Woolworths has invested further in its supply chain redevelopment program by adding BPM capabilities.

Woolworths, Australia and New Zealand’s largest retail group, has invested further in its supply chain redevelopment program by adding sophisticated business process management (BPM) capabilities. Woolworths is also investing in an SOA registry and governance platform to underpin its overall corporate move towards service-oriented architecture (SOA).  The announcement was made by Software AG, a global leader in business infrastructure software.

webMethods Optimize, Software AG’s patented business activity monitoring (BAM) solution, will provide Woolworths with real-time insight into how their supply chain processes are performing, what's working well, where there may be bottlenecks and why, and what can be improved. It will allow Woolworths to create and build process strategies against its business vision, defining and tracking Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for people, process and system performance throughout their supply chain.

Woolworths CIO Daniel Beecham said, “webMethods has been a key element in the technology platform that has helped us revolutionize our logistics business. The confidence we gained from that program encouraged us to further leverage our webMethods investment in the areas of SOA and Process. We see this relationship as a strategic one, the strength of which has been further enhanced by the involvement of Software AG.”
