The processes in these examples then follow a prescribed path, aligned with the company's business rules. Users can also adjust the automated processes with ProcessFlow Integrator's ProcessFlow Designer component, which uses a graphical user interface and drag-and-drop functionality to build and alter flows without needing to understand programming languages.
ProcessFlow Integrator helps simplify integration of Lawson applications to non-Lawson application systems. It essentially "unlocks" data from where it resides and allows it to be used within another application. It embeds IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender, which helps deliver consistent data whether the information exists in an external web service, or a human resources, financial, supply chain or other business application.
"ProcessFlow Integrator can help eliminate many of the business process headaches our Lawson M3 customers face," said Pramod Mathur, technical product director, Lawson Software. "Not only will ProcessFlow Integrator help companies reduce many manual processes, saving companies time, but it also will help maintain accuracy of their information, which can help reduce order and billing errors."
