Rapid Application Development Software For Digital Innovation

Rapid application development software is driving a whole new approach to the deployment and operation of digital applications. Organizations are racing to take advantage of these low coded applications to enter new markets, attract new buyers, and retain their hard-won existing customers. In so doing, they are opening a new front in the digital wars; namely, transformation of the way that those very digital applications are created, deployed, and enhanced.

For applications to provide value to the enterprise, they must be extensible, usable and able to integrate with a changing IT environment. Yet, what is among the more critical aspects of application value is when apps can unite development and IT operations teams to quickly and efficiently adapt and grow in response to an organization’s changing needs. Rapid app development software provides a path that enables businesses to use Process Director to deliver data and functionality through digital channels and across different platforms and form factors.

Electronic Forms Software (eForms Software)

By BP Logix on Nov 1, 2018 9:54:00 AM

electronic-forms-software-eforms-software

A Simpler Approach to Building and Automating Your Electronic Forms

Why spend time coding when you could be innovating? Process Director BPM software provides electronic forms software (eforms software) with easy to use eForm builders that allow users to create electronic forms in the development environment in which they are familiar. Process Director's electronic forms software gives users the ability to design responsive and user-friendly web interfaces for their process-driven forms and applications that deliver business-critical results.

Using WYSIWYG interfaces with an HTML5 compliant browser, users with only a little training can rapidly create new functionality for their applications and processes. Those familiar with solutions like MS Word, the worlds' most used page layout solution, can now easily also create eForms. And for those that want to build using HTML, there is even a Visual Studio plug-in for building forms in an IDE.

We’ve added custom controls to our electronic forms software (like dropdown menus, radio buttons, e-signatures, and many, many more), giving you the tools to start creating rich digital forms with interactive user interfaces right away. Once the page is designed, use Process Director’s point-and-click UI to add rich, interactive behaviors without coding. With our eForms software you can create responsive digital forms, business process management (BPM) functionality, and dashboards and reports that work with existing applications and on different form factors like tablets, mobile phones and other devices. The result is a flexible, adaptable user interface, customized to your specific needs.

Dynamic eForms Software

  • Show/hide, protect/unprotect fields or entire sections on Smart Forms dynamically
  • Set dynamic form behavior based on easily configured conditions (e.g., “show this section only while in workflow step A”)
  • Electronic forms software with responsive functionality will automatically resize forms to render and work on smart phones, tablets and other devices
  • Change form appearance based on user input, process status, client device, or any other information
  • eForms software that automatically adjusts appearance, behavior for small form-factor devices

Smart Form Data Validation

  • eForms software that automatically validates common inputs such as phone numbers and email addresses
  • Simple point-and-click configuration for more complex validations (e.g., “end date is at least 30 days after start date”)
  • Invalid fields automatically highlighted for easy correction
  • Validate data on input or on form submission
  • Validate input against external data sources

Access

  • Electronic forms software that easily configures eForms to display only the information the end user needs and is permitted to see
  • Form access controlled by fine-grained permissions, ensuring that only those forms any individual requires will be available to them
  • Securely present forms outside the firewall without compromising your applications or data within

External Database Integration

  • Direct access to your organization’s data, right on the digital form
  • Fill dropdowns, search for information, or pre-populate fields—all without coding—using Process Director’s intelligent data connectors
  • Connect to data sources via SQL, web services, file uploads, and more

Routing Slips

  • Permanent record of every task performed and its result
  • Provides verifiable confirmation of approval, rejections, or other actions
  • Include comments, user pictures,  electronic signature technology

Digital Signature Technology

Electronic Signature | BP Logix
Electronic forms software with electronic signature technology allows BPM and workflow software applications to provide the types of non-repudiation, compliance and security that industries have been looking for. Process Director eForms software supports the major three types of digital signatures:

Digital Signatures

Our electronic forms software allows us to verify not only that a document was signed by the individual whose signature is affixed, but also that the contents of the document have not been changed since then. Automatically affix digital signatures to PDF documents that are automatically created in workflow. As a result, you and your counterparty are both assured of the document’s authenticity.

Electronic Signatures

Like the familiar pen-and-ink signature, an electronic signature is a way to indicate that a specific person acknowledges or agrees to the contents of a given document. Electronic signatures may or may not look like their traditional counterparts, but in many countries, including the United States, the European Union and Australia, electronic signatures carry the same legal authority. With our electronic forms software within Process Director, an electronic signature is applied each and every time an individual takes any action within a workflow. This mechanism provides a reliable audit trail for each process, enabling you to sail through audits, comforted in the knowledge that every activity can be traced back to its actor.

eSign

Electronic signatures are perfect when your process actors are part of your organization. By logging into the system, a user’s electronic signature is permanently connected to that individual.
Sometimes, though, you have process actors who are outside your organization, such as customers, partners, or suppliers. In such cases, the electronic signature is not clearly attached to a specific person. For these situations, Process Director's electronic forms software offers external users the ability to sign documents directly using their mouse, or a stylus (or even their finger) on a tablet such as the iPad.

Benefits of BPM Software: Advantages of BPM With Process Director

By BP Logix on Oct 31, 2018 1:30:03 PM

benefits-of-bpm-advantages-of-bpm

Learn the Benefits of BPM and Workflow with Process Director BPM Software

BP Logix Process Director provides many workflow advantages and BPM advantages as it empowers IT professionals by providing a BPM software solution that encompasses the benefits of BPM such as workflow automation, business process automation, document management, electronic forms and business rules to make lifecycle management and collaboration efficient and effortless.

Request a free BPM software demonstration to learn more about the advantages of BPM and advantages of workflow automation.

