Nintex: Enhancing Productivity through Workflow Automation

Nintex helps fill in the gaps between IT and line-of-business users, giving non-IT people the power to design and manage their own workflows.

From automating workflows and forms, to document generation, the Nintex platform leverages the world’s largest technology ecosystems, including Office 365, Salesforce, SharePoint, and other enterprise services platforms. With Nintex, IT professionals, business analysts, SharePoint administrators, and Salesforce users are empowered to efficiently build and use workflow and document generation solutions that enhance productivity.

With document generation technology from Nintex, businesses benefit from an end-to-end solution that increases the quality of engagement between their own sales team and customers. Users of Nintex’s Drawloop document generation app are more responsive during the sales cycle, which means they can close deals faster, leading to more revenue. Additionally, with the Nintex Connector for Salesforce, companies can build automated workflows that communicate with their CRM systems, as well as synch content and data online or offline. Customers can capture data, including geolocation, videos, images and barcodes; create new records; and trigger any workflow and document generation through the integration between Salesforce, Nintex and Drawloop (which Nintex acquired in July 2015).

Nintex helps fill in the gaps between IT and line-of-business users, giving non-IT people the power to design and manage their own workflows. Its platform, which includes Nintex Workflow and Nintex Forms for SharePoint and Office 365, streamlines processes on and between today's most-used enterprise-grade content management systems and collaboration platforms, deployed either on-premise or on the public cloud. Adopting Nintex’s workflow automation software offers several benefits. It streamlines communications in the businesses processes, which means no more email approvals or follow-ups.

Everything is consolidated into a dashboard, and managers can instantly view bottlenecks in the process and address workflow events appropriately. An owner is created for each step in the workflow and the entire process can be monitored in real time. By introducing this level of information transparency and establishing clear approval hierarchy in the business processes, organizations can achieve greater accountability and work more efficiently. The results are more conspicuous when processes span across departments and across geographies, even when multiple organizations are involved. What’s more, Nintex workflow automation minimizes costs due to manual errors and inefficiency.

Workflow automation made easy
Today, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies are making significant inroads in the business world. Nintex designed Nintex workflow automation with mobile devices in mind. Nintex technology unites the various systems in use across the entire organization, empowering mobile users to take full advantage of the cloud, and boosting collaboration and productivity.

Nintex firmly believes that those who take part in a process usually know it best and are the ones who usually have great ideas about how to improve it. Its automation platform has been designed with two key design criteria in mind. First, it must be easy to use and second, it should leverage existing investments in the enterprise content systems, like SharePoint and Office 365, with which users are already familiar. The prowess of Nintex’s workflow platform lies in the fact that end users build the actual day-to-day business workflows and they can do so after minimal training and with no programming skills. It’s that easy to learn.

John adds, “Nintex can be used by non-technical people to easily build enterprise-level workflow applications from simple to a sophisticated level.”

A unique business model:
In addition to offering innovative technologies, Nintex conducts business in a unique way. While it is a software and cloud services company that builds and supports automation products, it also works hand-in-hand with 1,500 partners that offer professional services like consulting, implementation and training. This approach allows Nintex to focus on what it does best: Product Innovation. An extensive network of worldwide partners sells and implements solutions for Nintex. This model has ensured that Nintex’s technology is sold and backed up by services in different geographies, business cultures, languages, legal environments and industries.

From a technology perspective, Nintex gives users the capability to design their processes with clicks rather than code. People can build solutions in hours or days, not months or years.

“Customers love Nintex because when you begin to better manage everyday routines, it adds up to more productivity, a stronger bottom line, happier people, and opportunities for teams to focus on more strategic endeavors,” says John.

Committed to the future
Satisfied customers, continued innovation and extensive resources have been the recipe for Nintex’s success. In 2015, Nintex earned several prestigious awards, including: Microsoft Office and SharePoint Application Development Partner of the Year, Deloitte Technology Fast 500, and Seattle Business magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For.

There appears to be no stopping in Nintex’s rapid growth trajectory, which is fueled by the rising global demand for solutions that improve the quality and speed by which people interact with each other and content.

“When we build powerful software that’s easy-to-use and delivers fast results, it quickly becomes contagious,” concludes Eric. “We’re focused on helping people do more of what they do best.”
