Ultimus BPM Suite streamlines vacation and overtime requests at leading pharmaceutical company
CARY, N.C.— October 25, 2006 — Ultimus, the #1 provider of Business Process Management (BPM) and workflow software and solutions, with more than 1,600 customers worldwide, today announced that Pfizer, one of the world’s best known brands medicine and the healthcare industry, has deployed the Ultimus BPM Suite to streamline many of its human resources processes. Now, being used by employees at Pfizer’s offices in Taipei, the software enables the company to process and track vacation and overtime requests more efficiently.
Pfizer Inc. discovers, develops, manufactures, and markets leading prescription medicines for people and animals. The Ultimus BPM Suite streamlined processes relating to vacation requests and overtime authorization for the company’s Taiwanese office. Previously, these processes were followed by paper work which in some cases contained human errors, plus users were not being notified of the process status. Ultimus replaced the company’s paper-based systems and a routing engine was implemented by integrating the Ultimus standard client on a custom developed portal.
Now, Pfizer’s 450 employees in Taiwan simply submit a request through the company portal. Built-in controls simplify the process of completing forms and verifying data. Each request is automatically assigned to an agent. Monthly overtime and vacation reports are generated automatically each month and sent to supervisors via email.
“We are delighted to have been chosen by Pfizer Taiwan as their BPM provider,” said Ned Smith, Vice President of Asia Pacific for Ultimus. “Our BPM suite offers global companies a programming-free process modeling environment across the enterprise, and is capable of meeting the challenges of large-scale deployments while maintaining the agility required to adapt quickly to business changes. It is a pleasure to help companies such as Pfizer automate their internal processes for greater operational efficiency and user satisfaction.”
