So your real life <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/bpm-system\/\">business process<\/a> has to follow what\u2019s been set up once inside the system.<\/p>\r\n<p><!--more-->\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/platform\/try\/\" onclick=\"ga('send', 'event', 'abtest', 'platform-banner-click');\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"pl-banner\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/cmw-platform-banner.png\" class=\"img-fluid my-5\" alt=\"CMW Platform banner\" title=\"CMW Platform banner\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>Have you ever had a situation of a hard coded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/blog\/difference-between-business-process-modeling-and-process-automation\/\">business process<\/a>, which is as old as a dinosaur, which you can use only partly when, for example, you start a process? The process is so old that it barely reflects the real state of things, so it\u2019s in fact much easier to simply keep on dealing with emails rather than involving the outdated process.<\/p>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<p>This happens because most solutions cost a king\u2019s ransom. And then any modification of an existing process requires a highly-experienced programmer. Not every company can afford it every day, and we often face the problem of pre-configured <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/workflow-software\/\">BPM solutions<\/a>: they simply grow too old too quickly.<\/p>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<p>Whenever you have any emergency process which is not presented in your existing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/workflow-software\/\">BPM solution<\/a>, you start managing the urgent situation with the help of emails, while the system estimates that everything is rolling ok. Yet no, something went wrong on the way and you have to perform some sort of additional manipulations.<\/p>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/workflow-software\/\">Comindware Tracker<\/a> you can, at each stage of your real-life process, create multiple sub-tasks which is not the same as creating tasks via email. Emails tend to get lost, un-answered and you need to remember that you\u2019re awaiting a ping back from a certain email. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/workflow-software\/\">Comindware Tracker<\/a> you always have transparency because it\u2019s not like the process has detoured from its route on its own: you have 5 more sub-tasks in the system here and you know who\u2019s responsible for what because each task has its assignee.<\/p>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<p>And, finally, it works quick because the person who\u2019ll be responsible for the sub-tasks which emerged in the existing situation, will receive an email alert about a new task for them, open it and see all the attachments and task detail in it.<\/p>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<p>And for sure, ad hoc, you didn\u2019t have any kind of automation for this force majeure part of the process. Comindware allows processes to be \u2018as ad hoc as is needed\u2019 compared to the existing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/workflow-software\/\">BPM solutions<\/a> which have no ad hoc with their hard-coded automated processes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<section class=\"text-center post__button\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/workflow-software\/try\/\" class=\"btn btn-green btn-lg\">\n\n            Get a 30-day trial!\n\n    <\/a>\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<section class=\"author bg-light border\">\n\t<section class=\"row p-3 p-sm-5 align-items-center\">\n        <aside class=\"col-sm-3 col-4\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"author__img img-fluid rounded-circle\" title=\"Anastasia Chumakova\" alt=\"Anastasia Chumakova\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/anastasiya-chumakova.jpg\" alt=\"Anastasia Chumakova\">\n        <\/aside>\n        <article class=\"col-sm-9 col\">\n            <p class=\"author__text\">Anastasia Chumakova is <em>Product Marketing Analyst<\/em> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/workflow-automation\/\">Workflow Automation<\/a> Expert at Comindware.<br\/>She currently explores online process management product development trends, contributes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmwlab.com\/\">www.cmwlab.com<\/a> and provides tips for better use of Comindware Tracker and online work management solutions.<\/p>\n        <\/article>\n    <\/section>\n<\/section>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s take any BPM tool on the market: once you set up a process in it and you start using the solution, and the process, any changes brought to the process will turn out to be costly due to programming issues and system requirements.
