The main features of a BPM solution
Modeling
Process modeling is the 1st step required to describe in detail the steps, participants and management rules that characterize a business process, such as the follow-up of a customer claim or the processing of a supplier invoice:
- Graphical modeling of forms and workflows
- Management of actors, roles, prerogatives and access rights
- Delegation management and change of assignment
- Versioning and hot updating of workflows
- Accessible to both functional and non-IT staff
Execution
Process executionThe BPM application then interacts with the people and information systems required to handle each process step and instance. For example, when entering a customer complaint form, the BPM application will query the CRM application containing the customer's information, so that the operator need only enter the description and origin of the complaint. This saves time and avoids double entries. The BPM application will then escalate the claim to the right people, according to the rules and roles described and modeled in the BPM application:
- Workflow engine compatible with the BPMN standard
- Delegation management and change of assignment
- Automatic reminders and alerts in case of delay
- History and total traceability of the participants and changes
- Synchronization of several processes
- Connectors with ERP and DBMS applications
- Integration of LDAP and Active Directory.
Steering
Process management via control panels or business views, enabling users or process managers to monitor the progress of files and anticipate any anomalies or delays:
- Contextual management of the workspace according to each user's profile
- Application portal, widgets, indicators and customizable dashboards
- Multi-criteria and full text search tools
Improvement
Process improvement thanks to indicators and dashboards available in real time:
- On-the-spot indicators: where are we on the progress of a task? who? when? why?
- Cold indicators: what are the gaps? trends? bottlenecks?
- Possibility to easily create your own reports or dashboards
- Support for BI tools on the market such as QlikView, Microsoft Reporting Services, Business Objects, Cognos, etc.

The benefits of a BPM
Thanks to BPM software such as Process Studio, companies can improve their processes on several levels:
- Visibility : The description of processes will allow everyone in the company to better understand and contribute to customer expectations.
- Agility : automating tasks and handling exceptions through human intervention will speed up process execution and increase the processing capacity of teams.
- Traceability : the implementation of monitoring indicators and the history of operations: who? when? why? how?... will enable management to better track the progress of files, and above all to be able to communicate on any anomaly or delay in execution.
Profitability: BPM will enable better use of existing IT systems, while responding to new needs. The processes managed by the information system can be rapidly adapted to any organizational change or new product launch.
According to Gartner, 67% of BPM projects were implemented in less than six months and in 55% of cases the return on investment was between $100,000 and $500,000 (source Gartner).