The Benefits of BPM Software from an iBPMS with Integrated Workflow and Business Rules

Process Director is an iBPMS that offers many workflow advantages and BPM advantages as it provides users with an intuitive, web-based rapid application development software that enables users to create and maintain Smart Forms of any complexity without requiring software development or IT resources. The integrated business rules engine provides a powerful graphic interface to define rules and conditions that control the behavior of the forms - and to easily route forms online in accordance with defined business processes, addressing any business function that involves completing or routing a form. Seamless integration with Process Director’s workflow engine, presenting users with familiar forms, pre-populating the forms, automatically kicking off the review and approval cycle, instantaneously track and auditing all tasks are some of the workflow advantages and BPM advantages of this integrated approach.

Process Director also incorporates a business rules engine that empowers users to rapidly implement more complex business processes. Business rules are reusable objects that can be embedded within your workflow processes to conditionally control how they should run and behave in various conditions. Business rules can be defined either as simple conditions or sophisticated interrelated rule sets. Process Director is an "out-of-the-box" product that is easy to install and administer.

Benefits of BPM Software: Streamlined Workflow Management

  • Speeds Internal Routing Processes: Reduces paper handling and manual routing; eliminates errors and reduces the lifecycle of document, content and forms processing.
  • Automates Business Processes: One of the workflow advantages of Process Director is that the workflow engine automates business processes by giving business users easy-to-use workflow tools. It allows existing processes to be mapped into powerful, predefined workflows. A graphical workflow builder and workflow reporter give users control over their workflows.
  • Shortens Projects: Time-to-market is critical for all organizations. Workflow automation software and tracking accelerate the approval of internal projects. All members of a group or team can simultaneously perform tasks as part of the workflow process. Automatic email notifications alert members when a task is assigned to them—or if they are in jeopardy of missing a due date.
  • Eliminates Errors and Miscommunications: Ensures process consistency, eliminating errors and problems due to lost or mishandled requests. Pre-defined workflow definitions guarantee that the same process is followed for each project or request. The products provide efficient tracking, management and reporting on all running processes.

Benefit of BPM Software: Electronic Forms

  • Reduce Costly Paper Handling and Manual Routing: Paper-based forms are costly to print, store, distribute, mail, and process. Automation of form processing ensures there is no disconnect between a form and the business process required for that form.
  • Tracking, Auditing, and Process Awareness: Instant access to current and prior activity, including completed forms and processes, ensures that authorized users have immediate access to the information they need. Having visibility into a form's complete lifecycle reduces cost, improves quality, and ensures access to vital business information.
  • Accelerate the Delivery of Form-Based Information: The BP Logix workflow software automatically routes completed forms to appropriate users for review/approval. The routing provides automated email notifications and personalized task lists for users who must review or approve a form. Users can complete tasks directly from within an email, even when offline.
  • Reduce Errors and Improve Accuracy: Pre-populating form fields from external sources and form segment isolation enable users to input only the data required of them. This results in fewer areas to complete, reducing errors and ensuring greater accuracy.
  • Expedite Collection of Quality Information: Presenting users with electronic forms that appear similar to their paper-based predecessor eases the transition to the form completion process and improves the quality of information collected. Integrated form help, field pre-population and instant validation improve the end user experience and reduce expensive support calls.

Benefits of BPM Software: Document Workflow Management System

  • Maintain Document Integrity and Security: BP Logix Server stores documents securely on the server, giving authorized users access to the most current version of each document. By assigning roles and granting permission, you can ensure secure access to all documents stored on the server.
  • Locate Documents Faster: Integrated document workflow management system features provide users with rapid access to documents based on their classification. Advanced search, indexing and categorization allow documents to be located quickly and easily so users can make timely business decisions.
  • Reduce Software and Training Costs: The Process Director interface is 100% web-based; native authoring applications are not required to review or approve documents. Documents are viewed inside your browser making the interface easy to use. No additional training is required.
  • Maintain Regulatory Compliance: Mitigate the risks associated with electronic information management and regulatory compliance. Comprehensive security management, access control, and auditing features enable your organization to maintain compliance with various regulatory mandates (Sarbanes-Oxley, FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA).
  • Eliminate Errors and Miscommunication: Efficiently communicate and collaborate on documents. Eliminate the "print/markup/fax" approach to document and content review, replacing it with easy-to-create graphical annotations. And you can foster real collaboration with members of your team or workgroup.

Benefits of BPM Software: A Dynamic Business Rules Engine

  • Increase Accuracy of Data and Processes: The rules engine allows your business policies to be defined and automated.
  • Ensure Consistency of Regulations: Reusable rules can be used by various objects to ensure that a policy is consistent across multiple processes.
  • Only be Alerted of Events You Deem Important: You define the rules that determine when you should be notified or alerted to events.
  • Allow Decision-Making Rules to be Easily Understood: With the graphical rules interface, your rules are easy to read and report on so you know how your processes are configured to behave.

Business Application Development

By BP Logix on Oct 25, 2018 8:04:14 AM

business-application-development-extensible-software

Extensible Software For Your BPM and Workflow Needs

Extensible software applications are an important part to business process management (BPM) because there can still be a mismatch between the features of off-the-shelf applications and the very specific needs of a given business. Custom business application development acts as the glue that fills these gaps, taking data from one or more systems, pushing that data through a process, and updating other systems as appropriate.

Thus, the real leverage of a BPM software solution with custom business application development is found in its ability to combine proprietary processes and data with off-the-shelf applications. However, that leverage is weakened considerably if the BPM solution itself requires custom programming, and all the overhead that goes along with it.


Using Process Director's custom business application development features, you can create complex, cross-functional workflows and rich, interactive forms without writing a single line of code. BP Logix works closely with technology partners and customers that have highly specialized requirements, and who are able to leverage Process Director’s comprehensive extensible software toolkit (SDK) and easy-to-access database. Taken together, the SDK and open database make it easy to extend and integrate Process Director in any direction you want to take it.

