The article had a number of great points, including:

  • Without a strong process based program in IT,  it is very difficult to quantify how money is being spent.
  • Process improvement efforts often take a backseat when resources are scarce, sacrificing efficiency.
  • A top down push for blind adoption of any standard can lead to backlash.

Synthis Process Modeler?

All object relationships are automatically managed by the system and can be used to provide valuable insight beyond what is plainly visible in a two-dimensional process flow diagram.

Advanced Cross-Referencing Capabilities

In addition to understanding simple object relationships such as direct ownership assignments, Synthis Process Modeler? enables users to:
  • Identify activities and documents that are common to more than one process
  • Report on processes that span multiple departments and locations
  • Better understand inherited responsibilities and requirement dependencies
Prior to implementing a change, users can query the model to view the impact of the proposed change.  As changes are implemented, the system automatically makes all of the appropriate updates.
