Nintex Workflow’s usability has helped in focusing in implenting the business requirement rather than spending time in reinventing the wheel, such as implemeting core features of a workflow : notification, task creation, reminder and notification, logical frame and so on.
The capability of creating reusable workflow templates is a also a time-killer, in addition to snippets.

Creating a standard workflow from scratch, if the business requirements are defined and available, is no more than a day, more or less depending on the skills of the employee. It is an average saving of 3 times the efforts required compared to custom development.
Testing the workflow, adjust the workflow model, and redeploy to the test environment is a streamlined and very agile process. Project workloads are optimized and then, the technology is a time-saving solution rather than a factor of budget and delay.
