My CTO keeps telling me, "Less is more." It is something to consider, especially related to the topic of Green. At Ingenuus, we are embracing green, and actually have been long before the idea of using less resources was popular and in vogue. In fact, our first tag line was, “Simply. Ingenious.” Our stated goal was to make complex, robust software simple and easy to use and maintain.

I am proud to say that we continue striving for that goal developing software that not only helps companies be more efficient by automating their business processes, but by making sure that our software does not drain corporate IT and process owner resources. We focus on 3 major areas: Efficiency, Functionality and Affordability.

Efficiency – often when I am reviewing a demo or a consulting project I will discover that we have consolidated 3 or more processes into a single, efficient process. In addition to reducing the number of processes required, I find that we have significantly reduced the amount of work required by process participants. Process efficiency is what we do, and we do it well.
Our software is also more efficient. It combines all the required functionality into a single design tool so that a trained process owner can map a process, configure web pages, build business rules, test process logic, and release the final process into production. No IT guru has to be called, no business process analyst has to be consulted.

Functionality – we have combined all the required elements you will find in BPM suites into a single product platform. This reduces the complexity and the cost of the software. In addition, we have integrated obvious companion software like enterprise application integration and document management. We have taken the idea of managing a document to the next level with our Active Packet technology where everything related to a process, all the documents, emails, URLs, pictures, markups, etc. are all kept in one “logical” place – the process folder.
Since we combine so much technology into a single solution, we reduce the need to purchase complimentary software. With other BPM solutions you will have to purchase a document management system, a dashboard builder, a report generator, integration software, and web page development tools. Not with Ingenuus. It is all there in the Process Orchestrator.

Affordability – to purchase all of the functionality provided by the Process Orchestrator, you would have to spend hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. Ingenuus makes BPM affordable keeping most initial implementations under $100,000.

When you are looking for Green BPM, don’t simply look for a product that can make your processes more efficient. Look for a solution that will make your organization more efficient by not only automating your processes, but by also reducing the time and money required to purchase and support that solution.
