Aptify

For years, organizations have attempted to integrate disparate data sources. While challenging in nature, this is achievable and many success stories have been written about groups that have moved to a consolidated information architecture. Once your data is in the same place and effectively organized, what's next?

Many groups end up treating their information systems simply as an electronic filing cabinet - destined to be a modern cousin to the old fashioned version. People input all sorts of data and pull reports, but the "system" doesn't automate a great deal of the process. In our opinion, the missing link is having the ability for the system to easily adapt to changes in business processes over time. Just as critical is the ability to automate those steps of a process that call out for automation. Our approach to this at Aptify is to provide an intuitive, graphical and business-oriented workflow modeling tool within our platform. This technology allows a business user to visualize a process and to change it over time, in many cases with limited or no IT support due to the graphical nature of the tools.

While the tools exist in our platform to automate a wide array of processes, it is important that an organization stay focused on leveraging these capabilities to align systems with their overarching strategy. Doing this right will result in the system enabling efficiency and rapid change, not simply storing and reporting on data.
