Further extending the integrated application capabilities of the ArchestrA System Platform software and fuelled by the company s latest business process management (BPM) technology, Skelta BPM 2011 software. ArchestrA Workflow software captures and enforces operational processes across business and production systems to automate the response to process exceptions. The software synchronizes human and system activity by enforcing standard operating procedures, as well as standard responses to abnormal events, such as downtime, quality breaches or yield decreases.

The company recently signed a contract to deliver its ArchestrA Workflow software to one of the world's leading biotechnology companies. Under the terms of the agreement, Invensys Operations Management will provide its new software to help this multinational industry leader track issues and requests throughout its global operating facilities. Invensys Operations Management will also supply training and consulting services. The contract highlights the growing importance process manufacturers are placing on the link between people and processes as they seek operational excellence.