Programmatic APIs and Custom Tasks

Process Director is an extensible software solution equipped with numerous hooks and callouts supporting scripted interactions based on the product’s API. Workflows, forms, business rules: virtually any Process Director object can be augmented by scripting. You can also take advantage of Process Director custom tasks to create packaged, reusable scripts that can be treated as “black boxes” by your workflow and form builders.

Web Services / REST

Your applications can access Process Director data and manipulate the product’s behavior through the product’s extensive web services APIs. Process Director web services are WSDL-based and REST-enabled. Virtually any Process Director feature or function can be manipulated via web services.

Relational Database

Process Director stores all data in your relational database. The product supports MS SQL Server or Oracle RDBM systems. This information is structured in a documented schema, enabling easy access to external applications and report writers (such as Crystal Reports). For even simpler access, Process Director automatically generates SQL views of form and process data.

Other Features

Process Director an innovative and powerful business process management engine combining the power of BPM software, workflow software and case management solutions with the flexibility and leverage of rapid application development—with no programming. Workflow software and eForms are just the beginning of digital business application development. Process Director is an extensible software solution that combines the easiest and most efficient BPM software in the industry with a rich set of custom business application development tools offering snap-in data integration, rapid prototyping and release, and comprehensive reporting and analytics.

Check out these BPM examples to see how customers in every sector are successfully using Process Director's business application development tools to prepare and deliver transparent, end-to-end digital applications offering engaging customer experience, robust business process governance, regulatory compliance, and smooth, efficient operations.

Sharepoint Alternative Solution

By BP Logix on Oct 24, 2018 12:22:51 PM

sharepoint-alternative

Process Director BPM Software as a SharePoint Alternative

If your organization is currently using SharePoint or if you’re searching for  better a Sharepoint alternative, then Process Director BPM software is the perfect solution. While Microsoft SharePoint includes some basic workflow functionality out-of-the-box, as well as separate tools for developing more advanced workflows, it’s not the only BPM solution available to manage, monitor and optimize workflows and business processes. In fact, while organizations may have chosen SharePoint for its collaboration, file sharing, and publishing capabilities, many are now looking for a SharePoint alternative for business process management (BPM) solutions when it comes to automating and monitoring anything beyond the most basic workflow scenarios.

Most businesses turn to SharePoint BPM but they underestimate the complexity of their existing processes. Translating a business process–such as onboarding a new employee–from a paper-based, manual process to a forms-driven, software-based process can be challenging. This kind of effort requires organizations to document and diagram the process; clarify roles, responsibilities, logic and decision points; and then map these steps and processes to capabilities provided by the software tools at hand. Translating the manual, human-based process of “bugging Mary in HR to approve a change" into a technology-based process that involves emails, reminders and escalations is challenging.

Indeed, most organizations interested in leveraging SharePoint workflows for more complex real-world workflows immediately find themselves stymied by the limitations of the out-of-the-box SharePoint workflows. At this point, organizations need to look at developing the more complex workflows. Microsoft offers its Designer product line which provides a range of tools that claim to provide “no code” solutions. More often than not, however, these solutions do require developers (and code) and are therefore considerably more complex to create and maintain than one might hope. Process Director from BP Logix is a SharePoint alternative that offers a powerful set of tools that organizations should consider when faced with the challenge of rapidly deploying flexible, robust workflow apps.


Like SharePoint, Process Director can be used to automate basic workflow tasks. Unlike SharePoint, however, Process Director has been designed to automate, manage, and optimize a variety of complex business processes across organizations. With built-in SharePoint integration points, Process Director can also be used to provide process automation on top of existing SharePoint workflow deployments.

Because it is a BPM platform, Process Director provides enterprise-strength BPM capabilities. The business rules engine enables business users to define and govern their processes with logic that is independent from the workflow, which provides greater flexibility and faster change when needed making it one of the most comprehensive SharePoint workflow alternatives on the market. In addition, the integration capabilities provide the ability to extend a complex business process across departments, and out to partners, suppliers, and customers.

Key Benefits of Using Process Director

Increased Efficiency

If business process improvement is important to a business then business process automation and metrics are a core requirement. Process Director measures the performance of each activity within a given process; as the process is executed over time, Process Director learns how its actual timeline varies from the original forecast. This unique capability, called predictive analysis, differentiates Process Director from other Sharepoint workflow alternatives as it alerts process owners that upcoming activities may not complete on time, even before those activities have started.

No Programming

Process Director is a rapid application development software making it extensible, usable and able to integrate with a changing IT environment. This allows organizations to arm themselves with the tools it needs to rapidly build and deliver complete, end-to-end digital applications: without programmers and with low code BPM or no code BPM. As a result, Process Director equips the business to respond to the fast-paced, ever-changing needs of the marketplace.

ROI

In any growing organization, the number of homegrown and off-the-shelf solutions accumulates pretty rapidly. Each one brings with it another team, another vendor, maintenance, updates, infrastructure, and training. Process Director gives the CIO the opportunity to start replacing those products with a flexible, customizable, streamlined solution addressing a huge variety of business needs in operations, finance, HR, IT, sales, and other areas. With fewer vendors, less maintenance, reduced training costs, smaller infrastructure, Process Director helps organizations increase their ROI.

Document Workflow Management System

By BP Logix on Oct 18, 2018 9:27:19 AM

document-workflow-management-system

Simplify the Organization, Location and Distribution of Documents, Content and Electronic Forms

Process Director’s document workflow management system has integrated functions that simplify the organization, location and distribution of documents, content and electronic forms. Data is automatically assigned metadata, allowing approved information and content to be made available to internal or external users.

