Extensibility
What is the X4 Adapter Development Kit (ADK)?
It is a tool for creating custom adapters. These adapters can be fully integrated in the platform.
What interfaces does X4 BPMS provide for external systems?
The X4 API offers modern REST APIs for many platform functions – from starting a process to data retrieval.
Can web apps be customized?
Web apps created with X4 BPMS can be customized even without coding. If specific controls or responses are needed, you can use the Web App API to add them.
Is programming required?
No. Many extensions can be implemented through the configuration or templates. APIs and the ADK are available for specific requirements.
Monitoring
What processes can be monitored with X4 BPMS?
All the processes that have been modeled or integrated with X4 BPMS – including technical processes, interfaces, and user interactions.
Do the monitoring tools have to be licensed separately?
No. Monitoring with the Process Monitor in X4 Control Center is an integral component of X4 BPMS.
Can I also analyze individual process steps?
Yes, the graphical flow shows you exactly where an error or delays occurred.
Can I restart processes manually?
Yes, interrupted processes can be specifically restarted or continued.
Process Automation
Do I need to program processes?
No. Processes are modeled graphically – in executable form and without programming code. Technical logic is mapped using adapters and modules.
What is the difference between BPM and ESB in X4 BPMS?
BPM organizes and controls business processes, while ESB takes care of the technical integration of all systems and data sources. X4 BPMS combines both solutions.
How quickly can a process be implemented.
Often in just a few days, depending on the complexity – through reuse of existing modules and prefabricated adapters.
How does X4 BPMS scale up in the face of growing complexity?
X4 BPMS grows together with your requirements – from simple workflows to enterprise-wide process landscapes. Thanks to its modular architecture, reusability, and centralized monitoring, you remain in control even when faced with growing complexity.
