Process Management Collaboration Using SharePoint®
Microsoft SharePoint® is an important platform for the collaboration of virtual project teams. This is increasingly used by organizations. SharePoint® offers innovative combinations of workflow, forms and content management functionalities. SharePoint® structures information in document libraries with versioned documents. Documents can be any type of files like Word documents, Excel® sheets or Visio® diagrams.
The documents can be associated with workflows to build a Process Governance Process like e.g. a request-to-change procedure. SharePoint® has built-in functions such as versioning control and authorization management for documents. This simplifies the governance of policy compliance e.g. like SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act) for BPM solutions in the discipline of GRC. BPM-Xchange® delivers added value to SharePoint®
  • BPM-X Converter middleware uses SharePoint® webservices to integrate other BPM tools like Aris® with the BPM collaboration platform
  • BPM-X Designer supports method-compliant modeling of Visio® diagrams in SharePoint®

Microsoft SharePoint® is offered in two product variants, which are both supported by BPM-Xchange®:

  • Microsoft Office SharePoint® Services (MOSS)
  • Windows SharePoint® Services (WSS)

The MOSS product has extended capabilities regarding collaboration services.
