IDS Scheer, a provider of business process management (BPM) software, this week announced updates to two of its analytics products.
With its ARIS Performance Dashboard 4.1, IDS Scheer is targeting a more inviting user experience for executives who want to monitor the key performance indicators (KPIs) that govern their companies' processes. To that end, IDS Scheer used Adobe Flex 2 application development technology to create a graphical, WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) representation of business processes. Through the new technology, on-screen process maps show the performance metrics associated with each of the steps displayed.
In Process Performance Manager version 4.1, which helps users measure, visualize, and optimize the performance of business processes, an enhanced intelligence engine enables users to better identify process bottlenecks, the company said.
Target customers for the modules include businesses that already use ARIS components to design and document their processes, as well as those that simply want to monitor existing processes. The Control module of the ARIS platform, which includes the Performance Dashboard and the Process Performance Manager, extracts relevant information from enterprise systems to create KPIs.
