Manufacturers are continually trying to improve the efficiency of their processes across their organizations — from product development to manufacturing, distribution, supply chain and customer service.

PRESENCE can help manufacturers to:

• Gain real-time visibility and control over processes. Process performance can be viewed by managers in real-time to reduce bottlenecks and improve productivity.

• Ensure data quality and integrity with process models that actually run the process and provide consistency and adherence to manufacturer's business requirements.

• Enable collaboration across and beyond the enterprise. Automatic notifications and work routing across departments, outside vendors, and suppliers reduces time, errors and the manual handling of process exceptions.

• Extend the value of existing applications. Leverage existing applications like ERP and SCM by filling in the gaps created through more efficient Web-based forms, interfaces and reporting.

• Respond to change faster. Revise processes to respond to business or market changes quickly and with minimal impact on the business.
