Visio® User Productivity
Overview
GEMWorX FlowModeler® and Visio® work hand-in-hand
Microsoft Visio is #1 for business process diagramming, but as process models become complex, Visio users are saddled with repetitive, time-consuming maintenance, updating, and analysis tasks. GEMWorX FlowModeler is a data-driven Visio 'supercharger' that adds a full range of Business Process Analysis functionality, including the ability to organize and manage Visio diagrams, utilize shareable objects, and generate reports. GEMWorX FlowModeler extensions to Visio simplify and accelerate process documentation, dramatically reducing the overall time and cost of business process modeling.
Few BPA or BPM tools are Visio–friendly, and proprietary translation utilities–where they exist at all–have relatively low recovery rates. In contrast, FlowModeler® can organize existing Visio® diagrams, allowing users to activate FlowModeler's BPA and integration functions over time, as processes change and new iterations of the diagrams are created.
GEMWorX FlowModeler was perhaps the first Business Process Analysis tool expressly designed to support Business Process Analysis that is focused on human activity (versus Information Technology). As a result, business users find FlowModeler easy to use, and FlowModeler solutions can be carried forward and deployed by business users, without ongoing technical support.
Business Benefits from GEMWorX FlowModeler®
GEMWorX FlowModeler leverages a large, pre–existing base of Visio® user expertise, in combination with rapid BPA analysis, development and deployment methodologies. This makes FlowModeler a strong candidate for general business process analysis projects, and an excellent toolset for Process Knowledge Management initiatives that seek to capture, preserve, and pass on the intellectual capital that resides in an aging–and soon to be retiring–workforce.
GEMWorX FlowModeler provides a pragmatic and effective solution for businesses seeking to:
- Capture and deploy workforce knowledge in support of new or reconfigured teams
- Reduce cycle time and improve operational efficiency
- Ensure that the most current versions of business procedures, documents and rules are available to desktop and mobile users

- Eliminate redundant process modeling initiatives through effective sharing of business process knowledge
- Achieve mandated cost reduction targets
