What can LANSA Composer do for your business?
A Business Process Integration solution like LANSA Composer differs from other middleware because it takes a top-down, process-centric approach. The goal is to automate manual processes and eliminate re-keying of data by reducing the amount of paper, email, fax and human interaction required to complete a given business process.
LANSA Composer is the first BPI solution designed specifically for the heartland of the System i/iSeries community – the small or medium sized business. It is simple to install, easy to use and truly affordable.

Before LANSA Composer
In many businesses, we have found that one of the main obstacles to achieving operational efficiency is actually knowing which tasks are performed when, by whom and under what circumstances? A lot of process expertise is carried around in people‘s heads, some is written down, but very little is properly documented or automated.
LANSA has been active in the application development and integration tools space for twenty years and have identified a set of common issues that seemed to hold true almost regardless of an organization's size, industry or geographic location:
|
Common Issues |
|
Businesses relies too much on error-prone manual process |
|
Existing data transfers are batch-oriented and rigid |
|
Application developers are over-burdened |
|
Implementing middleware products costs more than the software itself |
|
BPI technology is beyond the reach of most companies |
LANSA Composer was designed to help companies overcome these issues and to bring the power of Business Process Integration technology to everyone.

After LANSA Composer
With LANSA Composer you can capture, model and implement a set of automated processes that, like robots on a factory floor, are more predictable and future-proof than their manual predecessors. LANSA Composer can also be used to replace any batch processing or semi-automated file transfers with real-time interfaces between applications and databases.
The end result is a more robust and efficient operating environment in which computer automation is, once again, making people and their employers more productive.
