Discovery and Documentation The first step in any process improvement effort is getting a clear picture of where you are today. With Blueworks Live your whole team can engage collaboratively in the process discovery exercise while your process experts can use complex BPMN to document the most intricate aspects of your processes. - How to - Capturing a process is as simple as typing out a bulleted list of activities. As you type, Blueworks Live generates a set of activity boxes which can then be re-arranged, stacked and grouped through simple drag and drop. Double click on each activity box and add documentation details or attach files on the pop-up form. When you're satisfied with your map, select "Process Diagram" from the tool bar and a flow diagram in BPMN 2.0 notation is automatically generated for you. - Data import and export - Blueworks Live allows you to import and manipulate Visio Diagrams. When you want to share your information, data can be exported as an automatically generated PowerPoint presentation as well as a Word document, Excel spreadsheet, PDF or 2 / 6

The analysis view shows the process and step in which the problem occurs and the overall impact. There is no more speculation on which improvement opportunity has the most impact for the business. It's easy for the team to see where to focus efforts. Centralised Collaboration Social networking meets BPM in Blueworks Live. Built-in communication features, such as instant messaging, live news feeds and the ability to leave comments enable you to immediately react to process changes that affect your projects. By consolidating all your organization's process knowledge in one place you can ensure that the right people are informed of the right changes at the right time. - Private communities - Blueworks Live's main login page immediately tells you what changes have occurred to processes you are either directly or indirectly involved in. Learn which new process have been "shared" or published, which processes have been edited and who has commented on which process. Choose to "follow" work and processes that involve you. Real-time status updates increase visibility and accountability while keeping everyone engaged with their work. - Public communities - Leverage the built-in expert community to gain industry, process improvement and BPM knowledge. A curated Twitter stream will be part of the Community view to provide you with relevant blogs, whitepaper and other content that can help you improve your business operations. The Library will house a variety of material such as tutorials, analyst reports and videos. - Access Control - Blueworks Live offers both "Editor" and "Contributor" licenses. As an editor you are able to create, modify and share a Process Blueprint. Contributors can view and comment on processes but aren't able to modify or create them. Both editors and contributors will be able to configure and run Process Apps with Blueworks Live. Blueworks Live allows the account administrator to set the level of access, editor or contributor, for each individual process. Administration is handled through a simple intuitive interface. You can allocate licenses by simply typing the user's address and inviting them to join. If at some point licenses are not being used, you can re-allocate those to new users. To order obtain new seats, you can simply order online by inputting your credit card and selecting the number of Editor and Contributor licenses you need. Automating Simple Processes Every day you waste countless hours working on the wrong thing at the wrong time because the 3 / 6

With Blueworks Live, configuring a repeatable Process App that gives you back all those wasted hours is as close as 90 seconds and a few form fields away. By adding a layer of governance to these types of ad-hoc processes your organization will regain control not only over the business but also over its inboxes. We take your security and privacy seriously Security of your information is a top priority for IBM. Processes documented in Blueworks Live represent the intellectual property of IBM's customers.