Process Director Document Workflow Management System Features

Process Director includes two key document workflow management features that help simplify the organization and distributions of electronic forms and electronic documents:

  • Knowledge Views

Knowledge Views form the foundation of our document workflow management system comprised with intelligent navigation, searching, retrieval, data mining, charting and ultimately delivery of information and knowledge. A Knowledge View allows both authenticated and anonymous users to navigate and retrieve related content or display it graphically. A Knowledge View provides a simplified, focused view so that end users are presented with only the information they need making the managing of documents efficient. Users can easily “zoom in” using a dynamic table of contents built by the Knowledge View to retrieve documents, Smart Forms or process related information.

  • Hierarchal Taxonomy

A hierarchical taxonomy offers business users the ability to structure content in the way that makes the most sense for their organization. Process Director's document management system supports a flexible and easy metadata structure that enables you to categorize and label documents, Smart Forms, and digital content, making information more secure and easier to locate.

Process Director Document Workflow Management Use Cases

Whittier Health Network

Whittier Health Network, founded in 1982, provides quality, comprehensive medical care to its residents in a compassionate “family” care setting.

Employing 2,500 people across 12 locations became a challenge every fall when the benefit enrollment process was initiated. As it had to be completed for all employees within a three week timeframe, the sheer volume of documents that had to be processed made the process onerous. Seeking an enterprise document management system that would take the pain out of the benefit enrollment process and achieve efficiencies was the IT department’s primary objective. Any document management solution Whittier acquired had to include workflows, electronic forms, an automated review and approval process and be competitively priced.

National Eye Institute

One of the requirements National Eye Institute faced dealt with improving its document management system in regards to its retention processes and procedures. One of the most visible sets of documents within NEI involved its ethics reporting process. Since reporting requirements also change from year to year, every Institute employee has to complete forms, validate ownership of funds, and be prepared to address financial and also moral ethics requirements. No sooner had the current year’s ethics reporting been completed than the process of vetting employees for the new year began again.

NEI needed a system that built on a methodology that was easy to configure, would enable information to be extracted and analyzed and addressed its IT security requirements as well. Process Director provided the document workflow management system solution National Eye Institute needed. From its early work in document management, National Eye Institute turned to Process Director to handle document disposition, storage and retention.

Just Because You’re Away From the Office Doesn’t Mean You’re Out of the Loop.

Mobile BPM and mobile workflow solutions can undoubtedly give an organization more options as to how the company conducts its business. Processes and workflows require people to make decisions and add information at different points along the way. A process that is making use of all available data will need the input of people who may not necessarily be on-premise, or operating from the same type of device.

Process Director BPM Software is Web-Based and Mobile Friendly

Business Applications: New Approaches to Business Software Development Are Changing How the World Works

By BP Logix on Oct 3, 2018 2:57:12 PM

business-applications-business-software-development-changing

We recently launched a new educational series: It’s Time to Think Differently About Applications, which will provide a series of articles, videos, and other resources that explain how organizations can gain advantages from a new, innovative approach to business application development. The purpose is not solely to offer a prescriptive roadmap for how you can improve and accelerate app development. It’s also about creating an organizational mindset around how to use business applications more effectively to address customer needs.

The series will be populated with new resources periodically over the coming weeks. It is our hope that these items will be both instructive and energizing. Most will undoubtedly recognize how there is a better way, one enabled by lean, modern technologies, that that will have dramatic impact on the way they concept business applications and use teams to build them.

Internet entrepreneur turned venture capitalist, Marc Andreessen, famously said, “Software is eating the world.” His point was that more and more of global economic activity is dependent upon business software applications and the processes they enable. People adapt to those changes through their behaviors, which created a rush to build better business applications. This, in turn, encourages employees, consumers, and others to buy, communicate, share, and transact online.

Andreessen made this comment in a 2011 Wall Street Journal essay; a lot has changed since then. With the rise of the cloud, mobile, and IoT, we are in the age of digital transformation. One might extend the metaphor to evolve to something like, “The way business software is developed is eating software.” OK, that might be a stretch, but the fact is that organizational activity is increasingly reliant on transaction-based processes, which are then delivered to stakeholders in the form of business software applications. These are the drivers of efficiency and revenue, and to accomplish standard business goals at today’s pace demands that these applications be built and adapted continuously, as business needs change.

The movement enabling this is digital transformation, which is all about change. However, change is not a goal unto itself. For organizations going through this transformative process, the effect that come from implementing new, agile, continuously innovative technology is that they are better able to adapt to changing business needs by applying technology rapidly and accurately to solve specific problems. To be successful, there has to be an understanding of how to use the right technology, and how to best apply it to the right situations.

For most people, the idea of app development is synonymous with coding and all the methodologies that come with it. But we’ve moved into an environment where non-technical people can take control of their tasks and goals by adapting business applications to help them achieve their goals. In the first piece in the series, Intellyx analyst Charles Araujo explains five ways to think differently about applications, and he initiates it with an emphasis on the customer journey. At BP Logix, we spend a lot of time with customers so we can learn from them and how they use Process Director. By understanding how they build business applications and leverage them to connect employees, partners, customers, and other stakeholders, we are better able to improve our own product. But we also learn the outcomes of how they integrate Process Director BPM software into their organization and how it supports their own needs. The ones who have been most successful, in terms of ROI of technology investments and overall revenue increase, are the ones who have created a culture of transformation driven by business applications.

Irrespective of how long you’ve been developing or using business applications, changes brought about by this new paradigm are welcome ones: less code, bigger ability to continuously push new features and functionality, and an agile BPM approach to integration and deployment. For everyone involved with driving business results, understanding that application development is a key part of this, and then understanding HOW to do it is precisely where they will create competitive advantages from business applications. Our educational series will offer all kinds of insights to support their efforts, and we encourage you to join them and us.

