The company introduced its Business Process Framework (BPF), which is designed to substantially reduce application development cost and time to market for case management solutions, enabling customers and partners to accelerate development and deployment of industry-specific solutions.
Additionally, the company announced a joint program with selected ValueNet partners to address a wide range of customer requirements. The first partners to join are FileNet ValueNet partners Virginia-based TriTek Solutions and South African-based Ovations, Inc.
Both TriTek and Ovations will use the FileNet BPF as well as their own application development frameworks to offer BPM-based solutions leveraging the power, scalability and performance of FileNet's P8 platform. FileNet, along with TriTek and Ovations, recognize market demands for multiple application development platforms and tools. FileNet BPF is based on J2EE technology; TriTek's solution runs on J2EE using the STRUTS standard and Ovations' solution is architected with a Microsoft .NET approach. All 3 approaches use the FileNet P8 platform, API and Web Services architecture.
"TriTek and Ovations have a successful track record of helping large companies rapidly develop and deploy FileNet based BPM solutions that meet their unique and critical business needs," said Martyn Christian, chief marketing officer for FileNet. "Through this collaborative effort, FileNet will be able to extend distribution of its market-leading BPM technology, to help companies improve operational efficiencies and optimize business performance."
FileNet P8 uniquely combines process, content and connectivity, creating a highly responsive, integrated and event-based platform.
FileNet's BPF along with the TriTek and Ovation's templates enable organizations to more rapidly and cost effectively develop customized BPM of applications that:
* Automate and streamline processes.
* Improve operational visibility.
* Improve accountability by providing audit trails to determine how and
why decisions are made.
* Link systems so that important events automatically trigger alerts or
kick-off workflows, allowing organizations to react immediately to
critical events.
* Streamline collaboration, enabling organizations to share and analyze
data.
* Eliminate multiple data entry and wasteful paper trails.
"Once again, FileNet is making the right moves to enhance their position as the leader in BPM offerings. FileNet's template strategy involving premier channel offerings, as well as, their own BPF application framework allows customers the opportunity to select the offering that best suits their needs," said Jack Finnegan, CEO, TriTek.
"The frameworks, no matter what development platform you favor, accelerate development and deployment of solutions and leverage the power of the FileNet P8 platform," said Doug Reynolds, president, Ovations. "FileNet's template strategy takes the focus off of development platforms and languages and puts it squarely back on required functionality."
