IBM® Business Process Manager Advanced is a unified platform for analyzing and improving business operations through a combination of business process and basic case management, service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business process analytics. It includes Process Server, Process Center and a visual design environment for process, case and integration requirements. It supports process improvement across a spectrum of work patterns, from highly automated, straight-through processing to dynamic unstructured processes.
