BPM on the Go with IBM Worklight - Part 3

In the previous entry, we discussed how IBM Worklight addresses each of the 3 capabilities needed to achieve efficiencies for business process, namely:

• Send prompt notifications as a process waits for decision
• Connect to processes on the move
• Access the decision data in a secure disconnected mode for review and approval

In this third and final entry, I will showcase a real world example: a simple claims processing mobile application built using IBM Worklight. If you are just joining us, here are the links to Parts 1 and 2 of this series:

Claim Process:
An Insurance company initiates a claim process and one of its specialists receives notifications on the phone regarding pending claims. Once the claims are downloaded to the mobile device, a claims specialist could be work on them in an offline (disconnected) mode. All changes are saved locally in an encrypted cache and downloaded claims could be worked on seamlessly. Once connection is re-established, claims processed locally are synced back to the server.

The process flow for the Claims Process is illustrated below:

A Worklight Mobile Application that demonstrates the Claim process is shown below:

This concludes the 3-part blog series on BPM On the Go with IBM Worklight. We started with capabilities that are needed to achieve efficiencies in business processes, looked at an in-depth detail on how IBM Worklight provides these capabilities and demonstrated the same with a real world example.
