optimization
• The graphic working space for fast creation of processes, joint work and continuous making changes simplifying these tasks for all participants of processes

• The former name of a product - Lombardi Teamworks.
  • Lombardi Teamworks is a complex software platform of business process management (Business Process Management Software; BPMS), the created Lombardi for the help to the companies in development, administration and improvement of the processes which are the cornerstone of their business.

Solvable tasks / system class

The product Lombardi Teamworks belongs to the class of Business Process Management Suite (BPMS) differing in the fact that these processes:

• End-to-end. Process passes through a number of organization units and information systems.
• Often changing. It is difficult to support such processes the traditional software tools requiring repeated writing and compilation of low-level codes.
• Mass. Processes are executed regularly, with participation of many people and systems
• Are focused on interaction of people. The most widespread methodologies of the description, for example BPEL, were of little use for formalization of business processes with participation of personnel. It is rather difficult to automate such processes, using only traditional management tools of the enterprise level. Emergence of the BPM systems became response to a number of the problems caused by the fact that historically developed approaches on creation of information systems were of little use for automation of end-to-end business processes.

Management systems business for processes are result of further improvement of the systems of the class Workflow, and unlike them, contain a number of additional functions: the operational reporting (BAM - Business Activity Monitoring), optimization appliances of processes and integration with external systems. These innovations allowed to expand limits of applicability of the systems of this class and to increase their efficiency.

There is a set of the software products facilitating business process automation: applications for modeling of processes, creation of forms, means of EAI and report generation and others, but only Lombardi TeamWorks is able to execute all this feature set within a single platform.

Advantages to business

The leading world companies select Teamworks as the corporate BPM platform thanks to a combination of the unique advantages provided by this system from the Global 2000 list:

• Effective management of changes. Teamworks is the most perfect platform of development and improvement of the process focused applications, the providing "efficiency of a full stroke". The architecture of General Model is basis for achievement of this efficiency. It represents the platform for collective work which does not have equal on ensuring speed of modeling and process automation.
• Performance maximum. The Teamworks platform provides end-to-end transparency and an ability to manage with all types of processes: from technology transactions before monitoring of events and processing of exclusive situations. The functions of accomplishment of processes which are built in the Teamworks platform, trackings of performance and monitoring give to the user the chance to see all range of the available problems and also to receive recommendations about their elimination.
• Scalability of industrial level. The Teamworks platform is a market leader on support of industry standards and ensuring scalability of level of the enterprise – two crucial requirements for the companies entering the rating of Global 2000. Support of standards is of great importance for ensuring compatibility of systems and protection of capital investments. TeamWorks is the leader in every respect here: from deep support of service-oriented architecture (SOA; Service Oriented Architecture) before adaptation of the latest standards of modeling (BPMN) and support of key application development environments (Eclipse). The scalability is the key to success in automation of critical business processes and also in distribution of practice of use of BPM in other corporate processes.

Lombardi Teamworks provides to the user the following feature set:

• Workflow (flow of works) -Users receive tasks according to a process model, their accomplishment is controlled by a system.
• Modeling -By means of the environment of modeling of processes it is possible to set separate transactions of process in the visual mode, to implement rules and events. Usually it is done by the business analyst.
• Event managements -Are registered all significant business events and their processing in process is executed, and if necessary external systems are notified.
• Data management - In scale vsy systems occurs data processing about processes which are stored on statistics server.
• Business rules -The editor of business rules has the user-friendly and evident graphical interface that considerably simplifies their development and editing.
• Analytics - Screen forms provide analytical reports about efficiency of works which can be used further for management and process optimization.
• Metrics - collecting of measure values of performance which are used in monitors and the reporting Is performed (both in a system, and in external systems).
• The user interface - the User-friendly interface in the form of the portal allows to see the task list, to perform tasks, to redistribute tasks and to analyze reports.
• Application integration - the Environment of modeling of services simplifies creation of interfaces via which to be performed a remote call of other systems and data exchange between them.
