Increasing Efficiency and Governance of Business Critical processes with End-to-End Process Management
​
A Utility company faced challenges in automating and managing its order and delivery processes for a new intelligent thermostat to more than 2 million customers, due to the integration of Dynamics 365/CE. Once an order was placed, several processes kicked in, starting from tracking customer data for each new order, to directing external supply chain partners for the delivery of the thermostat.
The solution was to include AgileXRM as its BPM engine and set up a fusion team consisting of developers, process experts, testers, and business experts. The team leveraged AgileXRM’s visual process modeling tool to quickly configure the new app’s integration with Dynamics 365/CE and automate the entire process.
AgileXRM simplified work processes while allowing non-Dynamics users to gain insight into the processes. This increased process automation and application development velocity while maintaining enterprise-level governance through fine-grained permission control and security controls.
The collaboration between business and IT allowed for easy error detection and improvement, which was not hidden in the code, providing a significant benefit.
