Business Space powered by WebSphere® provides an integrated user experience for business users across the IBM WebSphere Business Process Management portfolio. Business Space provides a customizable and collaborative environment for monitoring, reviewing, and administering common business processes, such as human task flows, modeling, and performance indicators.
Business Space is a browser-based graphical user interface that lets business users interact with content from products in the WebSphere Business Process Management portfolio. The business spaces you create are collections of related Web content that provide you with insight into your business and the capability to react to changes in it.
The following diagram shows the relationship between Business Space and WebSphere Business Process Management.
Business users can view the content they want to see in the way they want to see it by creating mashups. Mashups are combinations of Web applications (widgets) configured on the pages of a business space that provide content from multiple sources. Business users can create as many mashup pages as they want to provide multiple views of their business. In addition to viewing content, business users can create mashups that act on their business by, for example, assigning people to various tasks or adjusting business rules for different outcomes. A business space groups related pages.
You can create a business space in any of the following ways:
A business space consists of pages that you define. Each page can contain one or more widgets that are configured to perform business tasks.
Additionally, you can have many business spaces with each one having a different purpose. For example, a space with widgets from WebSphere Business Monitor can be used to monitor key performance indicators in your business.
