The business characteristics of company that could benefit from Snapwire’s BPM Solutions are:
1. Document Intensive
The process requires many documents or a large document with literally hundreds if not thousands of fields to be filled in to accomplish the task. This document can be somewhat “boilerplate”, but must be customized each time for each customer.
2. Compliance Regulated
Due to the nature of the business there are regulations and protocols the author must follow in order to stay in compliance with to insure the job is completed to the standards set forth by a governing body.
3. Work flow Intensive
Work flow intensive work is that work which multiple people need to review, modify approve and send on to others. In most cases time is of the essence and knowing who touched what document and what was done to it is of importance.
4. Transmission of Data
The data that is being compiled within the documents needs to be transmitted electronically to one or numerous individuals to be integrated into their own proprietary systems.
5. Change On Demand
This is not a Company characteristic more than a horizontal factor related to the general nature of business for Small Medium Business (SMB) and high/fast growth companies, the need to quickly change and grow with the market forces that shape their world. In order to be able to create, test, rollout, monitor and modify a business process a company has only two choices,
1) Use a semi-manual system (typically email and attachments) until the process is streamlined and custom fit for the company- this can take many extra man hours and potentially lost revenue in making sure all the check and balances are in place and that all the people in the process are doing their jobs.
2) Buy, Build or Rent an expensive software program which cannot be modified to handle the business needs of the client, or it is purchased with the caveat that in is 70-80% functional to meet customer need and that the remaining 20-30% is done by a software programming group. Upon completion of the programming any changes to be made to the program require more time and money to be spent by the company.
Even in the case of renting an application from the web there is always the issue of change on demand. Yes, it is true that the cost of implementation and infrastructure to support the application are less, but cost of change and customization will always be a factor unless the application is designed with the business-user in mind and not the software engineer.
