aa OmniFlow
Is a platform-independent, scalable Business Process Management solution that enables automation of organizational business processes. Built using open technologies, it has seamless integration abilities allowing it to be introduced into any IT infrastructure.

OmniFlow is designed to ease the creation, deployment, modification and management of Business Processes with no programming effort and differentiates with other Business Process Management products through its ability to deploy rapidly to automate a complete process.

Enterprise Applications:

Process Automation & De-risking:
This Rule and Role-based engine feature of OmniFlow maps onto the process, its participants, business rules, and exceptions. It has a strong monitoring and control mechanism for generating quick turn around time, transparency, and higher productivity.

Outsourced Process Management:
OmniFlow’s rapid implementation cycles, flexibility in adapting to changing process requirements, ease of use, and scalability in handling one out of many processes provides BPO companies rapid roll-out of proof of concept and running of a pilot at low cost.

Process Centralization and Outsourcing:
OmniFlow reduces the load of handling structured routine tasks by centralizing the process across branch locations. This process ensures the complete process definition and documentation. OmniFlow is implemented both; at the parent site and at the outsourced site.

Extending the Enterprise:
This offers end-to-end process management, control, and a quantum jump in productivity. It facilitates the organization to offload complex and critical transactions management internally to the dealers and agents, simultaneously maintaining total process control.

Graphical Tool for Process Definition - OmniFlow Process Modeler 
Omniflow provides a graphical tool that provides designing of business processes in a flow chart fashion with clear indication of the task queues, conditions, and sequences in which tasks must be performed from initiation to completion. It allows users to design workflow processes with steps in series or in parallel. It allows the definition of all the activities in a process, their relationship, various processing rules, actions, work to be performed, etc. It also provides compiled reports to measure correctness of the definition. This component is responsible for giving a logical structure to the routing sequence, to be adopted by the workitems. In short, it may be defined as the Process Configuring Tool.
 
Desktop for monitoring Processes - OmniFlow Process Manager
OmniFlow provides a user-friendly desktop for administration and monitoring of all business process. It gives various tools to administrator for controlling and refining business processes. It is further empowered by the extensive report generation capabilities, to measure the performance of each and every component of the process.
 
Workflow Engine
It provides the facility to automate business process for increased productivity, efficiency and control. It controls workflow processes and maintains the integrity of process definitions. It provides standard workflow operations such as initiation of work-items, processing rules, sequential, parallel and ad-hoc routing of work-items, etc. The Workflow Server carries out certain periodic housekeeping functions to maintain the integrity of the workflow processes, check for expiry of work-items and determine if any process is stalled. The Workflow Server is designed to cater to high-volume transaction processing environments, by providing Load Balancing to prevent bottlenecks. It also provides a host of other operations including, automatic triggering of external agents/ applications, and maintenance functions like automatic diversion of work-items based on expiry/ priority/ threshold, etc. The Workflow Server has been further empowered by Event Logging capabilities, thus providing a transaction log. Engine is based on server side JAVA based technology. It is designed to serve small as well as big corporate. It is capable of handling thousands of transactions per day. It supports ORACLE, MSSQL and DB2. It has its own application server, which handles session management, database license management etc.
 
Process Client and WorkDesk
OmniFlow provides a standard desktop for workitem processing. It allows users to log in their respective Queues, based on assigned rights, and process the pending workitems in the selected Queue. Omniflow also provides a standard viewer for the workitems, which combines the capabilities of a Workflow and a DMS System. It provides some standard tools like Check-Lists, Exceptions, Form View, Document View, Actions, etc, there-by allowing users to process workitems more efficiently. It also provides an easy mechanism of the integrating with other external Applications. It is further empowered by various other features like, Reminders, Referrals, Searches, Work-Audits, Document Check-in/ Check-outs, etc. The OmniFlow Process Client has been built in such a way, that it facilitates the launching of other customized Viewers for workitems. This component is also available in a Web-enabled version, in the form of OmniFlow Process Client-Web.
 
Configuration Server
The configuration server is a multi-threaded server that manages multiple instances of applications, external or internal to the OmniFlow System. The standard internal Applications managed by this component include the mailing, printing, faxing and archiving utilities. All these and the external applications (like scheduled programs), need to be registered on the CS, thus allowing the configuration server to launch these applications and remotely monitor the performance of each of these in terms of number of workitems processed by each, load at various instants, etc. It also provides the flexibility of starting and stopping registered applications, depending on the workload.
