In the era of cloud computing and the Internet, sharing and openness is an ever-evolving topic. Doing everything alone is no longer the mainstream thinking in business operations. The end-to-end business of the whole business chain must extend from within the enterprise to outside the enterprise, and must be connected with external systems. Therefore, integration has become an important trend. Inject new technologies on the product platform in an integrated manner, improve various workflows, and meet the complex and frequently changing needs of customers in a refined manner. Adhering to the development concept, the technical capabilities, support capabilities, and service capabilities are comprehensively improved to empower a new user experience.
Returning to the concrete informatization scenario, it is often seen that the original management systems such as ERP, HRM, and SRM of the enterprise are independent of each other, and each stores more and more data, and the data is not circulated or shared. When data barriers arise, whether it is to improve the compliance level for process transformation, or to find a way to improve business performance from a global perspective, it becomes impossible to start. The importance of product integration and openness is self-evident.
In the name of process, the way of K2 BPM integration
The positioning of business process management system (BPMS for short) has never been to replace business-related information systems, but to bring complementarity, open up information islands, tap data value, make up for the lack of process-based expansion capabilities in business systems, and make all business processes Digitalization, process digitization, and digital assetization enable enterprises to refine management and operations and create greater value.
The specialty of K2 is process-based, and the gene of K2 is openness. It is good at cutting in from the perspective of process management, helping enterprises complete complex integration, rapid construction and agile change of massive business processes. In the matter of trying to break through the data barriers, K2 BPM uses "NO CODE" to call graphically, "Reusable" can be highly reusable, and "Secure" puts safety first and strict control. These three product features realize end-to-end business China Unicom brings the value of data circulation and the happiness of saving time and effort to enterprises and organizations with complex organizational structures and various business levels.
Convenience is justice, the art of K2 BPM integration
K2's integration ideas generally include four aspects: basic data integration, form integration, process integration, and report integration. At the same time, it satisfies the responsive layout capability, and can automatically adapt to different terminal devices after one development, which greatly simplifies the development process and improves work efficiency.
"Wall Crack" recommends a new function of the BPM platform - method management
The method management function of the intelligent process platform K2 Platform Enterprise can be regarded as the registration center of the interface method, which is convenient for unified management and reuse, integrates into the interface system, and configures the interface address, input data, output data, and implementation logic. Easily realize cross-platform and cross-system integration, such as SSO login integration, portal integration, and ERP integration.
Integration practice, exploring four methods of integration
Method 1: Fill in the business data in the business system, and then send the filled business data to K2, and K2 will display and initiate the process.
When initiated: the business system transmits business data to K2 BPM
After initiation: K2 BPM transmits the approval data to the business system
Approval: each approval node transmits the approval data to the business system
At the end of approval: transfer business data + approval data to the business system
Method 2: Embed the form of the business system into the K2 BPM form in the form of Iframe, and store the business data in the business system.
When initiated: the business system transmits the business data required for process flow control to K2 BPM
After initiation: K2 BPM returns the process status to the business system
When approving: pass the approved approval data back to the business system
Method 3: Initiate the process in K2 BPM, and fill in all data on the K2 BPM form
Initiate the process on the K2 page, and transfer the data to the business system after the process ends
Method 4: K2 BPM provides an API interface, and the business system directly calls the K2 BPM API interface to initiate the process.
The business system calls each functional interface to return process data to form data interaction
In addition, K2 can also integrate the SSO single sign-on function, and multiple systems can be logged in at one time, eliminating the burden of memorizing multiple user names and passwords.
