BIC Platform

Avantages

It streamlines workflow by automating repetitive processes. Its comprehensive management has built a solid foundation for improved progress. It has been a very modern platform to use, where each tool is useful for each process, improving constantly.

Inconvénients

There are certain integrations that are not as easy to integrate as others; they require more waiting time.

Avantages

Its User Interface is great, user friendly, but mostly intuitive. After a very short time, you get use to BIC as a standard laptop application.

Inconvénients

That it is still not completed. The missing features seem to be still in the roadmap and, well... we are waiting for them.

Avantages

Beck is very easy to use, and particularly if you have a process centric view of the world. It allows you to develop and describe your business processes across the enterprise and simplify what can sometimes be very complex, and I like the ability for being able to do impact analysis on other aspects of the business.It does not have all the bells and whistles and functionality of other tools in the same class, but what it does very well it's process management and execution for lightweight solutions. It's intuitive and simple to use and links very well to the enterprise architecture components of the business.

Inconvénients

For my use case in supporting the management of processes for our clients there is very little I don't like, but obviously there are some areas of functionality that could be presented in dashboards for ease of management. This is not a major thing, but everything should be looking to excel, even when they are good.

The overall experience is great. BIC has given us speed at our work. It's very helpful for business workflow and very user-friendly .

Overall UX-Design, Administration possibilities, most easy to use process modeller on the market ...

Maybe some information about how the software is used within your own company, but they already announced that feature on the last user conference.

Avantages

Simple to deploy and use, the range of canvasses have provided for all business needs to date. Combined with Process Mining will become a key capability within our continuous improvement arsenal

Inconvénients

Couple of usability idiosyncrasies but not prohibitive. Not compatible will file formats from some legacy systems

Avantages

Intuitive handling, cloud solution means little effort for us in terms of setup, good role concept incl. approval workflow, simple & effective administration, fast results.

Inconvénients

Since we await more modules to be unlocked, the full picture is not yet available. In BIC Process Design it is sometimes confusing that comments are attached to the area (published, preview, ...) and thus sometimes remain unnoticed.

Avantages

Das Produkt BIC Process Design. Es ist eine sehr moderne und einfach zu erlernende Möglichkeit der Prozessabbildung nach BPMN 2.0. Es steckt voller nützlicher Features und ist ein mächtiges Instrument für Unternehmen, die ihre Prozesslandschaft geordnet visualisieren möchten. Zudem wird das Produkt ständig weiterentwickelt und an aktuelle technische Anforderungen angepasst. Bei der Entwicklung fließen auch Kundenwünsche mit ein.

Inconvénients

BIC Process Controls ist ein problematisches Produkt in der gegenwärtigen Form. Aber auch hier wird bereits an Alternativen gearbeitet

Avantages

Intuitive Bedienbarkeit, Vergleich Versionen, Simulationen

Inconvénients

verzögerter Wechsel auf neue Benutzereoberfläche ohne Info zu neuen Termin

Avantages

Die einfache Benutzeroberfläche und der Funktionsumfang sind einfach klasse. Das Modellieren von Prozessen fällt auch Anfängern leicht und die Governance Funktionalitäten entsprechen den grundsätzlichen Anforderungen. Es passt zu meinem / unseren Ansatz, wie wir BPM im Unternehmen leben möchten.

Inconvénients

Bislang ist die Integration externer Softwareprodukte nur teils oder über Umwege möglich. Eine etwas offenere Architektur würde den Anforderungen eines agiles, zukunftsorientierten Prozessmanagementansatzes Rechnung tragen.

Avantages

BIC Process Design + Process Control ist im täglichen Umgang von Prozessen, Risiken + Kontrollen eine enorme Unterstützung.

Inconvénients

Ui Design kann verbessert werden. IKS Tool verbesserungswürdig.

