AVEVA
Anything where form input is required, data presentation and custom interface screens, connected to a database or API backend. Also good at process orchestration, where tasks need to be allocated and completed as part of a workflow, it supports delegation and escalation. It does fit well tieing together other AVEVA products.

Usability
AVEVA
The features and capability is very good, but there is a learning curve to develop within it. It does take some effort to become proficient and build forms and workflows, however once deployed and running they are extremely reliable. The mobile application is quite good but best suited to be on an on-prem network rather than internet facing.

Alternatives Considered
AVEVA
Power Apps is good for microsoft, and basic forms, Work Tasks is more powerful. Other middleware is better for pure data integration but doesnt enable user interaction. There are some other options, Redhat has a similar product as well but it wasnt as mature when we were evaluating.

Blueworks Live was part of a project deal. We did not keep it after the project. We found there are many solutions offering similar or superior capabilities - the fact that Blueworks does not fully support the universal BPMN standard was a big letdown for us. The pricing also did not make sense as a standalone solution.

Return on Investment
AVEVA
  • We have built our entire EOM reconciliation process for production management, this is not possible without Work Tasks
  • We have complete standalone processes and applications built in Work Tasks, where complex steps and integrations are required. It is faster and cheaper than multiple bespoke products
  • The API integration has allowed us to tie applications together where user input is required and middleware doesnt quite work

  • It has helped us reduce miscommunication between our departments, such as production, inventory, and shipping, thus reducing delays.
  • Now, most things are automated; we can quickly know when a product will be in low stock.
  • With the help of custom charts, we are easily able to determine our best-selling product of the month and week, which helps us market according to stats.
