Challenge
My business processes can’t keep up with the changing demands of my enterprise
To improve BPM, companies need to accelerate application development, digitalize and transform business processes,
and enhance their ability to contextualize business insights.
Solution
Peregrine provides a foundation to build scalable business processes that adapt to your needs
Built-in message and service brokers
Peregrine provides built-in infrastructure to help you accelerate application development.
- Message Broker streamlines communication between applications, systems and
databases
- Service Broker simplifies service abstraction, orchestration and hosting
- Solution Connectors include connectors to many common applications, databases, queueing systems and
protocols
- Simplified Connector Framework provides code templates and samples to help you quickly build customer
connectors
Advanced BPM features
Peregrine gives you more control to transform your existing business processes and rapidly bring new capabilities to
market.
- Model existing business processes using graphical design tools
- Use graphical tools to Test and Debug business processes to identify business risks and bottlenecks
- Schedule processes based on any business event using hierarchical topic-based messaging, services, rules or
connectors
- Wrap existing processes with new capabilities using Peregrine’s business process features
- Use Workflow Tracking to report on the state of any active or completed business process
- Build fault tolerant, resilient business processes that can be restarted upon failure Automatic load balancing
and fail-over of business process execution
Real-time business processing features
Peregrine Business Process Designer and runtime provide unparalleled ease of use and performance where real-time
business processing overrides the needs for activity tracking and fault tolerance. These processes are typically
used as the foundation for service API business logic, service orchestration, validation, mediation, enrichment, and
message transformation. The Business Process Designer and runtime provide users with a variety of capabilities.
- Over 40 'Drag and Drop' activities eliminating the need for complex custom code
- Control Flow activities for parallel, asynchronous and synchronous processing
- Ability to test and simulate execution in a Design environment
- Direct integration with all of Peregrine’s platform features (e.g., Service Broker, Connectors,
Messaging)
- Service and application composition and aggregation
- .NET style debugging of end-to-end business processes in the Designer environment, including the
ability to set breakpoints at activity and code level
- C#, VB.NET and JavaScript Code Designers that allow users to write code directly in the Business
Process
- Ability to reference existing .NET assemblies
- Can be exposed as a Service API
- All forms of message translation, transformation and encoding
- Extensible by creating custom activities
Long running, fault-tolerant BPM features
The Workflow Designer and runtime are unique in their ability to provide fault tolerant, business resilient processes
that can run for hours, days, weeks or months. Users can track the details of the business process at any time and
even replay their events.
When workflows fail, they can be automatically restarted on rolled over to another machine to finish where they left
off. Workflows can be used to receive and aggregate incoming events from external sources or people so they can be
evaluated and used as part of the business automation process.
- Over 80 Drag and Drop activities, eliminating the need for complex custom code
- Control Flow activities for parallel, asynchronous and synchronous processing
- Ability to Test and Simulate execution in a Design environment
- Direct integration with all of Peregrine’s platform features (e.g., Service Broker, Connectors, Messaging)
- Service and application composition and aggregation
- C#, VB.NET and JavaScript Code Designers that allow users to write code directly in the Workflow
- Ability to reference existing .NET assemblies
- Can be exposed as a Service API
- All forms of message translation, transformation and encoding
- Extensible by creating custom workflow activities
- Custom Correlation and delegation/escalation pattern support
- Support for Singleton patterns (e.g., batch aggregation and temporal patterns)
- Ability to import existing Windows Workflow Foundation workflow activities
- Support for long running transactions (e.g. compensation, saga)
Enhanced historical and real-time data analytics
Peregrine delivers the capabilities necessary to expose and propagate business insights throughout your
organization.
- Easily store and query live and historical data and status of business
processes
- View the detailed activity event processing of any business process
- Group and sort the business processes based on workflow types, status and
events
- Access any state, message or environment information within any business
processes
- Monitor real-time workflow execution using Endpoint Health, Workflow Tracking or
WMI
