The Process Manager is the core Perfectus component and is responsible for managing the actual document creation process.

The key functions of the Process Manager are:

• Package Manager - Stores and versions Perfectus packages created with the IP Manager and published to the server.
• Process Coordinator - Manages the entire business process flow, starting with the Easy Interview , storing of the subsequent answers and outcomes, assembly of the process output documents in the formats required, and then distribution of the final documents by the required distribution methods.
• Document Assembly - Highly scalable XML-based document assembly function which merges one or many document templates with the answers and outcomes from an Easy Interview. This function takes advantage of .NET free threading and server load balancing to support enterprise-level document assembly volumes.
• Publisher - The Publisher is the component responsible for rendering the Easy Interview as HTML in a web browser for the end user. It utilizes the Microsoft IIS web server platform. It also presents a SOAP interface for rendering Easy Interview s via alternate web server technologies.
