Business process management software

Business process management (BPM) software moves approvals and cross-department work out of inboxes and into managed processes. Every task arrives with the documents it needs, and you always know who holds it.

  • Keep approvals moving with deadlines and forwarding rules that pass work on when someone is out
  • Give every task its documents, so case handlers stop searching other systems for them
  • Change a business rule once in a decision table, and every process that uses it follows

From manual bottlenecks to managed business processes

Most process delays come from waiting: an approval sits in an absent manager's inbox, or a case stalls while someone looks for a document.
With Doxis, your business processes run on the same platform as the documents they depend on.

Without business process management

×
Approvals sit unnoticed until a deadline has passed
×Work that crosses departments stalls at every handover
×Case handlers search other systems for documents
×Exceptions go to email, with no record of who decided
×Process logic sits in legacy systems few can change
×Audits mean digging through mailboxes for approvals

The 4 dimensions of business process management

Doxis covers business process management in four parts: workflow management, process automation and AI, hybrid processes, and case management. All four run on the same platform as your documents, where process owners run the daily work and IT sets the rules that work follows.

Workflow management

Doxis workflow management gives every step in a process an owner and a deadline. When a manager goes on holiday, forwarding rules pass their open approvals to a substitute, and the workbasket shows who holds each task and who held it before.

  • Deadlines and timers on every step
  • Automatic forwarding to a substitute when the owner is out
  • Steps such as a supervisor approval, modeled once and reused across departments

Process automation & AI

Business process automation in Doxis starts with decision tables. You write a rule once, for example who approves a purchase above a set amount, and every process that needs it calls the same table. Chained tables handle the more complex decisions.

  • One rule, applied the same way in every process
  • Related documents linked to the process while it runs
  • AI-based classification that sorts incoming documents on the same platform

Hybrid processes

Some steps are the same every time, and some depend on the case. Doxis runs both in one hybrid process: normative BPM fixes the routine steps at design time, and adaptive BPM lets people add ad hoc tasks as the process runs. When a claim needs a check from legal, the handler adds that task and it stays on the record.

  • Routine steps defined once at design time
  • Ad hoc tasks added at runtime, inside the same process
  • A configurable audit trail across both

Case management

Case management is BPM applied to a single client or claim. In Doxis, each case holds its documents, notes and tasks in one place, so a claims handler who opens the file sees what colleagues have already done.

  • Several people working on different parts of a case at the same time
  • Access rights set per process and task
  • Other systems can open a case or complete a task in Doxis automatically

FAQs about business process management

What does business process management mean?

Business process management (BPM) is how an organization designs and improves the way work and documents move between people and systems. In Doxis, a process can follow a fixed path set at design time, adapt as people add tasks while it runs, or combine both.

What is business process management software?

Business process management software turns manual, email-driven workflows into automated, trackable processes across the applications your teams already use. Doxis combines this with enterprise content management (ECM), so each process and the documents that drive it live on the same platform.

What's the difference between BPM and business process automation?

Business process automation means automating individual tasks or steps. BPM is the broader discipline of designing and improving the whole process, including the people and decisions in it, with automation as one part. In Doxis, automation sits alongside workflow management, hybrid processes, and case management as one of four BPM dimensions.

What's the difference between BPM, RPA, and case management?

Business process management (BPM) orchestrates whole processes from start to finish. Robotic process automation (RPA) automates individual repetitive tasks by mimicking user actions, and can run alongside a BPM layer. Case management applies adaptive BPM to a client or claim, so each case follows its own path with its documents kept together. Doxis provides classic, adaptive and hybrid BPM on one platform.

What role does ECM play in business process management?

Enterprise content management (ECM) manages the documents and data a business process runs on. Combining ECM with BPM means one platform manages both your content and the processes that use it, so the people working a task have the related documents to hand.

How do you measure the success of a business process management initiative?

Common measures are cycle time and the manual effort left after automation. In the Forrester Total Economic Impact™ study of Doxis, SEW-EURODRIVE reduced manual effort by up to 90% by year three, with a 336% return on investment (ROI) over three years. For case management, a CXP Group and Doxis study of 157 companies found that ROI typically arrives within the first year.

Can I connect Doxis BPM to other systems?

Yes. External systems can start processes and complete tasks through a REST API, and Doxis connects to SAP through its SAP apps. This lets a process begin in the system where the work starts and finish with the documents already attached.

Is Doxis business process management AI-powered?

Doxis applies AI-based classification and data extraction to documents on the same platform that runs BPM, so processes work with documents that are already identified and sorted. Business rules themselves are defined in decision tables, which processes call as needed.

What support does Doxis offer for business process management?

Doxis supports business process management in every use case on this page, from purchase-to-pay to case management, each configured to your organization's standards. Implementation is backed by Doxis consulting, managed services and academy training. The platform deploys in the cloud, on-premises or as a hybrid setup.
