ProcessMaker offers a highly-customizable platform that empowers users to build and deploy their own processes. Low-code, drag-and-drop features allow every stakeholder to participate, allowing companies to sync business strategy with elegant code-based solutions. The ability to combine unique skillsets on one platform makes process optimization simple and effective. Collaborating on process design can help your company then align the design to meet goals set by the C-suite.To get the most from ProcessMaker, here are three features to boost your process optimization strategy: 1. Robust IntegrationsThe amount of integrations is vast. The best benefit of integrations is the fact you can use all of your tools in one system without abandoning them. Instead, integrations uplift and extend the value of your current software management suites. For instance, let’s say that you have a solution that is supposed to manage your documents, contacts, data, and more on one system. You may have 60% functionality, depth, or precision in every area, but not one area is specialized and automated to its fullest potential. Using a BPM platform like ProcessMaker that specializes in process automation helps you experience the best of both worlds — not only is your old software suites’ capabilities extended with the integrations, but you benefit from ProcessMaker’s niche specialty in process optimization. With integrations, the possibilities are truly endless. We integrate with everything from DocuSign and Adobe Sign to DokMee Document Management System, Apache systems, reporting tools, Slack, and more. Finally, you can manage all of your favorite tools on one centralized platform.2. Reporting ToolsIn addition to connectivity, reporting is a key feature that helps with process optimization. A lot of managers want the ability to see into the details regarding processes. SLA reports (Service Level Agreements) enable managers to see who is responsible for each part of the process, helping to supervise teams more effectively. Knowing this information creates higher visibility into the workflow, making it easier to spot who dropped the ball and where. Managers can then go directly to the source to address hold-ups or mistakes, only improving the process efficiency of the business.Reporting on ProcessMaker is also automated. This increases speed and transparency across the entire enterprise, further optimizing the way the business runs. You can use the tools provided by ProcessMaker, or integrate into a reporting tool like Pentaho to complete audits that are key to meeting compliance requirements.3. Information FlowAnother key feature that makes ProcessMaker so powerful for process optimization is the increased information flow. By this, we mean data transparency. Since all of the integrations connect on one platform, the data run together on the same system. The data is then accessible, easy to extract, and then analyze. Furthermore, ProcessMaker integrates seamlessly with data management systems and specialized reporting software to gain the benefits of their data and analytics capabilities on our platform. With ProcessMaker, you can extract data from all of your software tools and analyze it using advanced reporting tools. As a result, you see insights that were previously impossible to find when the data was confined to the individual, disparate software applications. Then, insights gleaned can be applied to optimize the automated process. This creates that “digital ecosystem” talked about earlier.
With these key features in mind, your business can experience the digital transformation needed to succeed in your process optimization strategy.Process optimization is a continuous effort that doesn’t happen overnight. Businesses that understand what it takes to remain competitive in their markets will leverage the advantages of process optimization. Doing so will lead to increased productivity, higher transparency, and greater efficiency in business processes. Considering a high-tech, yet easy-to-use workflow automation software?
