Process Director eForms Rule Process Management and Automation

Pros

  • Develop forms using Microsoft Word and Process Director plug-ins - start small then use predefined Custom Tasks, Knowledge Views, and samples to create extremely impressive results.
  • Integration with Microsoft Active Directory, SQL Server databases and tables, Excel, etc. - Incredibly powerful! We've taken eforms to a new level by integrating SQL queries into controls and custom tasks and embedding the results into developed forms.
  • Some of the forms can get pretty complicated with controls and custom tasks. If we can't find the answer to desired activities we'd like to incorporate, BP Logix support is just a phone call or email away. Their support is awesome and very responsive.

Cons

  • Sometimes the documentation is hard to follow to incorporate new features and functionality into workflows and forms. Some of these options can get very complex. As such, BP Logix support personnel in good to work with and helps you learn so you don't have to call again.

Return on Investment

  • Process Director has had such a positive impact on our entire organization. Nearly every division and department throughout the whole organization either has working forms and workflows or has requested to have forms and workflows developed.
  • The only negative or adverse condition is that we don't have enough development time for all the workflows requested to be developed.

Other Software Used

Process Director kudos

Pros

  • The drag and drop area of a workflow makes the product easy to use and makes the process easy to visualize.
  • The ability to save submitted forms as PDFs and attaching them to an internal system.
  • Allowing custom SQL commands allow interaction with internal systems.

Cons

  • Having a record of sent emails in a process would be helpful.
  • A "scrubber" for PDF names would be helpful. Acrobat does not like to open items with particular characters in a file name.

Return on Investment

  • I can only speak of the process I am responsible for, positive notes: the automated forms frees up our employees to do other work.
  • The return rate of our self certification form has increased since we've gone electronic.

Other Software Used
