BP Logix has announced the availability of Process Director 2.0, promising organisations the ability to embrace the predictive element in business processes, leading to greater efficiency and better decision-making.

Process Director enables business users to review historical and current data, understand activities in their present state and to instantly deploy alternative tactics to overcome a pending problem. Combined with traditional flowchart-based workflows, Process Director offers a solution for controlling key business processes.

Fusing traditional workflow automation, which uses a simple drag-and-drop flowchart builder, with the Process Timeline system, which features an intuitive Gantt–like activity layout, Process Director enables process builders to easily specify activity dependencies and conditions, planned duration, and order.

For running processes, Process Timeline gives process owners complete control including the ability to:
Predict the completion time of any current or future activity;
Cancel an activity or process;
Reassign an activity to another user; or
Restart an activity.

Process Director also incorporates a graphical rules engine which defines the policies and rules that govern how processes should perform. The business rules exist independent of the processes, enabling users to delegate the management of those rules in accordance with the principle of least privilege.
