Proceedit BPaaS offers a package of 6 high value outcomes derived of the automated operation of business processes from the Cloud

proceedit offering in BPaaS services from the Cloud combines different methodology and technology services in a package of 6 high value added advantages as shown in the following figure:

proceedit cluster consultants apply Operational Excellence methodologies in order to discover, formalize, normalize and optimize the business processes of their end customers.

In a second step, proceedit technological consultants automate the optimized processes by using the best technologies in the market for building and integrate the three main architectural IT layers:

• Modernization of the legacy layer by applying ASM (Automated Software Modernization) 100 % automated and 100 % iso-functional technology.
• Creation of the SOA interoperability layer to insure the interconnection between legacy and procedural layers.
• Developing or customizing the procedural layer by massive, affordable and sustainable deploying of BPM processes on the BPMS platform our end customers decide to use.

In addition, the last step, applying micro-Outsourcing (µBPO) methodologies and technologies in order to squeeze process operating cost and to homogenize and optimize SLAs as much as possible.  

The above combined strategy in business process operations brings to the organizations three main high value advantages:

• Saves money by reducing operating costs around 70 % representing an average of US$ 0.7 net savings per process task performed.
• Allows continuous monitoring of the process operations proportioning real time KPIs to have a detailed insight and be capable to detect and react to resolve exceptions and optimize processes performance.
• Permit a deeply tracing and continuous automated audit of the process operations in order to know what, who, when, how and why the different process tasks have been performed. 

Therefore, proceedit provides a complete and differential value proposal by applying the BPaaS modality to serve process operations of their end customers from the Cloud.

ASM, SOA & BPM as the basis for the automation and integration of business processes and crucial steps in the proceedit’s value offering

In the proceedit value chain (Optimization > Automation > µOutsourcing), the second step, Automation, is the crucial one.

 

BPM & BPMS are the basic methodology and technology applied to automate business processes. A BPM Process can be understood as a movie that organizes the coordinated work of different actors: humans, applications and devices with a common aim (see the figure below).

The SOA layer facilitates the integration of business processes with the different corporate applications and content providers, not only in order to use the documents and data registered in the BPM Process, but also to allow saving documents and data created or modified along the process, and registering transactions on these applications (e.g. taking a picture) at a certain moment when the process has all the information and approvals required to do it.

Most of the business processes in organizations require heavy interaction with their legacy corporate systems. Often, these systems are still supported by Cobol applications running on old mainframe technology difficult to interact with. In these scenarios, migration to modern Java based applications running on powerful and stable x86/Linux systems is recommend. proceedit has the methodology & technology needed to perform this migration onto a 100 % automated, 100 % iso-functional and very progressive risk-free (no Big-bang) way. 

Automation is the only way to secure the potential savings obtained during the OPEX phase by fixing the working procedures and, therefore, avoiding future deviations on users’ behavior and making the operative excellence gained during the process optimization step sustainable. 

What is more, Automation is the only effective way to allow the third step of the proceedit value chain to be applied: the micro-Outsourcing of certain tasks of the process in certain circumstances defined by business rules applied on the fly.
