Roundtrip BPM, Business Process Management Suite

Metastorm delivers more than just software. Through years of experience across over 1,000 clients, Metastorm has developed a rich set of “accelerators” which allow you to get the most from your investment and achieve rapid time to value.

Metastorm Process Pods®

Time to value is a key requirement of today’s process improvement efforts. To achieve this, such efforts require rapid implementation and immediate, measurable impact.

To help customers accelerate their process improvement initiatives and reap the rewards as rapidly as possible, Metastorm has created the Metastorm Process Pod® program. Metastorm Process Pods are designed to provide a rich set of solution frameworks that serve as ‘implementation accelerators' for Metastorm BPM®, Metastorm Integration Manager, and Metastorm ProVision® process improvement initiatives.

The templates include Process Maps and associated Forms. These are intended as a starting point for developing your own BPM solutions and can be configured and extended to meet your unique process needs. Learn More.

Function/Feature	Metastorm BPM	Other Software
Advanced and Unified Process Modeling / Design – All key components necessary to implement a process – process model, rules, forms, integration, etc. are unified into one common tool—no need to bind them together.
Intuitive, Business Oriented Process Design – Metastorm BPM's strong business orientation allows business users to better engage in defining improved processes. Technical users are given technical tools to accomplish more technical tasks.
Integrated Forms Design – For faster implementation leverage an integrated forms designer (or other form tools if desired).
Support for Broad Process Participation – Support of a very wide array of client user interfaces – portals (such as Microsoft SharePoint and Java), to desktop applications (such as Microsoft Outlook, Word and Excel) to custom clients – allows broad deployment and participation.
Advanced Task Monitoring and Management – Personalized "to do" and "watch" lists, integrated task tracking, and context sensitive dynamic forms improves effectiveness of implemented processes.
Painless Integration to Diverse Systems – Desktop apps, enterprise applications (e.g., ERPs), legacy systems, and mainframes.
Tight Integration to Desktop Applications – "Tight integration" / "binding" with Word, Excel, Outlook and other personal productivity applications provides superior support for human-based processes.
Strong Document Management Support – Quick and deep integration into a broad range of document management systems, including SharePoint, Documentum, Hummingbird, Interwoven and others.
Strong Support for More than Human Processes – Metastorm Integration Manager (MIM) supports the most demanding of system-based processes, or the system oriented components of a human-based process.
Advanced Process Intelligence – Built in native process analytics and reporting plus easy integration of a broad range of third party BI and reporting tools.
Integrated Business Process Analysis and Simulation – Live data collected from Metastorm BPM can be analyzed through Metastorm ProVision’s advanced BPA and simulation capabilities. To-be process improvements modeled in Metastorm ProVision can be easily pushed to Metatorm BPM for execution.
Integrated Enterprise Architecture – Artifacts modeled as part of Metastorm ProVision’s broader Enterprise Architecture capability (such as data classes) can be leveraged by Metastorm BPM to achieve even more rapid deployment. Also those implementing processes can achieve greater insight into, and reusability of, enterprise assets.
The Right Architecture – An architecture that: (a) meets high performance, scalability and security standards; (b) complements rather than disrupts what’s in place and (c) supports broader IT initiatives such as SOA and improved governance.
Process Pods and Templates – An extensive array of Metastorm Process Pods® and templates provide best practices and solution frameworks to accelerate time to value.
