Hi all,
If we ignore that a BPM has tasks, what are the benifits of having a process instead of direct service invoke with a doc publish and trigger??

Add to this list…

1. BPM allows us to submits a step if it fails
2. BPM allows us to monitor and analyse the performance of a process
3. it alloes us to modify pipeline and resubmit (even if the BPM has failed)
4. define KPIs…
   next???

• Better error and exception handling
• Increases the effectiveness of your business
• Allows you to improve your business processes

Hi guys,

IMHO, the benefit that BPM brings over a direct service invoke is clarity to the business, which is largely and often overlooked. BPM allows the business and IT to communicate in a similar language, providing higher signal fidelity (reduced loss of message).

More over, the Software AG webMethods Toolkit, especially the newest release, provides a more complete environment, keeping more of the assets within a single environment.
