Process Management

proDacapo Process Management shows your business graphically, using process maps to illustrate activity workflow across organisational boundaries. Users can navigate, from the strategic level of core processes, down to the operational level of departmental activity.

This makes it easy for people to visualize how they contribute to overall outputs and outcomes. It enables them to see beyond departmental or sectional boundaries and build a more process oriented and customer-focused organisation.

Process Management can be used to support all types of improvement initiatives; from Business Processes Re-engineering (BPR) projects, to Continuous Improvement programs, or to manage your quality accreditation (ISO9000). Drill-down into the detail with the click of a mouse, and follow hot-links to process documentation, other systems and the web, for an easy workflow solution.

The system highlights improvement opportunities, illustrating non-value adding activities and problems. Drill down on problems, to understand their cause and effects, including financial impacts. This allows managers to show how upstream departments can affect the performance of downstream departments. Typically, users identify improvement potential of 15 to 30% of total time and cost expended by their organisations. With this solution at your fingertips, you can prioritise initiatives to target the most promising improvement areas. This is why the payback time on your investment in proDacapo can be extremely short.

Features and benefits:

All information is stored in a single database, which allows a number of users to model processes simultaneously in a networked environment.

User-friendly and attractive graphical maps - Intuitive and attractive graphical process maps make it easy to analyse workflows, and communicate important process information.

Easy access by Intranet or Internet – With the optional add-in Web Server solution you can give users of your choice access to process charts, documentation, reports and analyses via their standard web browsers.

Continuously measure and improve processes – You can set targets and continuously measure, manage and improve processes.

Unique functionality for improving operational performance – Easily identify, visualize and quantify problems and improvement potentials in your processes. Swiftly determine what these problems and unrealized improvements cost the organization in terms of money or wasted time. With cost or time-savings set out  in black and white, it’s easy to make decisions and set priorities that deliver real improvements.

Analyse and manage process and activity costs - Having insight into and being able to manage actual costs is vital for every organization. The solution allows you to easily and rapidly translate the costs and resources per department from your existing financial systems into costs and resources per process and activity. You can also easily identify the factors driving these costs.

This means that you can manage resources and the work they perform, instead of just monitoring account expenditure. The system also allows you to analyse how personnel are utilized and to benchmark the cost and productivity of different units. This information is vital if you are to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and manage the organization effectively.

Easy to integrate with existing IT-systems - Our Extract Transform and Load (ETL) tool makes it easy to integrate with other systems and automatically update the resource, time and cost information in proDacapo Process Management at regular intervals. It is also very easy to send data to and from MS Excel.

User-friendly analysis and reporting – The solution provides an extensive suite of user-friendly analyses and reporting options. It also includes flexible functionality for creating user-defined reports and for publishing reports to groups of users.

Gather all documents in one place - All types of documents and links can be attached to the processes to ensure that all relevant information is found in one place, including job descriptions, policies and procedures.

From local to global installation - proDacapo Process Management is based on modern technology, market-leading databases and is scalable. This means that you can start with a small one-off project and later expand to an enterprise-wide installation.
