This article teaches you the basics of building a business process that utilizes IBM WebSphere Portal as its human interaction service (staff). Additionally, you learn how to complete a sub-process as an example of what it takes to break down larger business systems. You also learn how to use the client artifacts required to develop process portlets in IBM Rational Application Developer exported from the completed business process in IBM WebSphere Integration Developer. This article helps you grow your understanding of Portal’s role as a human interaction service and understand how it helps to reduce decision latency.
In an On Demand Business Environment, the efficient interaction of customers, employees, and suppliers is key to achieving business success. Businesses need to enable these parties to seamlessly participate and collaborate in business processes to increase productivity. The human tasks within these business processes, for example, approving or reviewing requests, needs to be presented to the right people, at the right time, in a way that minimizes decision latency.

- Use IBM® WebSphere® Integration Developer to build a basic process that contains human activity.
- Configure the human activity to use IBM WebSphere Portal as a human interface.
