Run various business process management and analysis scenarios by capturing and communicating data influencing the alignment of strategy, people, processes and technology in a selected process. Real-time editing of the data in dedicated windows is possible.
iGrafx is a program that provides users the tools to capture and document process relationships. By doing this, users have a clear view of their business processes and how to approach future risks and opportunities.
The installation process lasts under 1 minute and can be completed by any type of users, regardless of their computer skills. As you start the application, you get in touch with its basic UI. For an application so pricey, its interface looks outmoded. It has a poorly designed menu and badly crafted icons. Not to mention its lack of skin themes or the sluggish menu navigation.
Once you start using its features, things start to change. The functionalities are well embedded and manage to suffice every user's needs. Individuals can view the progress of a business process in real time and so they can adjust the tasks within the process. Also, in order to make better evaluations, it can deliver data points such as time and cost of a process.
Despite its poor design, the menu comes equipped with drag-and-drop options that can easily be used by admins with no coding experience. This way, processes can be automated and workflow improved. Moreover, it includes a library where previously used workflows are saved to be used for upcoming customs projects.
To sum it up, iGrafx is comprehensive software that provides users the right tools to manage and transform their business processes into a portfolio of valuable assets.
