Written by Paul Stone, Product Evangelist | 12/20/19 2:34 PM

I think we can all agree that everyone prefers to hear real life examples or read an in-depth review of a product before we buy it, whether it be a household item or a tool to assist us in our daily working lives.

We know from experience over the years, that our readers love reading customer stories and use cases of how our tool is empowering business users to digitize internal business processes. With that in mind, today I'm glad to share with you the story of the FlowForma Process Automation tool's recent product review undertaken by the process experts at BPM.com, in a First Impression report.

Editor-in-Chief at BPM.com, Nathaniel Palmer, delved under the hood of the FlowForma Process Automation tool to get a better understanding of the functionality and benefits available to users. In this report, Nathaniel also discussed topics such as the myths of low-code development platforms, and why process automation is now critical to how organizations manage content/information.

Keeping Costs Down

We still hear from prospects that they're concerned with the cost of implementing and maintaining a process automation solution. The fact is, by removing the necessity for IT developers to build and deploy processes, costs are significantly less. With the FlowForma Process Automation tool IT act as a safeguard, they're in the background if you need them, but business users are empowered to complete processes themselves due to its no-code capabilities and it's intuitive user interface.

Comply With Regulation

Meeting regulatory requirements is made much easier for organizations using the FlowForma Process Automation tool. The FlowForma Compliance add-on features capabilities such as eSignatures, Form Audit Record (linking a specific audit trail to the lifecycle of a form), and a Flow Snapshot (generated visualization of the process flow completed) which help ease painful tasks like providing audit histories.

External Users

Enabling external users such as suppliers/customers to input into processes can be challenging for businesses. The FlowForma Engage add-on however, offers an alternative to other traditional workflow tools that interacts directly with the external actor. Process owners can record data and upload files, which are then automatically included in the internal process

Managing Content

Using SharePoint as a secure data repository, FlowForma Process Automation provides a platform through which various information sources and repositories can be integrated. Connectors can be easily created to help integrate external data into processes and forms. This data can then be manipulated according to business rules.