With the addition of leading-edge solutions, a new approach to business process management (BPM), and a dedication to change, organizations are adopting transformative strategies that improve the value of what they deliver to customers, and also position themselves for continued change. No aspect of this, however, is more material to the advancement of business goals than  application development, and the organizations that adopt new, innovative approaches are the ones who will reap the rewards of competitive advantages, more efficiency, and more profitable engagement with customers.

Digital Transformation: Influencers Validate Process Director BPM Software As Key To Success

By BP Logix on Sep 24, 2018 7:04:26 AM

digital-transformation-bpm-software-key-to-success

A recent TechTarget article by Jan Stafford painted a highly favorable picture of our flagship product, Process Director, and key aspects of AI, predictive analysis and other features that define the most recent version, 5.0. The piece offers a great overview and we’re grateful for the insightful and appreciative perspective Stafford brings to the topic of BPM and digital transformation.

Because we get to see how customers apply BPM functionality and what it ultimately does for their organizations, we have an even deeper perspective that has helped us define the roles that AI-enabled BPM software and intelligent workflow play in actually providing the foundation for the elusive holy grail of all innovative organizations - digital transformation.

What Digital Transformation Means To BP Logix

Now, we recognize that digital transformation can have a lot of different meanings. Indeed, some see it merely as a buzzword, but Process Director initiated the use of predictive intelligence as a core element of BPM. In our minds, digital transformation transforming one’s business isn’t just about transforming one’s business by moving from legacy systems to cloud or mobile environments. Our feeling has been that the value of BPM is in it’s inclusiveness. When business processes include the right people who have access to the most meaningful data, and who can then deliver results that meet specific objectives, we believe that in and of itself is transformative.

Our predilection for collaboration and context led us to make use of BPM and AI to drive users towards better outcomes. As organizations benefited from better compute capabilities provided by more agile infrastructures, we are able to equip them with a BPM solution that anticipates user behavior, expected results, and how to identify and make use of the right applications and data sources for the job. These new platforms could transact, crunch, and make sense of user, process, resource, and event activities to provide a clear picture of optimal outcomes.

Process Director 5.0: BPM and AI Combined


Process Director’s use of AI Process Director’s use of AI includes machine learning , sentiment analysis, identification and highlighting of dissimilar events, and conditions in single state as well as agile, configurable environments. User data from processes and actions enables Process Director to learn from past history, spot trends and deviations from normalized behavior, and recommend appropriate courses of action based on these insights.

Stafford makes an astute point about Process Director’s use of AI when she says, "Rather than present complex AI features, Process Director 5.0 offers a set of basic machine learning tools that the average app developer can use, such as a point-and-click graphical interfaces that guide configuration processes and display results of analytics, with no coding required.” We recognize that not all organizations will have data scientists available to them to make sense out of massive amounts of data coming from Process Director’s machine learning functionality. It’s also not lost on us that many organizations are not necessarily interested in the data science itself; they want better information and it’s only through AI-enabled processes that they can get that.

We know there is not just a single way to move data and information around the organization. Infrastructures are complex things and combine legacy tools and approaches in conjunction with newer ways that apply agile digital transformation solutions to dynamic environments. The TechTarget piece highlights a comment from Intellyx analyst, Charles Araujo, who said: “The value Process Director 5.0 delivers is less about features, per se, and more about accessibility.” Araujo’s point about accessibility extends not just to users, but also to data sources and the other tools being used in IT environments to provide better intelligence to processes. Access brings more meaning, and when AI is used, it also helps users plan with better precision.

Especially in the midst of evolving environments, where shadow IT can form and organizations rely more heavily on a “bring your own device” (BYOD) philosophy, BPM can act as a foundational element that keeps disparate systems, groups, and even rules and requirements organized around a forcing function; in this case, that function is BPM.

This is how digital transformation is allowed to happen. Some try to position it as a 1:1 migration, as if a company could shut down operations while systems move from massive databases to the cloud. Things don’t work like that; workloads are moved into new, dynamic environments incrementally, but they can’t lose their functionality during the transition phase. It’s up to BPM to maintain consistency and ultimately to enhance the use of data and the technology investment by creating better, more inclusive processes.

Stafford also makes the case that the low-code/no-code BPM approach to application development Process Director offers is core to BPM acting as a foundation for digital transformation. The right tools in the right organization can go a long way towards helping transform how work is accomplished, but giving people the ability to actively engage with these BPM software tools and contextual data to effect change is what truly has a transformative effect.

Bottom Line

BP Logix recognizes that those closest to business issues are in the best position to create corresponding solutions. Having the ability to adapt as goals and business needs change, all without having to engage with IT or apply technical expertise results in faster implementation of meaningful solutions. People being able to respond rapidly to issues, coupled with BPM software tools that support their need to make changes, all leads to the best kind of digital transformation.

Business Process Management (BPM) Overview: The What, Why & How

By BP Logix on Sep 20, 2018 9:31:01 PM

business-process-management-bpm

What is Business Process Management (BPM)?

Business process management (BPM) is the practice of refining business processes that will increase process efficiency and profitability using modeling, business process automation, measurement and optimization of business workflows.

Why is Business Process Management Important To Your Organization?

As business managers, we're expected to embrace − and manage − change in such a way that our businesses grow (and do so with the least amount of disruption.) Business process management (BPM) can play an important role here. And this is especially true in IT, as often the most noticeable changes are the result of changes in software technology which, in turn, bring about improvements in the way people work.

