Process Automation Manager provides
both business and IT users with a low-code
solution that can reduce the time required
to build applications that automate business
processes, enforce business policies and
make business decisions. The latest release
of the platform introduces and expands on
a number of key capabilities, including:
• Cloud-native application development:
With Process Automation Manager 7,
Red Hat is expanding its business process
automation capabilities native to Red
Hat OpenShift Container Platform, the
industry’s most comprehensive enterprise
Kubernetes platform. Customers can quickly
and cost-effectively develop, test and
deploy intelligent, cloud-native applications
that automate business decisions and
processes as containerised microservices
spanning hybrid cloud environments.
• Dynamic case management: New
dynamic case management capabilities
support dynamic and ad-hoc workflows
that are otherwise difficult or impossible
to represent in a traditional process
model, which helps customers collaborate
more easily and better manage
unstructured processes. In scenarios such
as fraud detection and investigation,
Process Automation Manager can
enhance process automation efforts with
better visualisation and organisation of
workflow goals, results, collaboration, and
associated content.
• Low-code user experience (UX): Process
Automation Manager now includes new
rapid application development tools for
creating rich, device-independent user
interfaces as part of a simplified and
more intuitive experience for building
process-driven applications.
Process Automation Manager includes
Red Hat Decision Manager, a decision
management platform that simplifies the
development and deployment of rules-
based applications and services and a
business resource planner based on the
OptaPlanner community project. Red Hat
Process Automation Manager is available
for download by members of the Red Hat
Developer community. Customers can
get the latest updates from the Red Hat
Customer Portal.
Mike Piech, Vice President and General
Manager, Middleware, Red Hat, said:
“Process automation technology
materialises the benefits of Red Hat’s vision
and strengths: open hybrid cloud, containers,
DevOps, microservices for the business.
“With Red Hat Process Automation Manager,
business professionals can collaborate side-
by-side with technical architects to optimise
workflows, rapidly introduce new offerings
and drive operational efficiency in ways
that delight customers and outmanoeuvre
competitors in an increasingly digital world.”
Raquel Martin, global head of Business
Process Architecture and Artificial intelligence
Tech at BBVA, said: “Red Hat’s technologies
are helping to facilitate innovation at BBVA,
allowing our engineers to accelerate the
transformation of processes to be more
digital, more automatic and exceed our
customers’ expectations.
“We believe Red Hat Process Automation
Manager will play an integral role in
continuing to power BBVA’s digital
transformation efforts.” n
