Before any objective will be set into place, businesses take time in interpreting exactly what their company is proceeding towards, what it does, who are the responsible people and to what level the goals can be achieved and how successes are established. By making use of business illustrations, the teams responsible in generating business systems and methods can easily put together all ideas using business process mapping methods. This implies a process approach to carry out and test whether these processes will be useful or not and if it’s likely to be efficient in the end. Therefore, organizations become more efficient as they can already see clearly what to consider and whether or not developments can be done in their recent processes.



Business process mapping produce workflows where depending on a software that’s been employed by the company, makes automated workflows quickly. This lessens the time of utilizing pen and paper and rewriting from the start specifically during brainstorming. With the use of automated processes like graphical representations on a computer, it makes generating, editing and publishing a lot quicker. In particular, among the utilized workflows nowadays that’s also integrated with SharePoint 2010 is the e5 Workflow Designer within the e5 Studio. This makes use of graphical designer along with the drag and drop solution to utilize the different elements included.



Company objective representations appear in graphical dashboards that offer real-time visibility of workload, compliance with SLAs and productivity. This permits organizations to exactly specify a process and who takes responsibility on numerous departments like what steps to perform and what standards of completion are required. This makes success defined in a seamless setting.



Having a workflow illustration like process mapping, this visually symbolizes all activities like handling of conditions in the company. The e5 Studio for instance involves no up-front process analysis anymore but rather create “as is” process maps for every classification of work. This implies tasks and fields that are modified through simple drag and drop. Now based on the intricacy of the processes being created, the activity takes from hours to days to finish. However, this is still a positive change when compared with weeks to months of processes from traditional strategies. The “as is” process is then going to build baseline of metrics in the business workflow during the entire production. During production, process analysis is performed on an ongoing basis based on the metrics the software has offered.



Lastly, the business analysts can re-engineer the process by making modifications to the workflow in the cloud while still able to measure the results producing an iterative process by eventually distinguishing, supplying and carrying out business processes.
