Approvals and requests take many forms and range in importance, effort, frequency, and complexity. Whether simple and repetitive, like IT application access and password resets, or complex like loan approvals and capital expenditures, automating these processes promises improved customer and employee experience; reduced costs, turnaround times and effort; and compliance with policies and regulations.
READ MOREWhen you think about it, a great deal of what we do at work involves completing, processing, and tracking approvals and requests.
These requests range in importance, effort, frequency, and complexity. Some are simple, repetitive, and low risk like IT application access, password resets, and hardware purchases. Some - like loan approvals, major capital expenditures, and product engineering changes - are complex and come with significant financial or reputational risks.
READ MOREEnterprises across every geography and industry are accelerating their efforts to digitize every aspect of their business. But to realize strategic value from these initiatives – pervasive, flexible, and seamlessly connected end-to-end business processes – you need to think about more than just speeding up application delivery. You need to begin with the end in mind!
READ MOREInterest in workflow automation is at an all-time high. According to a recent survey, 80% of executives are planning to increase spending on automation initiates in 2022 and 72% are looking to shorten the timeline for automation initiatives.
Financial and accounting operations are an ideal candidate for workflow automation as accurate and timely reporting, spending approvals, financial control, and compliance requires the time consuming and error-prone coordination of people - across departments, legal entities, and time zones - and data - from spreadsheets, ERP, and other operational systems. With remote and hybrid workers, knowing where things stand and ensuring it all gets done now takes even more effort, causes more frustration, and further increases personal exposure.
READ MORELeading information and process management research and advisory firm Deep Analysis published a vendor profile calling Ultimus “one of the most comprehensive and well-thought-through digital process management systems on the market”.
Deep Analysis founder and analyst Alan Pelz-Sharpe stated that the Ultimus Digital Process Automation Suite “has developed into a deep system with an exceptionally broad range of functionality, frameworks, and features”.
READ MOREUltimus, the award-winning low-code BPM technology leader, demonstrates a 6-month payback on its machine learning-based invoice processing and approval workflow solution.
Using the Ultimus Digital Process Automation Suite and pre-integrated advanced machine learning data extraction capabilities, Ultimus customers have been able to lower the cost of invoice processing from about $10 per invoice to around $0.14 per invoice. Moderate volume organizations receiving around 100,000 invoices per year have been able to offset the total cost of solution acquisition and configuration in about 6 months.
READ MOREWhether you’re looking for a strategic business process automation platform or to solve a particular process problem, a Proof of Concept (POC) is the logical first step.
Getting a free Ultimus POC doesn’t have to take a lot of your time. You’ll need to invest as little as a few minutes to send us screenshots of an existing application or a workflow diagram, or you can develop and send us a full requirements document.
READ MOREThe month-end financial closing process is one of the most important business processes - and one of the most challenging.
Coordinating data, documents, tasks, and people across multiple facilities, departments, legal entities, systems, and time zones is time consuming and error prone. And with each passing day, it takes more effort, causes more frustration, and increases personal exposure.
Although an obvious opportunity for technology, numerous packaged month-end closing offerings have struggled to meet the need – forcing customers to choose between living with the application’s limitations or embarking on a course of expensive and hard to maintain customizations; in both cases, forcing customers to pay for irrelevant or unneeded functionality while adding yet another layer of technical debt.
READ MOREWhile low-code development platforms have struggled to break out of the realm of the department, the Ultimus Digital Process Automation has been proven, time and again, in core, mission critical, and customer-facing use cases.
Perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than in banking. To date, 14 Ultimus customers spanning 3 continents have used our DPA Suite to automate or modernize their retail, commercial, and corporate account opening processes.
Ultimus has demonstrated the ability to generate software applications from simple, plain English sentences using machine learning-based text generation algorithms.
Machine learning is well established in uses cases such as image and speech recognition, sentiment analysis, classification, intelligent document processing, and medical diagnosis.
By leveraging the massive open-source investment in machine learning-based text generation, Ultimus has demonstrated the ability to generate software “code” from simple, plain English prompts.
READ MOREThere’s a lot of excitement around low code development platforms. The promise of delivering internal and customer facing applications with exceptional speed and reaping huge gains in productivity and customer satisfaction is a powerful draw.
But along with excitement comes noise, hype, and grand claims. How can you know if a vendor’s claims are accurate and that their platform can solve your problems? How can you demonstrate the viability and business value of your automation project?
The best answer is a Proof of Concept.
READ MOREUltimus, the award winning low-code digital process automation technology and innovation leader, released a new case study describing how a nation’s central bank used application composition to realize the strategic benefits of enterprise-wide automation.

