Red Hat Unveils Next-Generation Process Automation Offering
Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7 delivers cloud-native
intelligent process automation and dynamic case management capabilities
for both business and IT users
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced the launch of Red Hat Process Automation
Manager 7, a comprehensive, cloud-native platform for developing
business automation services and process-centric applications across
hybrid cloud environments. Process
Automation Manager is the next generation of Red Hat's business
process management (BPM) offering, Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite, and enables
organizations to streamline, automate,
measure and continuously improve business operations.
Digital
transformation can place new demands on both business and IT to
deliver greater efficiency and agility throughout the application
lifecycle. Process Automation Manager is designed to foster closer
collaboration between the two groups by enabling business users to
directly participate in creating new business applications using
business-friendly concepts, while retaining the governance and oversight
required by IT for application scalability and security.
Process Automation Manager provides both business and IT users with a
low-code solution that can reduce the time required to build
applications that automate business processes, enforce business policies
and make business decisions.
The latest release of the platform introduces and expands on a number of
key capabilities, including:
- Cloud-native application development: With Process Automation
Manager 7, Red Hat is expanding its business process automation
capabilities native to Red
Hat OpenShift Container Platform, the industry's most
comprehensive enterprise Kubernetes platform. Customers can quickly
and cost-effectively develop, test and deploy intelligent,
cloud-native applications that automate business decisions and
processes as containerized microservices spanning hybrid
cloud environments.
- Dynamic case management: New dynamic case management
capabilities support dynamic and ad-hoc workflows that are otherwise
difficult or impossible to represent in a traditional process model,
which helps customers collaborate more easily and better manage
unstructured processes. In scenarios such as fraud detection and
investigation, Process Automation Manager can enhance process
automation efforts with better visualization and organization of
workflow goals, results, collaboration, and associated content.
- Low-code user experience (UX): Process Automation Manager now
includes new rapid application development tools for creating rich,
device-independent user interfaces as part of a simplified and more
intuitive experience for building process-driven applications.
Process Automation Manager includes Red
Hat Decision Manager, a decision management platform that simplifies
the development and deployment of rules-based applications and services,
and a business resource planner based on the OptaPlanner community
project.
Availability
Red Hat Process Automation Manager is available for download by members
of the Red
Hat Developer community. Customers can get the latest updates from
the Red
Hat Customer Portal.

Rob Koplowitz, vice president and principal
analyst, Application Development and Delivery, Forrester and John Rymer,
vice president and principal analyst, Application Development and
Delivery, Forrester
“Enterprises struggle to transform to
digital business because they don’t automate the operational processes
that underpin customer journeys. Breakdowns in processes like parts and
service scheduling, pricing, returns, and warranties derail customer
journeys, creating a huge task for application development and delivery
(AD&D) pros. A new generation of digital process automation practices,
platforms, and plans are the answer.”
