Choosing your Business Process Management (BPM) platform is a critical decision that can mean the difference between leading your industry and falling behind the competition. These are eight must-have features to look for in a system.
Drag-and-Drop Process Designer
Drag-and-drop process design offers a no-code experience:
- Business analysts and non-developers can design processes with ease.
- Thanks to the low learning curve, processes can be built and deployed quickly.
- When process changes are necessary, there is no need to redesign the entire process or edit code.
- BPMN 2.0 compliant process designers offer additional benefits by offering process design symbols that are recognizable by a majority of business analysts and process management experts. Designers that are BPMN 2.0 compliant are also less likely to rely on an older codebase.
- Most importantly, it is simple to customize and assign permissions, ensuring the right people have access to sensitive information.
BPMN 2.0 Compliance
BPMN 2.0 compliant process designers offer additional benefits. First, BPMN diagrams and symbols are recognizable by a majority of business analysts and process management experts. Second, a majority of process design platforms utilize it, making it easier to export processes between platforms. Finally, designers that are BPMN 2.0 compliant are also less likely to rely on an older codebase. This means that compliant designers have the most updated process design tools.
