Process Accelerators What’s New in the February 2013 Release (11.1.1.6.3)

This new PA release includes Previews for Employee Onboarding (EOB) and of Business Account Opening (BAclip_image002O), as well as customer-driven updates to all existing PAs. Also, a new Installer now supports the installation process.

PA previews showcase functionality that Oracle BPM customers and prospects can explore, thus matching their requirements to upcoming PAs:

  • The new Business Account Opening (BAO) preview enables financial services providers to streamline the deposit account opening process for small and medium size businesses. It provides sample customer facing web pages with a guided user interface for entering and submitting a new product application, including services selection, document submission, and funding details. BAO moves the application through the documentation review, identity verification, background checking, account opening, funding, and activation stages. A BAM operational dashboard is also available as part of this preview.
  • The new Employee Onboarding (EOB) preview enables the provisioning process required to make new hires productive when they arrive at their first day of work. The process scope of the EOB preview includes a new hire acceptance of an offer; a hiring manager provisioning using templates of services mapped to job. Services such as office assignment and IT system provisioning, are then provisioned by the Internal Service Request (ISR) PA. The hiring manager can track the status of that request including escalations to meet the hiring date requirements.

All existing PA have been enhanced for this release. Major improvements include:

  • Travel Request Management has new cost elements, Departure and Destination locations, driven by maintainable tables, providing more accurate travel analysis and auditing. These improvements have been driven by customer requirements, including those driven by the extended deployment footprint within Oracle.
  • More out-of-the-box configuration has been added to Document Routing and Approval, to match approval patterns in use at different organizations.
  • Public Sector Incident Reporting has been enhanced with mobile application skins for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry, Web Center integration for enhanced collaboration between case workers, Geospatial Search and proximity calculation capability for more effective map based incident pattern analysis, and NIEM reporting.
  • Enhancements to the Financial Services Loan Origination (FSLO) PA include selection of preferred notification policies by loan applicants, a dynamically generated checklist to simplify the document collection process by a loan officer, and optional electronic acceptance of loan agreements.

The latest version of Oracle BPM 11g PS6 introduces a set of new features that are of extreme value for the BPM lifecycle – José Afonso Pires, Link Consulting

imageOne of the challenges with most BPM project is in the way the business users and the analysts are involved in the projects. How is the process modeled, how are the interfaces defined and how is it that the analyst can preview the end result during the early analysis phase. With Oracle BPM the analyst can do all this within the Process Composer, a web based tool that is specifically designed for analysts, but whose artifacts are 100% shared with the development team.

On top of the BPMN 2.0 support for process modeling, the Composer now supports the definition of user interfaces using web forms. The analyst can define the information that should be displayed on each form and how it is organized within the web page. But there is more to it. It is also possible to play the process within composer. The analyst can start the process, fill in the information on each web form, and see how the process will move forward. This is a huge benefit for almost all BPM projects, as it will allow analyst to share with business users a functional prototype of the final solution. It will also help establishing the correct expectation earlier on, when a project is being planned. The stakeholders can now better understand what will be the result of the project.

These new features will also allow faster deployment of BPM projects. Simpler processes can be delivered much faster based on web forms, and new versions can be delivered afterwards enhancing the process design and the interfaces based on feedback from users, allowing an agile like approach to BPM projects.

BPM 11g PS6 greatest things are the improved web based development experience with process composer- Torsten Winterberg, OPITZ CONSULTING

OPITZ CONSULTING is already using Oracle BPM Suite 11g in several successful projects. We wereimage very pleased to see the investment Oracle is putting into this tooling, with PS6 being more a major release than just a patch set. We took part in the PS6 beta program and therefore had the chance to test all the new functionality in detail. Greatest things are the improved web based development experience with process composer, which became much more mature. Player is a great feature to quickly understand modeling consequences. Most important for us are the new case management features. A bunch of customers is waiting for this new level in bpm projects – interesting times are ahead. Torsten Winterberg, OPITZ CONSULTING

Collecting diagnostic information for BPM by Mark Nelson

From time to time, you may experience some kind of issue in your BPM environment. Issues could be caused by a wide variety of reasons – changes to the environment, the pattern of load on the environment, product defects, bad process design, insufficient resources allocated to the environment, network instability – just to name a few! bpmdiag1

When something goes wrong, it is important to know how to collect the diagnostic information that will be needed to analyse the problem, work out the root cause, and come up with a resolution. In some cases, you may be able to do this analysis yourself. In other cases you may need to involve specialists like network engineers, directory administrators, or Oracle Support, for example.
