IDS Introduces Business Process Management

Today the managing of your business is even more critical then just a few years ago. With the introduction of web based services and web based information management competition is even greater. Interaction and control over internal processes and those of your customers have become an integral part of managing your business. IDS views this process as an absolutely essential step in the development of productive and effective Document Management and Workflow systems. IDS Edge and Edge Workflow products provide you with the ability to manage your valuable business information, track your business process, and make the best use of your customer and business information by applying and automating those rules which apply to your business.

To validate these processes and rules IDS offers Business Process Analysis as a pre-installation process to document and flow your business while defining the steps needed to implement a realistic and effective process. This is accomplished in three ways:

1. Extensive interviews and evaluation of the existing manual and automated processes in your business.

2. Development of graphical flows that reflect your current processes and recommended improvements.

3. In depth meetings with management and staff to review the processes and discuss weaknesses and controls.

4. Business Process Analysis consists of a review of the automated and manual processes through the following steps:

•  A. Discovery

•  B. Current process deployment

•  C. Business application rules

•  D. Overview of operations objectives and rules

•  E. Execution

•  F. Optimization

•  G. Workflow application

Once this process is completed and management concurs with findings and recommended improvements the final design is then transitioned into automated rules based flow templates. These templates are now made available to staff and management as an integrated daily process. Benefits of performing this step in the development of a Workflow and Information Management system are:

1. Actual confirmation of the business process.

2. A better understanding of information flow.

3. The ability to establish true rules based processes.

4. Identification of inefficient use of resources.

5. The establishment of process status reporting.

6. The ability to identify bottlenecks in the process thru visual tracking.

7. Better response to customer and management needs.

8. Better overall process management thru email alerts, noticing and automatic and manual task reassignment capabilities.

9. The ability to have managed coterminous processes.

10. Automated approvals and business processing based on user initiated predefined responses.

The cost that can be saved through the proper and effective application of Business Process Analysis quite often is substantial when compared to the replacement or redesign of ineffective systems. Quite often the initial steps in establishing and effective system are rushed and not properly evaluated.