IT departments are faced with both managing change and improving productivity. When information flow is manual and paper-based, IT has an opportunity to accomplish both goals.  There are many processes that are a part of the changes management wants to embrace that lend themselves to improving production and increasing productivity. Among them are:

  • Onboarding/offboarding and transferring employees
  • Ensuring access to applications and resources
  • Providing a secure approval process for processing requests
  • Coordinating requests across departments, facilities, vendors, and suppliers
  • Ordering and supplying software, hardware and equipment
  • Obsoleting or disposing of assets
  • Maintaining and accessing information for audits

The solution to these challenges resides with automating change control. Business process management software provides a consistent method for routing and tracking the flow of IT requests and information.

What is Business Process Management Software?

BPM software is software that enables organizations to improve process efficiency by monitoring, optimizing and automating their business process with data and analytics.

What Are the Benefits of BPM Software?

When you look at how business process management software and workflow software have helped companies achieve business process improvement, you may start to get eager to start reaping the benefits of BPM software and everything that comes with it such as improved process efficiency and productivity. Considering that companies are reporting a 75% reduction in data entry, and are 50% faster in making decisions is exciting.

How BP Logix Can Help

What is iBPMS?

The evolution of BPM technology, like most technology, has happened quickly. Within the industry, we have seen great strides and early adopters have come along on that journey to see truly revolutionary advances. As more enterprises look to streamline business processes and build leaner, more efficient business models, so must BPM technology become more effective. Therefore, Gartner has recently introduced the concept of intelligent BPM (iBPMS).

Gartner defines iBPMS as platforms  with "capabilities such as validation (process simulation, including "what if") and verification (logical compliance), optimization, and the ability to gain insight into process performance have been included in many BPMS offerings for several years. iBPMSs have added enhanced support for human collaboration such as integration with social media, mobile-enabled process tasks, streaming analytics and real-time decision management."

BP Logix’s Process Director has been named to the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Intelligent Business Process Management Suites (iBPMS) for several years in a row.

What is BPMN?

In the year 2000, the Business Process Management Initiative, a group of individuals intent on promoting the concept of BPM, gathered together and created the ‘Business Process Model and Notation’, or BPMN. This tome, now over 500 pages, has been managed by the Object Management Group since 2004 and serves as the authority for Business Process Modeling Language (BPML) today.

Business Process Modeling (BPMN) vs Process Timeline


Process Timeline workflow engine is a business process modeling alternative that uses a newer modeling approach that is more advanced than any BPMN software. It is the executable model, not just a “view”, that provides business process automation solutions like:
  • Continuous critical path analysis
  • Predictive triggers
  • Earliest possible notice of potential future delay
  • High efficiency
  • Intrinsic parallel behavior

Approval Software: Approval Workflow Management

By BP Logix on Sep 5, 2018 12:40:14 PM

review-and-approval-workflow-software

Automate, Track and Record All Your Review and Approval Workflow Processes

Sometimes it seems like everything you do at work requires some type of review and approval workflow process. Whether artwork or documentation, purchasing orders or vacation requests, everything has to be checked and re-checked before proceeding.

Review and approval workflow process such as routing paperwork to the right people in the right order—without losing anything along the way— can be a difficult challenge:

  • Requests are sent off with no way to track where they stand at any given moment
  • Paper forms are inherently error-prone and easy to misplace
  • A missing link in the review and approval chain, due to absence or unavailability, can bring the whole process to a halt
  • Responding to audit or discovery requests can be expensive, time-consuming, and produce unreliable results
  • Paperwork can rarely be handled by multiple individuals in parallel: it must make its way sequentially through the process

The reasons listed above are why forward thinking organizations are searching for automated approval software solutions  to solve their review and approval workflow challenges which can help reduce operational cost and improve employee satisfaction.

Leo Burnett Case Study

The Problem

Leo Burnett Worldwide is one of the world’s largest agency networks and the parent company of Leo Burnett and its marketing services arm, Arc Worldwide. They had identified the need for a more formal, technology-based solution to route client estimates for approval. Recognizing that automating the Agency’s project estimating procedure was a priority, that team had agreed to replace a tool which had outgrown its original scope. They needed a review and approval software solution to route estimates for the work that every client requests from the agency, as all estimates created for clients goes through a process that involves periodic updates along the way.

The Solution

Leo Burnett chose Process Director as their approval software solution and soon after Leo they decided to license Process Director they identified a ‘short list’ of 12-15 projects. The Automated Estimating System (AES) was the first one that needed to be addressed and completed as the agency needed a uniform workflow software solution to route, manage, review and approve all client estimates.

In the Leo Burnett environment there are designated users who create estimates for all new work entertained by the agency. Depending upon specific project criteria, each estimate is required to have specific levels of approvals prior to the commencement of work. These criteria are predefined and have been built into Process Director, allowing each estimate to run through a corresponding approval that routes it to the correct agency and client approvers. The approvers receive email notifications and are able to open, review and approve the estimates entirely within the system. Automating the estimating process drives efficiency, while allowing the agency to maintain strict internal controls and ensure that each review and approval workflow are received in the correct sequence and from the appropriate parties.

Application Integration

By BP Logix on Aug 28, 2018 6:55:03 AM

application-integration

Organizations go to great lengths to explain to prospective BPM vendors their company culture and how technology is used therein: from overworked IT departments that are not able to respond to change requests in a timely manner, or a remote sales team that operates predominantly in the field who requires mobile and cloud capabilities, or that the main users are youthful and more accustomed to consumer-like user interfaces. No matter the situation, companies due their due diligence to be clear on what application integration capabilities are required in their potential workflow solution and how it should augment within their current infrastructure.

Extensibility and Enterprise Application Integration Capabilities

Process Efficiency

Improve Business Processes With BPM Software

process-efficiency

Organizations want to grow and prosper, but the process efficiency they rely on is not always optimized to get them where they want to go. Just like any system, a change of focus or direction creates an inefficient use of the underlying foundation. While we all expect to be able to adapt to the new environment, we still have to run our business. Stopping to re-tool does not always seem to be a prudent step towards improving business processes.

