EPX is an object-oriented, Java-based automation tool that extends traditional process flow technology to business processes. Traditional process flow technology involves the passing of data or documents through a series of steps to accomplish a specific goal or complete a single process. EPX supports the integration of multiple processes, people, and systems to coordinate all the work within an enterprise.
EPX allows you to:
automate and coordinate processes within one or more departments or applications
handle exceptions that fall outside of the normal business transaction
reduce process time through automation and intelligence
expand evolutionary best practices
automate software installation
coordinate software deployment
encapsulate domain knowledge
An EPX environment consists of server and client components that include graphical tools for building and managing process flows. These process flows can be designed to intelligently route specific information to different people at any location having a connection to the Internet. Users only need to focus on performing the tasks to which they are assigned.
