Apriso Upgrades BPM for Manufacturing with FlexNet 9.5 
Apriso is shipping FlexNet version 9.5, an updated version of its business process management (BPM) software for manufacturers. The package improves collaboration among cross-functional teams by offering improved role separation, advanced blueprinting and prototyping capabilities.
Apriso FlexNet provides real-time, global visibility into, control over and synchronization across manufacturing operations across a supply network, and can integrate with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems to improve operational efficiency.
With FlexNet 9.5 “new manufacturing processes can be easily mapped, prototyped and evaluated by business users to ensure business objectives are met,” said John Fishell, Apriso’s vice president of product management said in a statement. Apriso’s latest BPM solution enables “an agile implementation and change methodology.”
FlexNet 9.5 is helping one consumer goods manufacturer perform engineering change requests up to three times a week, improving production, warehousing and quality across more than twenty plants, he added.
