IRP Control Point

IRP Control Point – a unified front office for integrated corporate security

What capabilities does a corporate security system gain with the implementation of a unified front office?

• Integration of information from diverse security systems (the Unified Front Office concept)
• High-performance electronic event archive with the ability to associate each event with relevant information (video, audio recordings, etc.)
• Monitoring of high‑level events (e.g. unauthorised access to restricted areas) and low‑level events (e.g. equipment operational status)
• A single entry point for all data (documents, workflow processes, integration)

The possibilities of using the unified front office are limited only by the needs of your security system. Here you can learn about a complete example of IRP Control Point use in a multisensory hardware and software surveillance system developed by the Foreign Trade Association Avtopromimport for one of Russia’s largest energy sector enterprises.

IRP Control Point advantages:

• Versatility
• Modularity
• Scalability
• Adaptability to specific requirements
• Universal compatibility with external hardware
• Integration with external information systems
• Single point of control (portal capability)
• Robust information security framework
• Simple user interface

IRP ProcessIntelligence

What problems does business activity monitoring solve?

The human factor is significantly reduced. Staff requirements are lowered. Operational control of operational risks increases process transparency and improves manageability and support. As a result, operational risks and business operation costs are reduced, and business efficiency is improved.

What are “operational risks”?

Management decisions are based on the analysis of an organisation’s performance indicators. Therefore, to manage a company effectively, their status must be monitored. The faster the monitoring, the quicker the response to changes, and the more time and options management has for decision-making.

Why IRP ProcessIntelligence?

• Convenience: Process and indicator diagrams are presented in clear charts and tables.
• Simplicity: The interface is intuitive. Easy to deploy.
• Multi-platform: The system server can be deployed on any operating system that supports a Java Virtual Machine; support for all popular application servers.
• Cost-effectiveness: The user workstation requires no special software or expensive hardware – only an Internet browser.
• Integration capabilities: Based on IRP ProcessFrame technology built on SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) principles.

IRP ProcessIntelligence provides the following capabilities:

• Real-time data collection on the status of any processes, IT infrastructure objects and indicators.
• Operational analysis with immediate notification of responsible staff.
• SLA (Service Level Agreement) monitoring.
• Provision of all necessary information on failure causes and solutions for issue resolution.
• Clear and convenient visual monitoring of process diagrams and infrastructure component status.
• Flexible rule configuration for monitoring.
• Auditing of all events and actions.
• Auditing of changes in event, object and indicator status.
• Data collection on process status for the Quality Management System.
• Flexible user rights configuration.

To reduce the cost of process maintenance and response time to exceptional situations, IRP ProcessIntelligence includes an Expert System for actions in exceptional situations. This system provides quick access to information on the causes and nature of events, as well as instructions for actions in exceptional situations.

Examples of other IRP ProcessIntelligence capabilities:

• Example of enterprise infrastructure presentation
• List of monitored objects
• Auditing of changes in monitoring object status
• Display of business indicator status

IRP FrameDoc

IRP ProcessFrame

IRP ProcessFrame – An efficient and cost-effective application integration platform based on BPM (Business Process Management) and SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) principles.

Why is it beneficial to use the IRP ProcessFrame integration platform?

The historical evolution of IT has led to the emergence in organizations of a standard set of “black‑box” systems – ERP, accounting systems, order management systems, CRM, and the like.

An information infrastructure built “around applications” suffers from a number of drawbacks, including:

• Complexity of managing business processes spanning multiple information systems.
• Lack of transparency.
• High cost and complexity of IT management.

The advantages of IRP ProcessFrame are that:

• A single front‑office integrates user activity within a unified interface.
• Adherence to SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) standards in infrastructure development reduces the risk of losing investments made in it.
• Adapters and service containers developed for IRP ProcessFrame can be used with any other integration environment that supports Web Services standards.
• The flexibility of IRP ProcessFrame helps minimize the risks and costs associated with adapting an existing solution to another platform.
• According to Forrester Research Inc., the main costs in application integration come from adapters and data transformation. For every dollar invested in the integration platform, between 8 and 14 dollars are spent on developing integration solutions based on it.

IRP ProcessFrame – process integration platform. Example of integration in the banking sector:

IRP Business Process Designer

IRP Business Process Designer – business process designer.

With the designer, you can address a wide range of document flow, workflow and business process integration tasks.

Why IRP Business Process Designer?

Business process components can include both APIs (Application Program Interfaces) of various IRP ProcessFrame integration platform modules and third‑party components built on Web Services technology.

What problems does the business process designer solve?

Visual document routing – for corporate information management (DocFlow and WorkFlow implementation).

Support for heterogeneous business processes in integration tasks – using both the IRP ProcessFrame integration platform’s own API and external web services.

Example of using IRP Business Process Designer to formalise a contract approval process:

Screenshot: With the designer, you can quickly create a contract approval process.

Key principles of working with IRP Business Process Designer for creating document routing scenarios::

• IRP Business Process Designer allows you to visually create document routing scenarios
• Each scenario consists of one or more document actions, the sequence of which is determined by visual connections between them.
• Each action is assigned to a specific executor.
• Working in the IRP FrameDoc system, a user can route a document according to any of the scenarios created in IRP Business Process Designer.
• Each executor automatically receives a corresponding document workflow task (available via the Document Workflow – System Tasks menu in IRP FrameDoc).
• The executor can view a visual representation of the document’s current processing status within the given scenario.

Technology. Based on the J2EE platform, which allows the use of various application servers that support this standard. To create processes, IRP Business Process Designer supports the BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) standard, enabling the creation of business processes that can repeatedly use Web services developed using various programming tools.

The system includes a set of Web services hosted in the IRP ProcessFrame UDDI registry. When developing processes, users can reuse their own Web services, IRP ProcessFrame Web services, and third-party services, significantly reducing development costs and increasing development speed.

IRP Business Process Designer effectively hides the complexity of the J2EE platform, greatly simplifying the creation of flexible, distributed business processes and composite applications.
