Watch the replay: Automate your business processes without coding

EducationSummary: Every day, employees at businesses across the globe waste precious time completing tasks that could (and should) be automated. The problem is, automating these business processes requires custom business rule logic–a task that requires manual coding. Business users often wait weeks or months for IT to produce the custom business logic they require to automate their manual processes. If you face this problem, watch this webinar replay to learn how you can create these business rules in hours or days–without coding!

I’m happy to say that we’ve recently enhanced m-Power with a great new feature: The Business Rules Designer! It lets you create new business rules in minutes, without programming.

What are business rules?

Unique to every organization, business rules are custom database procedures, programs, or scripts that define business processes. They provide the rules an automated business process must follow when it runs. For example, business rules drive common tasks like:

  • Logical email processing
  • Nightly scheduled jobs
  • Workflow automation and other processes

However, creating these custom business rules requires lengthy development cycles and manual coding. Business users often wait weeks or months for IT departments to create the custom code needed to implement their business rules.

What does this enhancement offer?

With the new Business Rules Designer, m-Power users can now automate the entire process. The Business Rules Designer lets both non-technical and technical users create business rule logic without coding. This feature helps m-Power users:

Save time
Because the Business Rules Designer uses a point-and-click interface, it eliminates manual coding. This reduces the development process from weeks or months to hours or days.

Remove pressure from the IT department
Because the Business Rules Designer lets business users create rules on their own, it removes pressure from the IT department. Since business rule creation is no longer an IT-specific task, it frees the IT department up for more business-critical projects.

Simplify maintenance
Because the Business Rules Designer stores business rules in easily-understandable steps, it simplifies maintenance. Rather than tracking down the business rule developer and modifying custom code, business users can understand and maintain every rule on their own.

We recently held a webinar to explain this new feature and walk through a business rule build process. To learn more, you can view the webinar replay right here: Automate your business processes without coding.
