February 14, 2007 – Theorem Solutions announces the immediate availability of TPM (Theorem Process Manager), a new application designed to save time and money through the automation, control and management of computing processes. The new software is not only applicable to customers operating in Theorem’s traditional design and manufacturing market, but also provides major benefits to IT and data processing users across a wide range of industry sectors.TPM enables complex batch operations to be initiated by a simple ‘drag and drop’ action that can execute programs, evaluate results and both collect or distribute files.
It is ideal for running and scheduling a variety of processes and can be easily configured to apply predetermined actions based on the outcome of each program.Results at various process stages are evaluated and automatically compared to user-defined rules. Depending on the conditions found, TPM will respond with appropriate actions – perhaps by branching to other processes, or even instigating entirely new processes. This ‘intelligent process branching’ substantially reduces – and in some cases may entirely eliminate – the need for external operator intervention.
Accordingly, TPM enables complex sequences to continue to run without input and will unfailingly apply the correct company-approved procedures to the processes.TPM also handles unexpected results such as program failures, the disruption of batch processes and resource overloads, all in accordance with pre-defined rules. As a result, processes are much more likely to run successfully to completion regardless of the problems encountered.Theorem’s General Manager Keith Jeacock said: “In addition to delivering precise process control and management, TPM can provide fully detailed audit trails of ‘what happened when’. This data can be automatically drawn into word processing or spreadsheet applications and displayed as charts, graphs or tables.
Dependable audit trails are frequently very valuable when areas for cost savings are being sought within an organisation. Furthermore, they are becoming more and more important in today’s litigation-conscious business environment. TPM enables users to save time and money and, in some cases, a lot more!” He added: “TPM is an exciting new product, with applications across the complete data processing spectrum. It complements Theorem’s industry-leading CADverter data translators and will be sold alongside our other software solution ranges.”
