Our tool for business process management

CWA SmartProcess is our tool for knowledge management focussing on business processes. All our processes are mapped in this tool, it is a key part of our Quality management system and is esential for our ISO 9001 certification including the recent transition to the newest standard.

PROS

The tool is very flexible, easy to use and pretty straightforward. It can easily be customized and provides a very good overview about all our processes.

CONS

Some users were struggling a bit when using the process explorer to design processes, but this could be solved rather quick.

Smartprocess in small companies

System is good and easy to implement. So far we are very pleased to the system and we are looking forward to develop more functionalities by workflows.

PROS

The system is easy to use and very well supports process modeling with documentation control. The system also has workflows that make it easy to manage processes. One big advantage of the system is the local system administrator and the possibility to modify workflows, forms, etc. without having to contact the system supplier every time. A big success with CWA is their support function, which works really well and most of the times you get a response within a couple of hours.

CONS

There are some weaknesses in system to allow users filter their tasks in home page to show only the tasks where instant actions are required. Now Filtering can be done in cases, but filter doesn´t apply to home page. Other weakness what causes sometimes a lot of wasting time when creating new forms in workflows. When there is fields with same name it is really difficult to select correct one. This causes forms to not working at all or even crash the workflow totally This weakness could be fixed with visible field codes which are unique, then it is easy to use same source field in all places without temporary naming.

Reason for choosing SmartProcess

Smartprocess was able to meet most of our requirements and the system seemed easy to use. Smartprocess also had configurable workflows, which was a huge advantage for the future development of the system. The pricing was also at the right level that the company could afford, if the system had been more expensive, we would not have been able to invest in it.

Vendor Response

We would like to thank you very much for the positive feedback. Your commitment to the further development of our SmartProcess software is very important to us. Thank you for your feedback on the start page and workflow configuration. We are pleased that you are very satisfied with the system so far.

Easy to use, most features are self-explaining.

It helped us to totally improve our quality management system and process organization.

PROS

I like the new front-end that came along with the update in June 2018. Especially the document management system is very handy and simplifies my job in the quality department.

CONS

There are periods when the software is somewhat slowly. A few features are missing, like some field functions to readout ALL information you want into your documents.

Bewertung auf Konzernebene mit 14 Gesellschaften (Prozesslandkarten) & 12 Sprachen

Empfehle die Software jedem weiter - Top Produkt. Manche Sachen - insbesondere bei Konzernusern - könnten noch verbessert werden (z.B. RASCI Report, Sprachfelder).

PROS

Der Freigabeworkflow für Prozesse und Dokumente inkl. Mergefields und Information an die User. Die Maßnahmenverfolgung, das Audittool. Der Support ist Spitze und auch der feste Ansprechpartner, der Details des Unternehmens und der Einstellungen kennt, löst schnell Probleme. Support nimmt Verbesserungsvorschläge auf und setzt nach Möglichkeit im nächsten Update auch um.

CONS

Die Prozessdesigner müssen auf wenige Personen eingegrenzt sein, ansonsten werden die Swimlanes nicht richtig wiederverwendet und die User nicht sauber zugeordnet. In Konzernstrukturen sollte man die Sprachen bei der Implementierung festlegen, später wird es aufwendig. Bei manchen Softwareeinstellungen ist das Verständnis am Anfang wichtig, ansonsten richtet man Dinge falsch ein, die aufwendig korrigiert werden müssen.

Reason for choosing SmartProcess

Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis und die einfache Menüführung für die User, selbsterklärend für Viewer.

Reasons for switching to SmartProcess

Datenbankbasierte Lösung und Workflows waren wichtig.

Gute Software mit einigen Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten

Solide. Verbesserungsfähig. Aber marktfähig. Guter Kundensupport!

PROS

Design (klar, strukturiert, ansprechend, modern) Funktionsumfang in Standardvariante (ausreichend für "normales" QM) Pricing (v.a. Zusatzmodule zu attraktiven Preisen) Kundensupport bzw. Erstkontakt v.a. im Anschaffungsprozess war gut (nicht zu viel, nicht zu wenig; andere Firmen hatten zu starke Follow-ups mit mehreren E-Mails pro Monat, in denen nachgefragt wurde, ob man sich schon für die Software entschieden hat)

CONS

- Wenig technische Dokumentation (Einrichtung/Anbindung ActiveDirectory könnte ausführlicher beschrieben werden) - Teilweise fehlen in der Software an Stellen Funktionen, die wo anders enthalten sind (z.B. Texteditor wie bei Prozessmodellierung wäre auch bei Katalogen, v.a. Rollenkatalog, sehr sinnvoll) - genauere Beschreibung der Nutzerverwaltung/Rechtezuweisungen wäre wünschenswert. Das ist für Erstanwender bzw. -administratoren zu rudimentär - man könnte etwas weiter denken, z.B. bei der Benennung der AD-Berechtigungsprofile (in einem mittleren Unternehmen AD-Gruppen mit der einfachen Bezeichnung "Viewer" anzulegen, ist ungut, da diese AD-Gruppen-Bezeichnungen auch Nachwirkungen in anderen Systemen haben könnten. Besser wäre es, sie z.B. "CWA_Viewer" nennen zu können, um Überschneidungen zu vermeiden.

Reason for choosing SmartProcess

Preis. (roXtra war weit zu teuer) Funktionsumfang. (solide und Preis-Leistung stimmt!) Ansprechender Kundenkontakt.

Reasons for switching to SmartProcess

Keine Option der Mehrsprachigkeit. Diese bietet CWA und hier funktioniert sie einwandfrei und sehr einfach.
