The problem
Nintex’s “State of Productivity Survey” reported that 42% of government employees spend more than half their time on administrative tasks, compared to only 22% of private sector employees who reported the same occurrence. This may come about as in comparison to private sector companies public sector organisations have often been open for many years or decades with established processes that could easily have become outdated. Here we can see that an adherence to outdated processes is reducing the time available to work on high priority and value-add tasks.
Despite shrinking budgets and ever-limited resources, organisations in the public sector are able to act rapidly and see incredible results by using automation tools.
The solution
Workflow and process automation tools are the perfect technologies for those organisations who face the challenge of having manual, repetitive tasks. This is highlighted again in Nintex’s survey in which workflow and process automation was found to be the highest priority listed by their public sector respondents.
By automating repetitive tasks, individuals not only have more time available to focus on high priority tasks but can also model their process, offering a clearer insight into the structure and potential inefficiencies of that operation. These processes can be edited and improved at any point.
By utilising automation tools, organisations can undertake operations quickly and efficiently.
The technology
When it comes to automation, Nintex are leading the way.
Nintex offers a suite of automation tools that can support your processes from process mapping right through to process analytics. Looking more specifically at Nintex’s workflow automation capabilities, users can build workflows easily using a drag and drop interface. This means the previous reliance on high technological literacy to automate is no longer an obstacle. Nintex’s workflow automation tools are often used to digitise clunky, challenging processes such as those pertaining to starters, movers, and leavers, and so to have non-IT specialists able to automate these processes is incredibly powerful.
Nintex not only allows organisations to model and improve their processes but also enables organisations to integrate their workflows with other third-party systems and applications. This can truly connect and centralise processes and operations.
When it comes to public sector, it can be highly beneficial to work together. Nintex allows organisations to share and collaborate on processes both across departments and across organisations. This means the same work needn’t be done twice!
