IBM Business Process Manager including IBM Process Designer and IBM Integration Designer


This product version includes the following enhancements:

  • Provides a new Case Designer that extends the unified design experience. It is built upon the centralized IBM Process Center repository to simplify the development and deployment of process and basic case applications.

  • Enables you to create mobile-optimized user interfaces with new WYSIWYG tooling that enables the design of responsive process coaches.


IBM Business Monitor


This product version, which is an update to IBM Business Monitor V8.0.1, includes the following enhancements:
  • Provides customizable dashboards that calculate and display key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics that are derived from business transactions, processes, business activity data, and business events.
  • Enables you to view dashboards through lightweight web interfaces, mobile devices, and corporate portals. You can drill into specific transaction and process instances.
  • Includes a simplified event infrastructure that is optimized for performance. IBM Business Monitor V8.5.5 offers improved event handling performance with the Dynamic Event Framework (DEF), which is an alternative to the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI). While the CEI framework remains available and supported, the DEF handles events more efficiently, which can result in better performance.

  • Includes powerful, new visualizations of data that are based on Cognos BI V10.2.1.
  • Provides function that helps to improve and simply the product installation.
