It was great to see our software partner BusinessOptix recognised as a 2015 ‘Cool Vendor’ in Business Process Management, by Gartner.

The accolade, as far as we’re concerned at Clarasys, is extremely well-deserved. The software may be in its infancy – having only been established in 2010 – but its reputation as a simple but powerful cloud-based platform is growing fast.

We’ve been won over by the ease and clarity with which the software allows processes and requirements to be mapped out, redesigned, and transformed – and here are some of the reasons why.

Collaborative business modelling

BusinessOptix makes it easy to capture information and knowledge, document processes, systems and methods, and store it all in a single online repository that can be shared throughout a company – and easily viewed, reviewed, and organised in just a few clicks.

As a collaborative business modelling platform, it allows users to pull out accurate reports, data, and knowledge with ease. Similarly, they can feed data in, helping with the creation and maintenance of an overall knowledge base, shared throughout the company. Files can also be imported and exported with minimal fuss and in a range of formats.

Drawing up your transformation road map

The platform does the job of several traditional office programmes, allowing you to dispense with the ones you no longer need and save money in the process. The software also supports the development of a transformation roadmap, via the creation of ‘as is’ and ‘to be’ business states, which can also be measured against financial models and other metrics.

A driver of change

The software is an effective driver of change, helping companies to build a fast and effective business case for transformation and easily demonstrate proposed changes, both on process flow diagrams and using metrics.

It allows you to create a framework for all your core business operations and helps to identify and eliminate wasteful practices and costs. It gives people the information they need to make decisions more quickly, smooths the day-to-day running of the business, improves the accuracy of reporting, and streamlines a host of other activities too.

The software that doesn’t lie

The software reveals what we business analysts consider to be ‘the truth’ of your business; uncluttered information delivered in a single source, as opposed to data from half a dozen different tools, all competing and feeding into the morass. This single view illuminates a pathway to change.
