Teamworks 7 is recognized as one of the BPM industry’s most innovative products. Every Teamworks innovation, from the Shared Model Architecture to the Performance Data Warehouse and Process Optimizer, serves one goal–to make it easier for process improvement teams to succeed.
Shared Model ArchitectureTeamworks provides a unified model for every element of a process – from process diagrams to business data, user interfaces and system integration. But the Shared Model does not stop with design. All information gathered from running processes is also stored in the Shared Model. This complete model for processes not only speeds initial design, it is the foundation for on-going process optimization.  Iterative DevelopmentBPM implementations demand an iterative development approach to achieve maximum benefit. At the heart of our iterative approach is the "Playback". With the Teamworks model-driven architecture, you always have an executable implementation – you can always push "Play" to try out what you have built so far, even before the entire development is complete. The Teamworks "Playback" capability encourages IT and Business to collaborate and share feedback on the process application frequently during development – quite unlike traditional development techniques. 
Model ManagementAll process artifacts created during design and development are maintained and stored in a single process repository, therefore, managing process changes can be greatly simplified. In Teamworks a "snapshot" captures the versions of all objects that are used by a process application at a specific point in time. Using snapshots, Teamworks manages the versions of a process application as it is deployed through a standard promotion cycle.  Massive ReuseMaintaining high level of reuse is essential in a BPM program. In Teamworks “Toolkits" facilitate the sharing of common components across multiple processes and their versions. "Toolkits" can be used for common functional components (e.g., integrations, document management, etc.) as well as vertical-specific functions.  Process VisibilityThe Teamworks Portal is focused on driving improved process performance. Beyond executing tasks, Teamworks provides continuous feedback to individuals, managers and executives about the status of all tasks, processes and corporate objectives. Knowing which work is on track and which work is at risk gives teams the opportunity to change priorities and assignments and still reach performance goals. 
Advanced OptimizationFinding the problem areas in your process is not always simple. In fact, it can be quite complex. Teamworks automatically highlights the problem areas. More importantly, Teamworks also recommends solutions to process problems and steps business analysts through the changes those problems. Business analysts can quickly implement recommended changes and then conduct comparison analyses to ensure that the changes will drive the expected level of process improvement.  |
