About Business Process Services

ENOVIA Business Process Services provides the configurable user interface and schema and features used throughout ENOVIA products, such as Collections, Discussions, document management, and company profiles.ENOVIA Business Process Services also allows internal and external (such as suppliers) users to collaborate while maintaining access controls to data and provides metrics reporting capability to assess performance based on product data.

ENOVIA Business Process Services combines these formerly separate applications:


  • Application Exchange Framework
  • Common Components
  • Team Central
  • ENOVIA Business Metrics Module

About Common Components

Common Components includes tools that are common to many ENOVIA products. Common Components include:


  • Routes and tasks and route templates
  • Common profile management
  • Common document management
  • Subscriptions
  • Discussions
  • Workflows
  • Issue Management
  • Member Lists
  • Common file search
  • Parts and Part Families
  • Engineering Changes
  • Image Management
  • Quick File Access

An application can use the common components to implement a feature or use its own programs. Most common components are configurable so each application can tailor it as needed. For example, the checkin pages can be configured to show specific fields and attributes. If an application has requirements that are not included in the common component, it uses its own programs.