Business process management software is software that enables organizations to improve process efficiency through business process automation by monitoring and optimizing their business processes with data and analytics. It’s equipped with a series of business process management tools that help model, automate, execute, control, measure and optimize business processes.

Business Process Efficiency Improvement Due To Growth

BPM software and workflow software provide great value because, done the right way, it can integrate organizational behavior and legacy systems in a flexible way. As your organization changes, business process management and process efficiency can adapt with it.

Perhaps you are at a point where, “what got you here won’t get you there.” That is a natural state for an organization because it reflects growth. That is good. The fact that you recognize the need to operate in a different way is also good. This is the right time to think about how your organization and your business processes can be improved with BPM software.

Liquid Controls Improves Business Processes With Process Director BPM Software

Liquid Controls

Liquid Controls, a division of IDEX Corporation, has been a leader in flow measurement and process control instrumentation for over 50 years. The company serves a variety of industries from adhesives and beverages to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Its products are used in fields as diverse as agriculture, manufacturing, the military, textiles and printing ink. Liquid Controls relies on in-house designs and a network of strategically located distributors to ensure that global customers are supported with technology tailored to each industry’s particular requirements.

Problem

Like most successful companies, Liquid Controls (LC) has an intranet that employees access for the forms and information they are seeking – from policies and procedures to expense forms. Employees wanted to make changes to these documents to reflect changing business processes, however the existing system could not accommodate those changes.

In addition, the Intranet provided a sales quoting tool that was used daily. While the form itself was appropriate it did not include a workflow management software solution. As a result employees would complete the form then submit it for manually processing, resulting in many documents being lost or misplaced.

With so many forms on the intranet being static and manual, Liquid Controls’ intranet appeared to be more of a repository than the dynamic portal it was envisioned to be.

Solution

To address the business process efficiency need, Liquid Controls needed a system that would address the work the way that employees worked. They began searching for electronic forms software and document workflow solutions. The search was quickly expanded to include workflow solutions, however, as it became apparent that addressing the underlying need for business processes efficiency was very important. Additionally, the IT group wanted a solution that did not require extensive back end development. IT wanted :
•A fast implementation and roll-out.
•A product that would be easy to rewrite or change as business processes changed
•Version control capabilities.
•A workflow tool that would allow IT to process user requests rapidly.

Liquid Controls is using Process Director for workflow applications ranging from attendance and engineering change control to shop floor work constructions. One challenge was to provide the appropriate workflows to ensure that a new hire could be able to build a product to the same tolerance as a more senior employee. Building a flow meter , for example, requires 600 work constructions. Changes to the process are now done through a workflow. Approved instructions are published in real-time which makes them available to shop floor employees immediately.

The IT department lives in a world of non-stop projects. Liquid Controls is in expansion mode always, with new companies being bought all the time. There are also gaps between the old and new ERP systems. Process Director helps to fill the gaps.

And then there are the business process governance issues. Liquid Controls is audited at least once a year for its ISO accreditation, as well as undergoing Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) audits. Once an organization is ISO-certified, procedures must be available to anyone who need to see them. Process Director BPM platform aids in business process efficiency by automating reporting, monitoring and auditing of processes seamless and gives authorized employees and auditors access to the information they need and the approvals that were given.

Perhaps the biggest advantage Liquid Controls has gained from using Process Director is that the IT team does not need to write code due to rapid application development, allowing them to focus on deploying other BPM applications.

Liquid Control employees appreciate the user interface and friendliness of Process Director. IT appreciates the business logic that lets them dive as deep as necessary to be consistent with their business process. Process Director is a low code BPM solution that  enables Liquid Controls to improve their business process efficiency to drive from the results side backwards and to better leverage its investments.

The roadmap is simple, and we are here to help. Contact us and schedule a free BPM software demonstration today.

BPM Software and Customer Service

By BP Logix on Aug 8, 2018 6:56:49 AM

bpm-software-and-customer-service

The Evolution of Case Management Software Solutions

By BP Logix on Jul 27, 2018 2:35:23 PM

case-management-software-solutions

By now we know that business situations ranging from customer interactions to transactional exchanges are hardly the linear creatures of the past, and now require context and ongoing coordination. Because of this, case management software solutions have surged to the forefront as a natural replacement to the linear processes of yore. Cases involve actions by many different people, both inside and outside of the organization, with every action, message, response and document generated becoming a part of the whole. That being said, case management software solutions still face some issues around coordination, communication and the actions threaded therein.

Process Director BPM Software's Milestone Feature


With Process Director’s new Milestones feature, the goal of actionable communication within adaptive case management software solutions has now been achieved. Not only does Process Director’s Milestones feature allow you to define context within cases, as well as comment and collaborate around milestone events or conditions, it also gives you the power to train the milestone as an event itself, with the ability to drive process. With this, Milestones serves as a bridge not only between employees within a case, but also from the technical-to-business side and onward toward streamlining all-round best practices.

This is why BP Logix Process Director is the perfect fit for BPM and case management software solutions:
• Built on a formalized BPM and case management framework
No code/low code BPM interface allows for adaptive case management solutions, such as workflows, to be created by the user rather than developers.
• Multimodal run-time patters combining sequential flow style with both event-driven and time-driven execution.
• Automatically adapt and respond to incoming events and ad-hoc changes.
• Milestones component allows actionable communications that can also drive process

As well, the patented business process automation software technology, Process Timeline™, will allow you to:
• Know exactly where you are in the state of the case.
• Know exactly how much longer it will take for the case to be completed.
• Have clear vision into the compensating steps or remedial actions that need to be launched at any given time.

