I have designed 127 workflows in my life. Workflows to manage conflicts and clearance processes. Workflows to manage new business and lateral hire intake. Workflows to manage Know Your Client and Business Intelligence/CRM processes. Workflows to manage all sorts of critical business processes at law firms and for law firms.
And I’m done. Don’t get me wrong, I love what I do but….
Now it’s your turn.
If you’re at a law firm and responsible in some way for the efficiency of taking on new business, or are involved in any aspect of process-reengineering (automation) of your firm’s processes, I know your job is tough. It’s complicated. It’s challenging. It’s changing quickly.
Mapping how the business works, identifying current flaws and areas for improvement, and then designing how it should work is inherently hard stuff. The technology to design it and implement processes should not be though. So I asked the team, “Can you make it easier?” Okay, maybe I told the team, “Make it easier!!” 
And they did. (What a terrific team!)
It’s been a year in the making, and I’m delighted to announce the best next generation workflow product – Compliguard Flow2.
I said, “Make it easy to visualize!” They said, “Done. Design your processes yourself in Visio.”
I said, “Let the business people make changes without needing IT or PhD’s in advanced nuclear physics!” They said, “Done!”
I said, “Give everyone a head start to design their own processes!” They said, “Done. Templates, pre-populated examples, all based on our years of experience working with 270 law firms.”
I said, “Make forms as easy to design as the workflows!” They said, “Done. Drag and drop fields and click to set the business logic.”
I said, “Let them test and deploy it with one click!” They said, “Done. One click…”
I said, “Give the power to the people so that they could govern their processes on their own!” They said, “Done!”
Okay, I may be dreaming about white sandy beaches and drinks with umbrellas and ton of vodka (hey, I’m Russian!), I’m actually not planning on retiring anytime soon – I’m still here to help with the tough stuff, i.e. how processes should work, best practices, if you get stuck on something.
But now all the power to make it happen can be in your hands…
