Empowering Knowledge Workers

Knowledge workers are found at the heart of every service- and customer-focused operation and their critical contributions are linked directly with business innovation.

Typical knowledge work includes strategic planning, patient care, and communication-intensive, event-driven activities, such as customer onboarding, contract management, customer claims management, and purchase-to-pay, as well as legal, investigative and analytic work, and fraud investigations.

Knowledge work is mostly
UNSTRUCTURED and UNPREDICTIBLE

The primary purpose of knowledge work involves "non-routine" problem-solving and the creation, distribution and application of information. When dealing with different case contexts and event-driven processing, knowledge workers do not always follow the same process path.

Rather, they perform situational assessments using all available static and dynamic information and communicate interactively within the organization and with clients, in order to make competent decisions, which in turn determine the actual process execution path. Business process execution always drives toward the outcome but may involve a number of different routes, options and alternatives, many of which have not been defined in advance.

Knowledge work is CASE-ORIENTED
rather than transactional

According to Gartner, transactional business processing has been outpaced by case management solutions that are increasingly used to enhance knowledge worker productivity, provide transparency for case settlement decisions, improve compliance, facilitate collaboration among caseworkers, better coordinate information flows and provide better monitoring of case status.

A “Case” is a project or a service that is “opened”, and processed over a period of time to achieve resolution of a request, problem, claim or any other type of complex activity before being “closed” again.

Such cases can be, for example, a patient record, a lawsuit, an insurance claim, or a contract, and may involve different groups of people inside and outside of an organization who typically use diverse communication channels to effectively communicate and collaborate. The case itself should contain all relevant documents, customer data and communications, case evidence data, policies, rules, and other information needed to successfully process and manage the case for the case resolution, as well as for audit and compliance purposes.

Adaptive Case Management for Knowledge Work

Goal orientation

As within knowledge work it is often not possible to follow predefined flows, case processing requires clearly defined goals, authority assigned to performers, and means to achieve the case goals.

Adaptive Case Management: Goal orientation

Giving knowledge workers the power to create and execute exactly what they need to achieve the goals and the best possible case outcome is of critical importance for the success and growth of any business – and usually for the satisfaction of its customers.

Papyrus Adaptive Case Management

Papyrus ACM provides the business case management functionality for all types of processes in one environment and enables corporate management to communicate business strategy to diverse departments in a uniform way, based on one single model.

The Spectrum of Business Processes

Giving knowledge workers the power to create and execute exactly what they need to achieve the goals and the best possible case outcome is of critical importance for the success and growth of any business – and usually for the satisfaction of its customers.

Empowerment of Business Users

Papyrus ACM is designed as an empowerment technology for organizations to selectively and securely empower non-technical knowledge workers to interact with all process artifacts in real time and create processes with any sequence and structure interactively, on the fly. Effectiveness and transparency are achieved by linking customers and process performers in the context of the business process.

With Papyrus, knowledge workers can design communication and create and modify customer interactions, as well as manage business rules and adaptive processes, and freely interact with process artifacts to dynamically change content, processes and rules at process execution time to achieve the optimal customer experience and business outcomes.

The assembly and modification of running processes is supported with ready-to-use reusable templates for all relevant elements of a business case (case, goal, process, participant, artifact, etc.) that can be easily selected, simply customized and used by the business user in an individual case without technical skills.

Template-based approach

Design-by-Doing

Newly created and modified processes are immediately executable without the time-consuming step of translation of the process model into the executable process code, which leads to considerably increased efficiency.

Running processes can be modified by non-technical business users ”on-the-fly“ at the process execution time to adapt to the requirements of the specific business situation as needed.

Design by Doing

The corresponding graphical BPMN notation with all the decision process steps and process modifications is automatically charted in the background, and can be subsequently saved as a template to be used in similar business situations. This approach is called "Design-by-Doing".

The knowledge from execution is fed back into the process and case templates. This way, many non-cost-intensive process improvements are consequently and automatically implemented in accordance with the business strategy during normal day-to-day work, rather than through programmed, add-on functions or workarounds.

Embedded Natural Language Rules (NLR) Engine

Knowledge workers can define business rules simply by using system suggestions and entering everyday language terms, which are automatically checked on syntax, logic and data validity and can be presented and processed in multiple languages based on one definition. Business rules have an effect on events, goals, sub-processes, tasks and state transitions in a process and determine the overall business case and process execution.

Access to relevant Data and Content

Real-time access to all content, documents and data required in the context of a specific business case is provided for case workers using Papyrus to quickly make qualified decisions and communicate these to their co-workers and customers.

Artificial Intelligence Mentoring System

An innovative pattern-matching technology, modeled after human learning - the Papyrus User-Trained Agent (UTA) - provides a powerful mentoring system for knowledge-workers to assist in decision-making. The UTA intuitively learns from actions performed by business users through pattern recognition on data objects and their relationships across business cases, and can effectively suggest appropriate actions in given situations by analyzing relevant elements, actively supporting business users in making autonomous decisions.

Digital Collaboration

The ACM Workplace supports digital collaboration with an integrated chat and commenting functionality for business users to consult their co-workers, and to discuss case-related matters, as well as interact directly with customers. Dynamic inclusion of general Web content and social network services allows for rich Web apps, video chat, wikis, blogging and social interaction with co-workers, all under the control of role/policy authorization provided by the Papyrus Platform and in the context of the business case. The entire communication is saved and becomes a part of the business case.
