Configurations

Configure your instance of the system to best meet your needs. Micro Focus on-premises and on-demand solutions offer the same process management platform. Customize your instance of the solution and give each organization its own secure container within the multi-tenanted environment.

As with the on-premises version of Solutions Business Manager, the workflows, forms and screens, integrations and orchestrations, notifications as well as reports and dashboards in SBM Platform-as-a-Service can be visually configured. SBM’s unique Composer tool visually compares your version of the solution with another so you can manually merge items, thereby simplifying version control of your processes.
