SmartDraw Software Announces Revolutionary Visual Process Management (VPM) Solution



Breakthrough Visual Solution for documenting and managing business processes significantly shortens implementation time and increases usability to create impressive ROI

SAN DIEGO, -- Today, SmartDraw Software announced a revolutionary new solution for businesses that want to capture their most valuable asset: the knowledge of employees and the processes they perform.

Visual Process Management, or VPM, leverages SmartDraw VP, the world's first visual processor(TM), to quickly, systematically and collaboratively create a VPM Collection, which is stored on a network server. The VPM Collection is a complete electronic model of an organization, linking every process with the position that is responsible for executing it and managing it.

Paul Stannard, CEO of SmartDraw Software, said, "We have created a completely new, visual way to document and manage your business processes that uses the innovative visual processor technology provided only by SmartDraw VP. I believe that Visual Process Management (VPM), because it is so easy to implement and is used by employees every day, is a revolution in process description that will lower costs and improve the efficiency of virtually every person in every business worldwide."

Visual Process Management (VPM) completely changes the way processes are documented and managed.

Companies that implement VPM see real and measurable ROI:

-- 25% increase in companywide productivity

-- Up to 80% reduction in training time

-- Consistent and predictable quality

-- Visibility into exactly how things are done, critical for effective management

Bob Dixon, President, Digital Division of L + L Printers, a full service commercial printing company in Southern California, said, "VPM has benefited L+L through helping us to better understand roadblocks and inefficiencies in our processes. As a result, we've been able to improve throughput by 25%."

VPM is different than traditional process documentation in that, instead of binders of documents on a shelf, it creates a collection of hyperlinked visuals that anyone in the organization can easily navigate, like a web site. As a result, knowledge is shared seamlessly, is universally accessible and easily updateable. Learn more about VPM.
