What is Hexagon TaskCentre?
Hexagon TaskCentre is a powerful suite of Business Process Management (BPM) tools that enable organisations to automate virtually any employee-driven business process.
The graphical task scheduler allows the user to define the automation process, tasks are either scheduled on a time basis or triggered by an action in the database.
What can TaskCentre be used for?
Typical uses of TaskCentre include:
- Automated Exception Reporting – Notify someone by email if a certain event occurs in the database (e.g. a bank account balance going below a certain value)
- Automated Document Distribution – Issue reports periodically without manual intervention (e.g. monthly management reports, tenant statements, supplier remittances as a result of BACS payment run)
- Automated Posting – Post transactions automatically according to set rules (e.g. automatic accrual and income deferral postings)
- Automated Web Updates - Regularly update a web-site with information from a database (e.g. properties to let)
- Workflow - add enhanced Workflow capabilities to your applications (e.g. intelligent routing of authorisations)
TaskCentre allows complete flexibility of use as each task is defined to customer requirements.

TaskCentre is simple to setup and maintain
An example of its application is demonstrated as follows:
|
Create and Name the new Task from the main Task Window. From here all the tasks that have been configured can be seen and when they were last run. Then, using the Task Design window and the Tool Browser, select the actions required to build a Task and configure them accordingly. |

Finally, a Task will be run and generate the required output. Tasks can be run manually to produce the output, or more importantly, can be scheduled to run automatically by a set frequency as required. |
