AgilePoint Suite Business Process Management System (BPMS) delivers a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for creating highly adaptable business processes to enable agile business automation. AgilePoint builds on a highly manageable “layered” architecture powered by a unique metadata-driven framework. This advancement enables IT to abstract any .NET objects into process-based IT assets that can be assembled in Visio directly to form executable workflow or composite applications.
The result of such metadata-driven dynamic framework is an increase in productivity efficiency and competitive differentiation among corporations. With AgilePoint, IT maintains the technology infrastructure while business managers control the business processes.
Built upon standard Microsoft Products and Technologies, AgilePoint leverages and integrates with SharePoint, Visio, Word, Excel, InfoPath, Form Server, Exchange Server, BizTalk Server, SQL Server, CRM, Axapta, Windows Workflow Foundation, Windows Communication Foundation, OpenXML, Visual Studio, and more. With AgilePoint, any business can empower its people to deliver innovations with unprecedented simplicity and manageability, making “People Ready” a reality.
