Through advanced XML messaging, Version 3.0 can help companies raise productivity, lower costs, and increase revenues by quickly building Web-based systems that automate business processes across disparate corporate systems used by their employees, customers, partners and suppliers. Leading companies, including Cisco, Fujitsu, and Qualcomm, currently use Savvion technology to streamline their business operations. Start-ups are also taking advantage of BusinessManager to beat the competition to market, for example, PurchaseNet used Savvion BusinessManager to help build its trading exchange for educational institutions in less than two months. BusinessManager 3.0 increases e-business efficiencies by automating and managing business processes across enterprises.
Managers then gain visibility to their entire process chain across the extended enterprise.
Implementers of e-business solutions searching for paths to the next level of performance should look to do so by leveraging Business Process Management to connect extended enterprises. Leveraging Business Process Management benefits e-business players by finally allowing business partners to automate joint operations providing many new opportunities for increased collaboration. At the heart of BusinessManager's new capabilities is advanced XML messaging that lets business processes on one system directly interact with business processes on another system to streamline operational execution across enterprises. For example, a company can route an order directly from an inventory management business process to its supplier's order management system and then initiating a new order process in the supplier's order processing system without requiring manual intervention. Complementing this automated process with enhanced management monitoring and control capabilities, a procurement manager would be able to view the entire process from the initial order to the fulfillment process by the supplier guaranteeing the status of the order through the entire process.
