The container runtime, which is available to all BAW customers with no additional purchase required, increases speed and flexibility of deployment. In addition, if you have installed Workflow as part of the IBM Cloud Pak for Automation, you are licensed for Red Hat OpenShift, which provides end-to-end logging, monitoring, and metering, along with all the other Cloud Pak capabilities of capture, content, decisions, and tasks.
Intelligent Task Prioritization
Another new capability you can use is Intelligent Task Prioritization, which helps maximize an organization's productivity by automatically prioritizing tasks in a way that results in the best overall performance for your team. Using history and machine learning, this feature can predict a skill score and a performance score for every task in the worker's task list relative to all the other workers. The resulting list is sorted with high valued, high-skill and high-performance tasks at the top of their list. The worker can then prioritize their time on the highest valued tasks leading to an overall more effective workplace.
Business-Centric Dashboards
Business users can now get immediate insight into their operations with meaningful, professional-looking dashboards to display process and case business data. IBM Business Automation Insights is now included as a supporting program of Business Automation Workflow. With Business Automation Insights, business users can capture the events that are generated by Business Automation Workflow business processes and cases, aggregate them into business-relevant key performance indicators (KPIs), and display them on meaningful dashboards to analyze business data.
IBM Process Federation Server – included for free now
You can Install IBM Process Federation Server, now included in BAW at no extra charge, to create a federated process environment that give business users an easy way to consolidate all of their work with a single point of access to their task list and launch list.
