Salesforce.com is offering a process management capability to make it easier to devise business processes for deployment on the Force.com platform.
Visual Process Manager is the result of Salesforce.com's recent acquisition of UK firm Informavores. It has four components, including the process designer, a "wizard builder" for creating step-by-step guides for end-users, a simulation tool for testing processes before they go live, and a process execution engine.
Force.com Visual Process Manager enables Force.com users to design business processes via a visual design tool. Such processes could include a product issue resolution process or processes for employee on-boarding or performance reviews.
Visual Process manager includes a process designer, for designing business processes, as well as a process wizard builder, to design wizards that walk end-users step-by-step through a business process. A process simulator is featured for simulating complex processes before deployment while a real-time process engine runs processes and scales to meet business needs.
"What the process manager does is it lets our customers automate these business processes by simply drawing that process just as you'd draw a process on a white board," said Ariel Kelman, vice president of marketing for Force.com at Salesforce.com. "Our Cloud Computing platform will instantly run that process in the Cloud."
