When You Need to Stay Ahead
Business is increasingly complex. Customer
demands and competitive pressures have all
contributed to an increase in the adoption of
process improvement initiatives. Today it is
common for organizations to be involved in a
number of process-based initiatives such as
packaged software deployment, BPM projects,
Six Sigma, Lean, and regulatory compliance.
All process improvement efforts should
leverage best practices, tools and corporate
knowledge throughout the organization to avoid
departmental silos.
iGrafx FlowCharter is a powerful, easy-to-use
process mapping tool that provides a foundation
for organization-wide process excellence.
iGrafx FlowCharter reduces the time it takes to
document processes and business systems, and
helps you achieve a clear understanding of how
tasks, activities and processes must be carried
out to reduce waste and costs while increasing
customer satisfaction.
With a wide range of diagram templates, a
context-sensitive interface and numerous
output options, iGrafx FlowCharter is the most
productive process mapping and diagramming
tool available today. And unlike the process
maps created with general drawing tools,
iGrafx diagrams are information-rich and easily
updated.
A Pillar of Process Excellence
iGrafx FlowCharter serves as the foundation
for any organization’s process improvement
initiatives, but excels when used as an integral
component of the iGrafx platform for an
enterprise wide approach to process excellence.
When coupled with the iGrafx central repository
for collaborative modeling and communication,
iGrafx FlowCharter will help you bridge
the gap between the major organization
constituencies—IT, process practitioners and
business analysts—to ensure a level of process
consistency, management, history and control
across the enterprise.
