    Information Server is extremely useful to replace manual developments that require a lot of coding effort. It significantly increases the productivity of the initial development and the future maintenance of the processes since it has a visual development environment with self-documentation.

    • Service that supports process and vice versa
    • Business process definition
    • Definition of Business Entities
    • Management of business entities
    • Business Entity managed by services

    • Business services contracts
    • Business services performance management
