The Fastest Path to Enterprise Process Applications

Ultimus is the developer of a low-code platform called the Ultimus Digital Process Automation Suite. The Ultimus DPA Suite is used to create enterprise applications, reports, and dashboards; orchestrate workflows; and accelerate digital transformation. The Ultimus platform automates, orchestrates, and governs end-to-end enterprise business processes, especially complex, mission-critical, and high-volume business processes.

Ultimus also offers expert implementation and implementation support services for organizations looking to augment their internal resources. Ultimus offers these services, as well as best in class platform and solution support, through its worldwide locations and through partners.

Enterprises around the world use Ultimus to automate key processes such as account opening, credit approval, purchase-to-pay and order-to-cash, vendor and employee onboarding and offboarding, case management and customer support, benefits provisioning, and quote configuration - or any request and approval use case.

Although business users (aka "citizen developers") can readily utilize Ultimus to automate departmental workflows, the true value of the platform is especially apparent in use cases where there are high volume, mission-critical, often complex enterprise processes (e.g., processes with dynamic, context dependent task assignments, integrations, AI agents, and sophisticated form logic) and their associated, reports, dashboards, and management applications.

An ideal Ultimus customer is a larger, multi-site organization that operates in several geographies and employs both distributed and centralized approvals, policies, rules, and languages.

Unlike many low-code platforms that focus on simple, departmental workflows, Ultimus is designed to automate sophisticated enterprise-scale business processes. Its composable architecture, reusable components, and rule-based process engine help organizations deliver scalable solutions faster.  

Ultimus has been developed using the principles of generative programming (also known as application generators or domain engineering) as explained in Generative Programming: Methods, Tools, and Applications by Krzysztof Czarnecki and Ulrich W. Eisenecker.  In this approach, Ultimus has used its experience to pre-develop a "domain model" containing commonly needed solution capabilities and requirements, so you never start from a blank sheet of paper. Specific solution, solution family, and global requirements are defined in a compact, intuitive text-based specification language.  Less experienced users can also create solutions with a user-friendly "drag-and-drop" paradigm, as well as a spoken or typed natural language approach (i.e., "vibe coding").  

Regardless of the approach used, solution definitions are saved in a common, text-based format that promotes reuse, speeds solution implementations and changes, and reduces complexity.  And, as all solution definitions are commonly defined in text, Ultimus is ideally positioned to leverage generative AI. 

Of course, it's not enough to just develop a solution, you have to take into account scalability, performance, and usability once the solutions are in production. Our platform includes a unique technology that ensures fast user response times, even with tens of thousands of users, as well as an intuitive, high productivity Portal that puts all your tools, tasks, and processes in one place according to your defined role.

Ultimus recommends that prospective customers being their buying journey with a real-life scenario, such as a proof-of-concept (POC).

These scenarios could be a new use case, such as replacing a manual or partially automated process; modernizing an existing process by leveraging complementary automation technologies like AI; replacing expensive, underutilized, or hard to customize dedicated SaaS software; as well as in situations where a vendor has been unable to implement a solution in an acceptable timeframe or cost.

In many cases, Ultimus can produce a fully functional, near production ready solution without charge in a matter of days - and provide prospective customers with solution access during their evaluation.
