The First BPM/SOA Solution for Mill Operations

While the demand for manufacturing software systems incorporating BPM (business process management) functionality grows, few vendors have stepped up to answer the call. FlexNet is the only BPM solution targeted at mission-critical manufacturing processes.

Once installed, FlexNet can be easily reconfigured by the user. At the heart of the platform is Process Builder(TM), a process-authoring tool that enables the solutions' adaptability. Using a drag-and-drop interface, process owners can author Web-enabled electronic "flows" that become available to workstations within the four walls of their operations, or out to their extended enterprise through thin client access -- all without coding.

Apriso is one of the first software companies to bring SOA (service-oriented architecture) into the Mills industry. FlexNet is based on a true Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), giving organizations the ability to seamlessly integrate data between the plant floor and business system, where it can be analyzed and used to more precisely measure production levels and other key performance indicators.

Pricing and Availability

FlexNet is sold directly by Apriso and through certified resellers. Pricing is based on the number of applications purchased and company size. For further information, call 888-400-7587.
