Transparency made easy
Scheer PAS BRIDGE uses a purely model-based approach, and this for good reason. Functioning channels of communication within your organization belong to the most important factors which can influence the future success of your company. Cross-departmental communication is often harder than you think. With traditional processes each business area uses its own language: the IT department works with complex, mostly Java-based codes whereas specialist departments think in business models. This way, misunderstandings and a lack of clarity are pre-programmed.
This is exactly where the PAS BRIDGE starts work. Our models give your employees a common language that each and every participant in your business will understand quickly and without any problems. Your IT and specialist departments will be able to work together more efficiently and in a more target-oriented way. The simplicity allows each employee to bring their own know-how into the models. This way, cooperation and communication in your company will be raised to the next level.
The basis of the exceptional clarity of the Scheer PAS BRIDGE lies in the use of the graphical modelling languages UML and BPMN. The models are executed directly in operation as UML byte codes.
The model based approach delivers unique transparency over your processes, systems and data within the operation of the integration solution. Our exceptional analysis tools, Analyzer and Dashboards offer you a quick and comprehensive overview. All the current status information you need to work effectively is documented precisely and is available to you at any time. Additionally, and important from a compliance viewpoint, the automated control of defined process executions takes place.
The use of models has established itself for many applications and the model view has already established itself in system analysis and high level design. The Scheer PAS BRIDGE expands on the areas of application through comprehensive use across all sectors. The result is clarity and transparency across various areas:
- Processes, user interfaces, services, data, roles and access rights
- Workflows, business logic, service composition and orchestration
- Semantic transformations of application data
- System landscape and infrastructure configurations
Broad connectivity for your flexibility
One of the most important aspects of an integration platform is a reliable and complete connection of the systems that need to be integrated. An integrator shall connect any possible system as easy as possible and at the same time the whole scope of functionality must be guaranteed. With PAS BRIDGE we offer you a huge range of technical protocols with the aid of adapters and libraries.
Adapters: As an core element of our platform, adapters can be configured with wizard-dialogues. Furthermore, they can automatically expose their parameters to the PAS BRIDGE Console.
Libraries: In addition, we offer for certain protocols Convenience-Libraries, where you can find pre-modeled application scenarios.
Hereafter, the protocols supported by PAS BRIDGE are described. For further information please click on the links. You will be led to our technical documentation.

An alternative to the OPEN API import of the REST interface, which needs to be connected.
The strengths of Scheer PAS Bridge
Maintain a complete overview
Traditional BI and control programs focus mainly on individual IT systems but not on the interaction between them. As a result, a genuinely comprehensive overview of your business is missing.
Our dashboards take a different approach: both operational processes and their integration are displayed. Instead of a patchwork solution we make possible an end2end overview that is deserving of the name. With this approach you maintain a continuous overview of all the IT systems and manual tasks (UI) involved. With the standardized cockpit, your entire system is in view at all times.
The dashboards bridge the gap between management performance indicators and technical system information. Your sales turnover is as transparent in the dashboards as the reaction times of your systems. For each PAS BRIDGE process you will see clear graphical depictions of the process instance as well as all the relevant process parameters. In addition, parameters and processes from other systems can be easily integrated into the dashboard via a simple REST API. And not least you also have the possibility of defining actions which you can then easily activate by mouse click for every process instance.
The dashboards are as clearly arranged as they are comprehensive. For both your IT and your specialist departments this offers you significant benefits.
Benefits for your IT:
- Overview of your entire IT landscape
- Early identification of trends, before they cause problems
- Transparent analysis of cluster installations
Benefits for your specialist departments:
- Direct overview of weaknesses in your processes. For example, you will see immediately if particular process steps take too long or are overloaded.
- You will see an analysis of exactly those processes which important to you.
- You can analyse your system without the need for prior knowledge of dependencies.
