Include base-PDF and Master Data! Duplicate your Business!!
Kyoto, Japan, April 28, 2014, Questetra, Inc., the global SaaS provider of Business Process Management (BPM), today announced that they have published the new version 9.9 of the cloud-based Workflow product “Questetra BPM Suite” on April 28, 2014. With the new version, export function of ‘Business Process Definition’ (Process Model) is largely enhanced. For example, you will be able to copy the whole business procedure of Strong performance branch or, to copy the whole business procedure of the campaign in the past easily.
Questetra BPM Suite
“Questetra BPM Suite” is a Workflow product which makes you be able to handle your business data on the Cloud. It will contribute to enhancing internal control and operational efficiency. It has a great feature that you can modify the configurations with easy Drag & Drop operation for the business rule or business flow. Non-technical uses can systemize complicated business process such as Decision-making, Translating, or Complaint handling. (Free of charge up to 5 Users)
Process Definition Export Feature
A Business process is defined by setting 3 elements that are, ‘Flow of the business (Process Diagram)’, ‘Assignment rule at each Steps (Operator)’ and ‘Data Items’. With the Business process Definition file (extension .QAR), Users can run the business system (Workflow system) at any time. It has been possible to save the “business process definition file” so far. But v9.9 and later, now it is possible to bundle a group of related files. In the business process that “to mail the quotation to the customer after getting supervisor’s approval”, for example, it will be able to include the files which are associated with, such as “Master Data of customer segments” or “PDF template for quotation”, within the archive.
If a corporation that has developed sales offices in many regions, it becomes much easier to let other branch offices to learn Quotation submission flow of the Strong performance office, or to let each branch arrange ‘New business procedure’ which the head quarter has created. Also for consulting companies, it is possible to improve the reusability of the business process proposed in the past.
In addition, we Questetra already have published more than 500 business templates. From now on, we are going to publish business templates using features of v9.9.
Other Improvements
In the new version 9.9, we have implemented various improvements other than ‘Business Process Definition export’.
Separation of company-wide use master and individual business master
We have separated the management of “master that can be used for cross-business (company-wide)” and management of “master to be used only on an individual business” explicitly. Also, we have separated the management of “Template PDF to be used only on an individual business” and management of “Template PDF that can be used for cross-business” explicitly.
Added Auto-overwrite function of Choice Master (company-wide use)
We have added a feature to overwrite ‘Choice Master to be used Cross-business’. For example, it will be able to automatically retrieve an office list or the product master, and stores them as the Choice data which can be used for all business.
Changed the locations of the Menu buttons (Model Editor screen)
In modeling screen for business process definition, we have changed to menu placement that would allow more intuitive business designing. Also, we have implemented a warning displaying on the operation of the “close button” or “back button” of the browser. In addition, we have speeding up the rendering speed and enriched the modeling guide.
Future Works
“Cloud computing” is now entering the stage of spreading both domestic and overseas. Especially, in the computer system such as email groupware or CRM (customer relationship management), paradigm shift “from ownership to use” is accelerating. Cloud based workflow “Questetra BPM Suite” that has grown to be used in 4000 companies in 100 countries (including Free SaaS), has the plan of enhancing the features to grasp the business progress and processing performance more easily.
