Commonware

Commonware is a set of web based project management and designed to help organizations to collaborate and achieve business process interoperability (BPI) goals. A commercial product developed by its namesake in Sweden, Commonware is distinguished for being the first application designed specifically for BPI. By enabling joint efforts between business users and technology professionals, the Commonware platform helps enterprises build solutions that integrate disparate database applications and manual procedures into seamless end-to-end business processes, within an enterprise and externally with customers, vendors and business partners, both current and potential.
Using Commonware tools, organizations build BPI solutions on an open, web-based platform. To reach for global interoperability, the software helps project leaders collaborate internally and externally with project leaders of business partners industry-wide, so that applications can be built that interoperate across all enterprises involved. This collaborative functionality eliminates the use of duplicate procedures and redundant data-gathering, streamlines day-to-day functions and introduces standards into mainstream business processes so that they start and finish without the use of non-essential human labor.
Uses
Collaboration is the hallmark of BPI, and Commonware is the first software platform designed specifically for joint efforts between business users and technology professionals. Using an open Web-based platform it lets business partners build BPI solutions simultaneously within and across enterprises. This approach reduces process duplication and data reentry costs, minimizes handoffs and mitigates risk through tighter universal standards-based solutions.
