CA Clarity™ Process Manager

Automate Business Processes to Save Time and Money
The CA Clarity™ Process Manager allows all of your business processes to be managed as a unified whole, making it easier to optimize and standardize them across your entire organization. Because Process Manager offers you the ability to manage all of the characteristics inherent within each business process, your processes become more automated, adaptable, cohesive, collaborative and reusable. You achieve increased business agility, lower your process costs, and generate more innovation, growth and strategic thinking.

Remove Bottlenecks and Reduce Cycle Time
Process Manager adapts to your own unique business environment, linking its knowledge-based approach with structured workflowsthat improve the quality of your processes, compliance and consistency of work. With increased automation, you enjoy a decrease in the time-to-completion of projects. Because CA Clarity monitors and measures performance against a number of Key Performance Indicators, your organization benefits greatly from continuous process improvement.

Process Manager allows you to minimize wasted time on assignment hand-offs and increase overall productivity and efficiency. Using the graphical workflow status indicator, your project managers can easily track where an item is in the process and take immediate action as unexpected problems arise. Information such as new ideas can automatically be routed to appropriate reviewers and approvers through a pre-defined path.

Automatic workflow notifications eliminate the need for your managers to send endless reminder emails and spend unnecessary time on the phone finding out who has done what and what needs to happen next.

Workflow notifications can include:

Events, such as approvals and rejections.
To-dos, such as new assignments and action items.
Notes, to fully explain follow-up actions.
Time submission and approval.
The most recent documents residing within CA Clarity

Process Manager supports role-based assignments to automate the selection of appropriate workers to perform specific action items or receive notifications.

Create Powerful Workflows to Automate Business Processes
Process Manager provides your managers with a way to visually control and track the flow of ideas, documents, resources, time sheets, forms and investment proposals.
 
 
Intuitive graphical workflows facilitate immediate understanding of business process interactions.
Your process designers can easily create workflows and make them available to all users throughout the enterprise. These workflows can take actions on all objects in the system. For example, project templates can use workflows to automate project creation and to ensure that processes follow the appropriate procedures--such as what work specific people can do and how and when they can do it. Organizational breakdown structures can drive these templates, so that different parts of your organization can each adhere to their own unique business processes.
 
 
Action item assignments enforce corporate procedures regarding process roles and work activity.

Process Manager offers the following out-of-the-box processes to get workflow designers up and running:

Document Approval
Time Sheet Approval
Idea Approval
Six Sigma DMAIC
New Product Development

Not only is Process Manager easy to use; it's also powerful. Process Manager provides numerous control flow patterns to meet the requirements of complex and multi-faceted processes. And, the process engine can access any field added through the PowerMods™ functionality in the CA Clarity Studio module, providing complete visibility into all workflow data.

Process Manager also supports phase gate methodologies by enabling a gate review at the end of each project phase and allowing review committees to specify conditions for exiting from the gate. As each gate is passed, the workflow can be configured to automatically copy the next set of tasks, documents, roles, budgets, and forms from the template into the project, creating all information necessary to complete the current phase.

Leverage Open Process Standards
Process Manager supports Business Process Management Language, an industry-standard, comprehensive means of specifying the processes of an enterprise. To facilitate importing and exporting processes and loading standard or third-party processes, Process Manager is seamlessly connected with the XOGTM (XML Open Gateway) service.
