At last I complete my long overdue catch up posting process here on my knowledge notes weblog with a Market Wire press release regarding another company I have had great familiarity with over these past ten years: Chordiant Grid Enables Business Process Management Solutions.
IBM certainly has a impressive host of companies, services and providers ready to extend, enhance and complement their autonomic initiatives.
 
Here is an excerpt from this press release:
 
"...Chordiant worked with IBM to grid enable their process applications through IBM's Solutions Grid for Business Partners initiative. Working with the technical resources at the IBM Innovation Centres in Waltham, MA and San Mateo, CA, Chordiant ported and tested their solutions on a virtual grid leveraging IBM eServer pSeries and xSeries servers running Windows, Linux and AIX technologies.
 
Chordiant's enterprise business process management system (BPMS) generates transactional process-driving solutions in role-based desktops. These process-driven solutions step users through their necessary work, improving employee productivity while reducing the operational costs of processing. Chordiant customers utilising these solutions have also seen employee satisfaction improve significantly, as users are empowered through the solution to make decisions that previously had to be referred elsewhere for approval. Risk to the business can be effectively managed through the implementation, automation and orchestration of appropriate policies and processes within the application.
 
Chordiant's new grid-enabled solutions can improve application performance in real-time by utilising grid "parallelised" data access to legacy back-end systems. Specifically, parallelised data access using unused cycles in the computing grid enable customers to increase usage of existing computing bandwidth, while reducing the time taken to retrieve critical information for real-time business process applications.
 
Similarly, the combination of Chordiant's BPMS and grid dramatically improves the analytic performance (e.g. real-time offers and autonomic business process management) by using grid computing to consume unused computing cycles throughout the enterprise..."
