Consultant at a consultancy with 501-1,000 employees
A great BPM product for big companies. It needs to offer more configuration options than coding options.
Pros and Cons
- "Faster: industrialization of the renewal process with the automation of certain tasks and a clarified organization can handle a case 3 times faster."
- "It was complex for some of us (IT but non technical profiles)."
What is most valuable?
How has it helped my organization?
The scenario was a process of renewal of customer contracts, the improvements were :
- Faster: industrialization of the renewal process with the automation of certain tasks and a clarified organization can handle a case 3 times faster.
- More efficient: the renewal part by weight of non-renegotiated contracts processed instantly and adjustments made possible by monitoring the real-time tasks significantly increase the capacity of quantitative and qualitative processing contracts.
- Less expensive: the time saved as well as automated controls in place to avoid human errors and double entry treatments are examples of significant gains.
What needs improvement?
The tool needs to offer more configuration options than coding options. Develop the intuitive side to reach some functionalities (help).
For how long have I used the solution?
I used the solution for about 6 months to develop an application based on health services process.
