While the BPM Essentials are critical to getting started with BPM and achieving a fast return on your investment in the form of lower costs, greater efficiency, and better control, the early adopters of BPM are now looking beyond the basics and focusing on achieving “Breakaway BPM.” These organizations realize the value of expanding BPM across the enterprise and are poised to “breakaway” from the mainstream. These are the organizations that will use process to drive innovation and profitability and emerge as the leaders of the future.

As an early leader in BPM solutions and one of the first Breakaway BPM providers, Metastorm has helped organizations around the world successfully use the Metastorm BPM® software to power efficiency, control and agility throughout their operations.

Whether you are an existing Metastorm user or you are just getting started, you can take advantage of our Breakaway BPM capabilities by choosing to address the complete roundtrip process life-cycle right from the start.

These more advanced capabilities will ensure that you get the maximum benefit from your BPM initiatives and become a more agile organization.

Breakaway BPM capabilities available in the Metastorm Enterprise™ and the Metastorm BPM® Suite include:

• Advanced Reporting & Insight – While other business process management providers have developed reporting and analysis capabilities, Metastorm is the only BPM provider to package, ship and support a full-featured Business Intelligence (BI) capability as an integrated part of its process management suite. Metastorm Insight is the most powerful process intelligence product on the market today. Because it is a fully integrated component of the Metastorm BPM Suite , Metastorm Insight offers complete visibility across all of your business processes, allowing you to analyze both real-time and historic states. Key features include time-phased trend analysis, real-time drilldown into live process data, the ability to generate an audit trail on demand, and the ability to monitor and take immediate action to resolve exceptions, balance resources, and apply process changes.
  
  
• Advanced Modeling & Simulation – Metastorm ProVision® provides the foundation for all your process improvement initiatives and will help accelerate a successful execution. Metastorm ProVision does this by delivering end-to-end process modeling capabilities that allow you to model strategy, process and organizational responsibilities under one common framework. This superior process modeling environment is combined with industry acclaimed "ease of use" for both business and systems users.
  
  
• Advanced Business Rules Engine – In addition to our basic rules engine profiled in BPM Essentials, Metastorm offers several options for more advanced business rules management. Our Advanced Business Rules capability is built on the Microsoft BizTalk Rules Engine – giving you easy-to-use but robust rules management for maintaining large rule sets. Advanced rules can be defined and managed all within the context of the Metastorm BPM Suite interface – allowing you to maintain rules in a separate repository but easily access them across multiple processes during both process design as well as process execution. In addition, Metastorm BPM can easily integrate into an existing rules engine, such as Fair Isaac, ILOG, or Corticon.
  
  
• Advanced Integration & Legacy Control – A key differentiator of Metastorm is its ability to manage both human-centric and system-centric processes. Metastorm Integration Manager (MIM) is a full-featured integration tool designed to handle high-volume, system-based processes and to leverage even the most obscure legacy applications. Metastorm Integration Manager provides a platform for designing, executing, and monitoring system-based processes. Full featured components are available for Managed File Transfer (MFT), CICS process execution, and custom legacy system integration. What makes MIM so unique and valuable is the fact that it is an integrated application in the Metastorm BPM Suite that is able to leverage all of the Breakaway BPM capabilities – including analysis, advanced modeling, and simulation. This means that you have visibility into and can control even the most minute system tasks within the construct of a business process. You can also analyze and simulate improvements to the system elements of a process, as well as the human-centric elements of a process – giving you unsurpassed business agility.
