The Radical Power to Get it Done Right, Done Fast, and Done Even Better Tomorrow!
Find out why TOTAL and TransCanada use HighGear, the Lean BPM pioneer delivering core process management for around 20% of the cost and freedom from your IT department.
Business Process Management (BPM) delivers considerable benefits for energy companies: enhanced performance and control, reduced cost, reduced risk to revenues, agility and scalability, automatic enforcement of business rules and procedures with a complete audit trail and unimpeachable evidence of compliance with regulations and legislation.
HighGear is the Lean BPM pioneer, delivering core business process management functionality for around 20% of the cost of traditional solutions such as IBM BPM, Oracle or Pegasystems.
HighGear deploys fast – typically in 10% of the time required to deploy a traditional BPMS.
Cost and functionality are not the major differentiator for HighGear: what makes us unique is our philosophy of zero reliance on specialist coders and developers, and total freedom from your IT department.
HighGear puts the power of BPM into the hands of those who know your business processes inside out: the process owners and those who work with it. Not only can they see how the process works, work out how to improve existing workflows or create brand new ones, they are now able to push their designs into the live operational environment without any specialist knowledge.
HighGear provides a visual workflow interface which is simple and easy to use. Once a new process is designed or an existing one modified, using the drag-and-drop GUI, HighGear will automatically take the design and create all of the associated tasks and workflows required to make the process operational. More than this, the workflow will also operate in full compliance with your preset business rules and compliance procedures, including the creation of automated notifications, alerts and business reporting.
There is zero need for any specialist coding or developer skills, and operations staff have total freedom to design and change business processes at will, leading to process optimization and continuous improvement.
