Has improved process modeling and analysis while supporting integration with organizational data
The process design in ARIS BPA does help with our operational efficiency. What we are doing is object library management for various kinds of objects that we are using in ARIS BPA during our process modeling. We are using that to do a lot of analysis on how many times a system is being used in how many processes, who are the major stakeholders, and if we enhance one system, how is it going to impact other processes and integrated processes. This is helping us a lot. Everything related to ARIS BPA is helping us with regards to enhanced processes, strengthened controls, identifying risks, assessing process capabilities, and identifying where the gaps are and what kinds of activities within the processes are automated and manual. We are doing a lot of things with regards to the processes as it is at our heart. Processes are one thing and then we have different kinds of things which are related to it, such as SLAs, guidelines, and policy. We are identifying areas of improvement in other documents as well.

Customer data has driven better decisions and highlights where workflow automation still needs improvement
The downside of Studio Creatio is when it is marketed as a no-code platform, it does not support creating any website or mobile application. It is an ecosystem or environment within which a user, developer, or implementation partner has to develop process automation. It is not a drag-and-drop tool to create an application. It is a workflow automation process and enterprise-grade application where an understanding of the platform is essential to use Studio Creatio. It is not an absolute no-code solution. There are some areas with no-code flexibilities, but for specific business use cases or workflows, an understanding of the Studio Creatio ecosystem and .NET technologies is essential.
