BP Logix Process Director vs. Mitratech TAP Workflow Automation

It simply works great for our applications and requirements!

From my few months of using the tool, I believe the tool would be best suited for Legal Ops (Contracting) & Procurement. Maybe even in competitive bidding (strategic sourcing: eg RFP & RFX). The tool may be less appropriate for Payment Processing/Collecting.

• BP Logix Process Director has an extremely easy to use graphical workflow designer.
• Good support for electronic signatures and physical signatures using hardware signature pads.
• Knowledge views and dashboards for easy access to data.

Incentivized

• Creating a user community and sharing knowledge of automation best practices.
• Easy to use form and workflow builder.
• Responsive and knowledgeable technical team.

• Having a record of sent emails in a process would be helpful.
• A "scrubber" for PDF names would be helpful. Acrobat does not like to open items with particular characters in a file name.

Incentivized

• Adding form fields can be quite tedious as it has to be added to every stage/relationship.
• It's difficult to remember where a certain condition/formula sits.
• I wish the workflow itself can be exported for presentation/demo/documentation purposes.
• I wish there was a way for more than one admin to configure the tool at the same time.

We evaluated 13 vendors when looking for a solution for our finance department. We invited 4 vendors to demo and picked BP Logix in late 2011. Integration was very quick and since we went live January 2012 we deployed three additional processes incorporating our finance, facilities, legal, IT and our operations departments.

Autodesk selected TAP because of its ability to handle more complex workflows. We vetted a lot of "light" automation solutions but wanted a tool that was flexible enough to handle our more extensive use cases.

Incentivized

• Process Director has had such a positive impact on our entire organization. Nearly every division and department throughout the whole organization either has working forms and workflows or has requested to have forms and workflows developed.
• The only negative or adverse condition is that we don't have enough development time for all the workflows requested to be developed.

• Required fields force robust disclosure information up front.
• Workday integration enables pre-population of fields which reduces manual entry and saves compliance time.
• Emails, communications, and disclosure decision memos and stored in a centralized database which helps our team keep compliant records.
• Automated reminders have led to less ‘chasing’ by compliance.
• Improved UX has encouraged and increased disclosures, mitigating our company's risk.
