How Human-Centric BPM ensures better UX and faster customer adoption

We have worked hard to create RapidValue BPM which ensures the best experience for everyone in the business.  Whether they are content creators, project managers, process owners, or other employees, now everyone can have easy access to their role(s), duties, department, business unit, tasks, test runs, trainings, defects, feedbacks – everything related to the processes and application, including detailed work procedures.   

By using the power of Microsoft Dynamics 365 and STAEDEAN  RapidValue BPM Suite, anyone in your business can see the value being delivered to the business. Using social feedback capabilities in our BPM Suite, business leaders get valuable insights, can decide where improvements need to be made, and that drives efficiency at every juncture of the process, empowering users.    

My process workspace provides the right guidance to direct the employee towards the daily tasks in a structured manner. In addition to this "My tasks", "My test runs", "My training, "My feedback", "My defects" features help employees reach out easily to their manage their daily tasks on the projects and keep an eye on their responsibilities in the testing phase. The RapidValue BPM suite form guide allows process guidance to be embedded in any D365 form without requiring specific form customization. The summary of the feature is given below. 

How BPM suite is digitally transforming the information for the employees 

STAEDEAN has significantly enhanced the user experience by bringing in the capability to display the form guidance ribbon in each D365 form, including the manual activities as well in the My Process guide workspace. In addition, employees can now also provide feedback to the process owners and track their status if the process owner has accepted and acted upon the suggestion. 

Here is the summary of the feature: My process guide workspace is very helpful for the users to reach out to just one place/section to access their daily tasks across the organization process model. This is critical to ensure that only the right information is available to the right person. He or she can access all his roles, activities, flows, feedbacks, and processes where he is the owner or a participant. 

The BPM Suite also takes the user guidance further to the next level. If you want to provide help from the D365FO forms, which have been linked to the activities on the flow diagrams in your solution, this will tell the user that he uses that form to carry out a particular process and give him guidance on how to carry out that process. This also involves displaying a where used form for the selected form.