By composing and recomposing enterprise software applications from pre-built business objects and capabilities, organizations can realize the strategic goals of faster, better, and lower cost innovation.

Digital Transformation is today’s imperative and enterprises are accelerating efforts to digitize every aspect of their business to realize it. But ever-faster delivery of individual business software applications is not transformative. You need to begin with the end in mind!
In this webinar, Neil Ward-Dutton, co-founder and Research Director of MWD Advisors, will describe the challenges of Digital Transformation as well as the goals, thinking, and technologies that define, guide, and facilitate lasting strategic advantage in the digital age.
Carsten Neumann, Ultimus’ Senior Vice President – Enterprise Solutions, explains how Ultimus applied modern product line engineering and automated manufacturing principles to create Composed Process Solutions – a Digital Automation Platform designed specifically to meet the challenge of digital transformation: creating a seamless, flexible, end-to-end digital enterprise.
Eric Ritchie, a Partner and co-founder of PROceed BPM, demonstrates how this new paradigm for software development can be applied to deliver and deploy software with unmatched speed, quality, cost, and business value.

BPM is undergoing a profound change. Where cost savings were once the primary driver of BPM projects, the emphasis is changing to customer experience and, ultimately, to digital transformation.
In this webinar, guest presenter and Forrester Research Vice President and Principal Analyst Rob Koplowitz will explain Forrester’s rationale for replacing “Business Process Management” (BPM) with “Digital Process Automation” (DPA) and how the digitization of all business functions – and turning data into insights that provide a better customer experience - is an imperative that will become the strategic differentiator of the future.
Usama Mehmood will present the Ultimus Composed Process Solutions vision of Digital Process Automation: Replacing today’s notion of business process automation – doing what we do today in electronic form – with a new notion – turning business processes into digital assets that can be composed and recomposed on demand for ongoing business transformation.
Brian Patsy will provide specific, “real world” examples of the benefits and ROI of DPA, how new thinking and new tools can fulfill critical, unmet business needs faster and at a fraction of the cost of other approaches.

June 24, 2016 — Ultimus announces the successful deployment of three new Composed Process Solutions-based processes for Human Resources: New Employee Onboarding, Employee Separation/Termination, and Employee Salary Adjustment Approval.
Composed Process Solutions (CPS) employs the principles of product line engineering and automated manufacturing to create a software “application factory” for BPM-based workflow solutions. Instead of “handcrafting” one-off solutions using development tools like BPM Suites or Low Code development platforms, CPS allows implementers to simply describe solutions that are generated automatically in real-time from a standardized architecture and proven, optimized, and high-quality solution assets. The result: Order of magnitude improvements in solution delivery time, quality, and cost.
This trio of solutions showcases several key benefits of the Ultimus Composed Process Solution approach including:
Although CPS enjoys many fundamental advantages over other development approaches, the addition of each new CPS solution further increases the scope of reusable assets that are available to new CPS solutions - and reduces the effort manage and maintain them.
To see how these latest Composed Process Solutions could benefit your organization, or to see the power of CPS with your business solution, sign up here.
June 9, 2016 — Ultimus announces that it has successfully deployed a new Composed Process Solutions-based employee travel expense reporting and approval process.
Composed Process Solutions (CPS) employs the principles of product line engineering and automated manufacturing to create a software “application factory” for BPM-based workflow solutions. Instead of “handcrafting” one-off solutions using development tools like BPM Suites or Low Code development platforms, CPS allows implementers to simply describe solutions that are generated automatically in real-time from a standardized architecture and proven, optimized, and high-quality solution assets. The result: Order of magnitude improvements in solution delivery time, quality, and cost.
Our customer, a mid-sized multi-national software company, faced the challenge of managing numerous independent systems for internal and customer-billable travel as well as for various currencies and languages. They selected CPS as the best approach to quickly and cost effectively (1) implement a single solution that covers the full spectrum of their needs and (2) extend the process to mobile devices such as iPads and iPhones.
The new CPS travel solution allows employees to report expenses and upload receipts from any device; assign expenses to departments, regions, or customer projects; and report and be reimbursed in multiple currencies. As the request moves through the approval process, any participant can select the language localization they are most comfortable working with. Finally, the solution is integrated with SharePoint (for document retention) and Great Plains (for general ledger).
In less than one month, our customer was able to implement a solution that eliminated multiple redundant solutions, more accurately and quickly re-bills customer project expenses, and provides visibility into expense trends.
In addition, the standardized CPS approach will allow other processes, such as a planned travel pre-approval process, to work together seamlessly and be implemented with minimal additional end-user training.
Get started here to see the power of CPS with your business solution.