Avantages

Ser totalmente na Núvem, vários recursos úteis de modelagem, possuir o catálogo de serviços (conceito de ocorrência), interface intuitiva e um bom mecanismo de busca.

Inconvénients

Ausência da possibilidade de modelar com linhas de grade, falta uma forma simples de encontrar modelos que estão sendo editados e precisam ter o checkout realizado

Avantages

GBTEC has taken the fuss out of process modelling and execution. This product is very well designed and performs beautifully. Process templates are also of great help and prevent us from having to re-invent the wheel.

Inconvénients

Difficult to say, but maybe more focus on onboarding and customer success process would help to involve reluctant users.

Avantages

This tool is visually very strong. It complies with both EPC and BPMN notation. The collaborative nature allows teams to contribute without having to combine separate models. The 360 degree perspective on roles, systems, etc is a powerful outcome or feature

Inconvénients

Remembering that without saving work is only in the browser cache. Models can be lost without routine saving. An autosave feature would be beneficial. Ocassionally messages are also in German, which will not suit a lot of markets

Avantages

In BIC Platform sind die meisten Elemente intuitiv zu erreichen. Vieles weitere kann durch einfaches Ausprobieren herausgefunden werden. Außerdem wird kontinuierlich am System gearbeitet und es wird ständig erweitert, was immer mehr Möglichkeiten der Nutzung eröffnet.

Inconvénients

Ab der Erweiterung BIC Execution (also dem Workflowmodul) kommt man als Nicht-ITler ab einem gewissen Punkt nur schwer weiter ohne weitere Coachings zu absolvieren. Für den Fachmann sollte es wesentlich einfacher sein.

Avantages

Once you get used to the interface, it is easy to create diagrams.
When naming an object (e.g. pool, activity, event, etc.) a list of approved objects are quickly displayed and can be selected. The list changes as you type the name; the type ahead is really fast. I really love this feature in controlling the objects created.

Inconvénients

Rightnow, the application have limited BPMN 2.0 symbols but I believe what is available is enough to do most complex BPMN diagrams.
It seems that the local copy is saved on the browser cache? It may take time for approvers to accept object changes and until then, the diagrams are saved in the local copy. I am not sure if I clear my cache if my diagram will be lost -- i dare not try.

Avantages

Die BIC Cloud punktet vor allem mit ihrer hohen Nutzerfreundlichkeit durch die sehr übersichtliche und intuitive Bedienung. Auch der gestalterische Freiraum sowie die Möglichkeit, neben dem Prozessmanagement auch alle zugehörigen Informationen optimal vernetzen zu können, erweisen sich als große Vorteile. Zudem ist es eines der wenigen Tools in diesem Bereich, was durch das GRC-Modul ein perfekt anknüpfendes Risikomanagement ermöglicht.

Inconvénients

Die Prozessberichte, welche automatisch generiert werden können, sind verbesserungsbedürftig. Oft sind die Prozessgrafiken nicht lesbar und auch die verschiedenen Prozesspfade werden im Worddokument nicht ersichtlich voneinander abgetrennt.
Wünschenswert wäre eine automatische Übersetzungsfunktion - eine manuelle Pflege verschiedener Sprachvarianten ist grade für kleinere Unternehmen kaum zu leisten.

Avantages

The software offers many different notations that make it much easier to describe one's own processes. You are well supported programmatically during the creation, but not overloaded with too many extras and options. The software offers a good knowledge database with a catalogue that is composed of the activities, roles, etc. from the diagrams and also offers consistent versioning. The diagrams can be viewed in different view types as a flowchart or as a matrix, etc. and thus offers employees a high recognition potential. The software is optimally usable for us as an SME, as no whole department has to be set up for the maintenance of the diagrams. In addition, the licence model is fair and the after-sales support is at a high level.

Inconvénients

As with any new software, familiarisation with the operation is necessary. Also the functionalities in the diagram design are not always as free as with the other providers. However, thanks to the good support, these are not major obstacles.
