IBM WebSphere Process Server is designed to enable you to transform your business processes based on an SOA model. This comprehensive process-automation server uses open-standards-based technology to integrate business processes with a unified programming model that spans people, workflows, applications, systems, platforms, and architectures.

As the cornerstone of WebSphere process-integration products designed to help you build an SOA, WebSphere Process Server includes the following capabilities:

• Enables the life cycle of business processes by integrating with WebSphere Business Modeler to seamlessly transform business models into IT flows and, with WebSphere Business Monitor, provide real-time visibility into your business processes
• Works with products across the WebSphere software portfolio, enabling you to take advantage of capabilities for people, information, and application integration
• Delivers a broad reach across a range of integration solutions through its use of enterprise service bus (ESB) technologies and support for WebSphere Adapters, providing easy connectivity to business applications

By exploiting open standards and SOA, WebSphere Process Server enables you to reuse more of your existing IT assets.

WebSphere Process Server leverages a fully integrated, role-based development and test environment with rich, graphically intense, easy-to-use tools that require minimal programming skills. The resulting WebSphere Process Server solutions can help automate, model, design, integrate, and monitor your business processes. This helps you gain a faster time to market for delivery of your integrated business processes and increases your staff’s productivity.

Because it is based on Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), infrastructure and platform services provided by WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Process Server includes many capabilities: business process automation, business state management, business rule management, human task management, and advanced transformation.