Analyst Nathaniel Palmer has this to say about Process Director’s Process Timeline: “What continues to set Process Director apart from its BPM and Case Management software competitors is the Process Timeline™ — an executable process model that presents a Gantt chart-oriented notation. The Process Timeline captures time as a formal process dimension in ways not possible with other models.”

The Trifecta Of Process Director’s Case Management Software Solutions

With a solid case management framework in place, and Process Timeline acting as a major dimensional enhancement, Milestones then finishes the trifecta to allow actionable communication to reach its pinnacle— giving your business the opportunity for stream-lined clarity within adaptive case management.

Change Control Management With BPM Software Leads To Better Business

By BP Logix on Jul 17, 2018 11:18:00 AM

Change-Control-Management

A business is not a sentient thing.  It's dynamic and lives according to patterns. There are thousands of processes, decisions, actions and reactions happening every day in businesses, regardless of size. The result of all that activity is change. For businesses that take the right risks and make smart decisions, change control management translates to growth.

Every good manager knows that the ‘status quo’ is rarely a good thing. To be successful, companies need to embrace change.  Yet as humans we are generally apprehensive about change because, well, it requires change. Change means forsaking some level of comfort now for the hope of realizing something better in the future: a better bottom-line, a more efficient way of doing things, a less complicated environment. We all have experienced a level of apprehension when it comes to change − but the idea of change in the way we conduct our business brings about an even great level of apprehension.

Embracing Change

As business managers, we're expected to embrace − and manage − change in such a way that our businesses grow (and do so with the least amount of disruption.) Business process improvement (BPI) and business process management (BPM) can play an important role here. And this is especially true in IT, as often the most noticeable changes are the result of changes in technology which, in turn, bring about in business process improvements in the way people work.

In this context we are talking about something beyond the scope of "change management." We are actually talking about changes that result from change control. Change control management is about managing change and using processes to deliver on change management goals.

IT vs Change Control Management

IT departments are faced with both managing change and improving productivity. When information flow is manual and paper-based, IT has an opportunity to accomplish both goals.  There are many processes that are a part of the changes management wants to embrace that lend themselves to improving production and increasing productivity. Among them are:

    • Onboarding/offboarding and transferring employees
    • Ensuring access to applications and resources
    • Providing a secure approval process for processing requests
    • Coordinating requests across departments, facilities, vendors, and suppliers
    • Ordering and supplying software, hardware and equipment
    • Obsoleting or disposing of assets
    • Maintaining and accessing information for audits

The Solution is Automation


The solution to these challenges resides with automating change control management. Business process automation software provides a consistent method for routing and tracking the flow of IT requests and information. We’ve seen customers like the National Institute of Mental Health and Columbus Technical College implement IT automation solutions that sit on top of Process Director. The results reflect marked improvement with regard to time, cost and efficiency.

With Process Director BPM software, IT departments achieve:

  • Process consistency
  • Greater visibility into their processes
  • Elimination of errors and delays
  • Improvements in productivity (no lost or mishandled requests)

We have all experienced changes introduced as a result of actions that IT has taken. We hope that underlying these actions are well-defined processes. At BP Logix, we are a BPM company that believes that business process management (BPM) facilitates change and  that, at its core, BPM software is a change control management tool that can bring about positive change for the organization.

Process Improvement: How BPM Can Improve Your Business

By BP Logix on Jul 12, 2018 11:19:24 AM

benefits-of-bpm-advantages-of-bpm

What is Process Improvement?

If you are looking for a one-time fix, then process improvement is not going to cut the mustard. Rather than a magic bullet, process improvement is a systematic, ongoing, and iterative methodology. After each round of improvement, an analysis and reevaluation occur before the next round, the results of which should be improved quality in whatever area is being targeted.

BPM platforms have facilitated process improvement by enabling businesses to design applications and automate processes that would otherwise be less efficient, less timely and less customer-focused. The concept behind low-code/no-code rapid application development is to allow those who have knowledge of their company’s culture, best practices, and ambitions to take the reins in creating applications to benefit their department and, in turn, their organization. If process improvement is an ongoing experience, then it follows that ongoing changes must occur within the applications themselves. This necessity for change means the platform upon which these processes are being structured must be nimble and intuitive enough to facilitate constant improvement.

One Step Beyond Other BPM Platforms


Process Director has emerged from the pack as a leader in process improvement with its combination of rapid application technology, predictive analysis and its unique process workflow engine, Process Timeline™. Process Timeline frees you to express your journey in the most natural way possible: by listing the steps along the way. Any part of your process can respond to any event, deadline, action, or condition. Anything that can happen in parallel simply…happens. There are no more head-scratching design sessions spent trying to figure out which things can happen at the same time, and which cannot. Finally, Process Timeline makes collaboration between IT and the business transparent and easy.

Process Director: Predictive and Intuitive


In addition to these innovations, Process Director 5.0 augments Process Timeline with new BPM AI -capabilities. The powers that be say that if you are reacting, it is already too late. Process Director’s machine learning components augment Process Timeline’s predictive analysis, using virtually any kind of information—document length, repair history, even Big Data streams generated by Internet-enabled devices (IoT)—to predict process behavior.

The use cases for the convergence of AI and BPM technology in digital applications are massive:
• Sales Process Automation: Predict the likelihood of a lead closing and alter the process in real-time
• Contract Negotiation: Forecast the odds of approval and allocate resources appropriately
• Customer Guidance: Based on historical user data, provide recommended actions to solve customer issues
• Manufacturing: Predict production-halting mechanical issues before they occur
• Loan Applications: Based on the amount, credit score, and type of loan, skip approval steps or indicate additional documentation that will likely be required
• Academic Admissions: Based on an applicant’s GPA, location and degree for which they are applying, predict the likelihood of scholarship, acceptance, or denial
