Citeck Case Management EcoSystem
« BackDynamic Case Management (DCM) is a newish conception for the market of enterprise IT-solutions. The term itself was proposed by Workflow Management Coalition in 2010, however the conception had been used considerably earlier.
The interest in Case Management has significantly grown in recent years. Renowned IT-editions strive to give full coverage of this issue, more and more often this new term appears in various researches. This denotes that the companies using volatile business processes are increasingly interested in this technology. The ‘Gartner’refers to this concept in its research with increasing frequency.
DCM – is a way to dynamically managed company’s business processes that allows the company to organize an effective cooperation among employees to achieve the goal (i.e. the case), to control and to act on the environment in time and to build up the special library of “best practices” after its completion. These results can be used for the further functionality growth purpose, the behavior and the reaction of the system research.
As the name implies the essential element of the conception is a case to be solved. It may include the large quantity of the elements – persons, events, documents, processes, discussions, etc. The adaptivity means that every case is unique and can keep up with the current situation. To a large extent the interest to the case management is due to the active development of the flexible management approaches. It is not always possible to implement standard unbudging processes in the company and, therefore, the usage of BPM-systems can be limited. In such cases the conception of case management comes to help and it well completes the classic ECM and BPM metho dologies.
It seems to be clear choice, however you need to make an effort to find the working conception of the case management. The Case Management EcoS solution from Citeck is one of a few comprehensive systems that uses the metho dology mentioned above.
Citeck EcoSystem represents a platform for the company’s business processes management. This system is based on the abovementioned adaptive case management approach. It allows to automatize even those processes which are difficult to be formalized in the classic models of business process description. Widely known Open-Sourse Alfresco platform forms the basis for Citeck Case Management EcoS. Citeck Company has been developing this solution for more than 7 years. Major customers are the companies that require the advanced solution. The EcoS platform is implemented in various spheres – logistics, insurance, finance, production, power industry, etc.
System functionality
Case and its data
As mentioned above, the main element in the system is the case. In Citeck EcoSystem all case data are summarized in one configured dashboard. This approach allows the user to obtain maximum information for minimum time. As an example of case dashboard one may take insurance client’s profile, card of procurement, package of financial documents to be considered and approved.
In such case all data from other systems integrated with EcoS are also displayed on the same dashboard. It significantly saves time for data analysis and decision making. The possibility to integrate with other systems is worth mentioning as a separate point. Data export and import are carried out by structured XML-files. It allows Ecos to integrate with other systems within a short time.
The emphasis is on the result
Unlike BPM-systems, where the process has top priority , the case management (in general) and Citeck EcoS (in particular) look up to the final result. When you need to solve the case, it is not always clear from the very beginning what you should do. Sometimes the process and the elements can be changed during the case solution, and Citeck EcoS maintains the convenient tools for case setting and changing.
Starting the tasks by events
One of the key advantages of Citeck EcoSystem is the possibility to start the tasks, the stages or the whole cases by events. For example, the task can be started by user’s action or by reaction on some internal or external action.
Company’s business processes editor
The convenient process editor allows to configure the specific process from scratch or to change the existing one in a short period of time. The users can create tasks, stages and system activities themselves. The system contains the number of pre-configured processes in BPMN notation, which can be used for case creation as well.
Business Requirements
This is a special set of conditions for task, stage or case starting or ending. System administrator has a possibility to set the business requirements for case attributes excluding programming. For example, it is possible to set the control of file attachment before the start of the task.
Focus on Adaptivity
The word “Dynamic” is presented in the conception name for a good reason. One of the most interesting benefits of Citeck EcoSystem is to change the case for a specified task in process. Herewith you can always save the case as a template and use it later.
Another important advantage of the adaptivity is to fill the cases as the cases move forward. It will help to avoid expensive analysis of processes before their adaptation. As you pass the case, you will be able to add new elements to the case in real time and save it as the template. This template can be easily changed later.
This approach is perfect for companies that need flexibility in process management and know the value of time.
