Main features

Business process modeling

A graphical model of a business process is a basic component of business process management. It demonstrates the interrelationship of all process elements within the enterprise. Such representation helps to focus on the target and significant information for solving tasks of optimizing business processes.

CMW Platform provides flexible and convenient tools for modeling business processes even for non-technical users. Moreover, forms development, interface adaptation, and basic integrations configuration can be also performed by citizen developers simply in a web browser. Create a process diagram, define participants, and describe their set and sequence of actions using BPMN 2.0 as a global standard for BPM.

Process Architecture Modeling

The success of process management in a company largely depends on the organization's ability to prioritize process optimization, focusing primarily on key business capabilities. A business capability is the combination of processes, people, and technologies that create value and align with the company's strategic goals. In other words, a business capability describes "what" a company is capable of doing, while business processes describe "how" the company implements its capabilities. A business capability model visualizes the entire range of specific business capabilities, and process architecture helps visualize the relationships between processes.

CMW Platform provides the ability to quickly build business capability and process architecture models, visualize the connections between processes, and link them to specific goals. Process Architecture Modeling is updated during optimization, which helps analyze the situation from a "top-down" perspective and effectively plan upcoming changes.

Integration with third-party systems

Switching between multiple systems significantly slows down the work process. The task of a usiness process management software is to create a dedicated digital environment uniting other technologies (RPA, AI), internal information systems (ERP, CRM, etc.), and end-to-end business processes, eliminating the need to switch between different applications.

Overall, there are several types of business process management:

  • Traditional BPM. It focuses on modeling and optimizing static processes.
  • iBPMS (Intelligent Business Process Management Software). It entails using advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) and robotic process automation (RPA). The purpose of using such a system is process enhancement.
  • Case management. It involves managing unique, unstructured processes that require higher levels of flexibility and adaptability.

In essence, BPMS focuses on modeling, automation, and optimization of business processes while iBPMS incorporates additional functions fueled by AI/ML and RPA. iBPMS enables a deeper analysis and a more comprehensive process improvement.
