DBIS at CeBIT: clavii BPM Cloud for personalized process views

Ulm University

The clavii BPM Cloud, developed by Opens internal link in current windowJens Jolb and his team members Stefan Bueringer and Klaus Kammerer, helps companies to get a clear view on their business processes. Supervised by Opens internal link in current windowProf. Manfred Reichert, the members of our research project Opens internal link in current windowproView now present their innovative, cloud-based app documenting and optimizing complex business processes at CeBIT 2013 (Hall 7, Ground C40/Baden-Württemberg International).

Its main distinctive feature: every employee gets his personalized view on the process, customized for his needs. For this, less important tasks of colleagues are summarized or are even hidden. Changes or updates of one employee are displayed in all corresponding views of colleagues. Furthermore, it is possible to create visualizations for special needs, e.g., to show tasks of a single department or only technical details.

The idea to develop such an innovative app was born in the context of a project with an automobile manufacturer. In future, clavii BPM Cloud may facilitate the development of cars or simplify the handling of management processes. In this context, business processes may comprise hundreds of activities and employees might lose track easily. Through personalized process views the app can help to reduce complexity significantly.  The clavii BPM Cloud excels current industry tools. Furthermore, clavii BPM Cloud is able to convert graph-based process models to form-based or textual representations. This makes day-to-day work easier for persons with inadequate knowledge in process modeling (e.g., doctors or clerks). 

The unusual name “clavii BPM Cloud” is a combination of „clarus“ (lat: clear) and “view”. The app was developed by Jens Kolb, research assistant at our institute, and the ambitious DBIS students Stefan Bueringer and Klaus Kammerer. Generally, fundamentals on process abstractions are introduced by Jens Kolb in the research project proView (Lead: Opens internal link in current windowProf. Manfred Reichert). In future, the team plans to extend the app in order to execute processes. They also want to found their own company.
