Comprehensive System-Based Integration and Business Process Management
How does IT become more responsive to the business, pursue its strategic technology direction such as modernisation and SOA, while containing costs? Metastorm Integration Manager (MIM) gives you the ability to optimise and extend IT resources and meet your seemingly conflicting objectives. Through MIM organisations can rapidly and cost effectively integrate, share data and manage system-centric processes across a broad array of modern and more obscure legacy and mainframe applications, databases, and file systems. MIM uniquely allows you to effectively bridge batch and real-time processing, handle the large transaction volumes of the most demanding organisations, operate in a highly distributed environment, and closely interact with Metastorm’s complementary BPA, EA, and human focused BPM capabilities.
Capabilities and Benefits:
-
- Featured Content
- Benefit: Achieve advanced system integration and system-based process management from one cost effective technology solution.
Historically system integration and process implementation has been difficult, costly, and has required multiple technologies. MIM provides a single platform for batch and real-time system-based integration, processes and management. MIM delivers this across a broad range of technologies and computing environments, from the most modern to most legacy oriented.
- Benefit: Optimise and extend the life of existing solutions while allowing greater agility of your data.
Address batch-oriented data movement and integration needs through a secure, automated, high-speed file transfer and integration platform. Provide your organisation robust enterprise management, control, integration exiting, audit-ability, and rich exception handling for batch-oriented data movement and integration.
- Benefit: Achieve real-time data and system interaction without unwanted costs.
To keep up with the rapid pace of today's business, you desire real-time integration into a growing number of systems and applications. MIM makes delivering a high performance, real-time integration backbone across a heterogeneous environment easy. For the more challenging legacy and mainframe environments (such as iSeries, zSeries and CICS), MIM provides the tools to quickly service-enable these systems and make them critical real-time participants
- Benefit: Improved responsiveness leads to greater insight, decisions, and higher customer service levels.
By turning the act of file changes and data movement into business "events", MIM provides comprehensive and high-performance process-oriented solutions for better managing collaboration across real-time and batch integration scenarios, as well as diverse systems from Windows to various UNIX/Linux variants, to iSeries and zSeries platforms.
- Benefit: Comply with regulatory requirements and required SLAs. Resolve problems quickly through access to immediate information.
Two of the biggest challenges IT faces are monitoring process performance and quickly diagnosing and recovering from a failure somewhere in their diverse environment. MIM comprehensively collects and reports on business performance data in real time. A graphical web-based interface provides immediate access to a detailed audit trail.
- Benefit: Automatically manage exceptions while improving response times, thereby reducing costs and improving customer satisfaction.
Even the best planned technical environments experience hiccups. System errors and downtime can create major headaches, not to mention large business risks and costs. MIM takes exception management to a new level by easily allowing you to define how exceptions should be handled and then allowing MIM to automatically manage and recover from them. You are involved only when necessary.
- Benefit: Obtain lower management, training, and outage times. Achieve greater levels of security and compliance.
Because technology has become so mission critical to business, it is common for organisations to desire 1000's of points of integration. MIM's point-and-click operations view allows comprehensive management of 2-1000's of "integration nodes" across Windows®, UNIX, and Linux environments. Advanced, granular access control empowers personnel to conduct self-service management and recovery based on their specific IT authorities and responsibilities.
- Benefit: Transform integrated system transactions into a highly collaborative, cohesive and strategic asset of the organisation.
Integration of MIM into Metastorm's other BPA, EA and human oriented BPM capabilities allows organisations to tie system based integration and processes into the broader context of the business strategy, enterprise architecture and related execution initiatives.
- Benefit: MIM's strong architecture provides a solution that you can count on - comprehensive, modern, fast, reliable and secure.
MIM is designed to meet the most demanding of performance, scalability, reliability and security standards. Auto restart and automatic exception management provide additional levels of reliability and performance missing in other solutions. MIM's ability to run in a very broad range of environments (Windows, UNIX/Linux , iSeries and zSeries platforms) and its SOA and web services orientation provides a broad solution that will help you more rapidly modernise and conform to broader IT trends.
