Flare's EPCAT-Wave™
The EPCat-Wave™ system makes key business processes visible, automates access to input information items and helps people to publish their key deliverables. In addition it provides a web-based tracking capability that allows individuals and organizations to quickly determine what deliverables they are responsible for and provides management visibility into process completion as well as compliance metrics.
Working In conjunction with the E&P Catalog™, EPCat-Wave™ can point people to existing information items that will be needed for a process step such as data, documents, templates or procedures. Once an individual has completed a step EPCat-Wave provides a simple and consistent mechanism for them to publish deliverable items so that these are available for other people involved in the process and can also be easily located in future.
Process Visibility
Selectable views allow display of full process structure or selected steps with their related information items and status - Explicit ownership of process steps makes responsibility clearly visible
Alert management
Comprehensive alert management facilities including user-defined notification, automatic alerts upon deadline violations and automatic e-mail generation
Management Reporting
Graphical and text-based summary reports provide powerful overviews of project progress and deliverables
Information Access and Publishing
Key project deliverables can be explicitely listed – this acts as a ‘check-list’ of mandatory deliverables and allows the pre-definition of publishing metadata, so simplifying the publishing process. Deliverables can be subsequently found in the E&P Catalog and also viewed against the processes that created them.
Compliance Tracking
The process structure shows where a document has been created, and which documents were used as input for that step - Visible linkage between the inputs and outputs provide a compliance tracking and audit capability
Security
Individual process steps allow read-only access except for authorised individuals, so publishing can be controlled.
