A decade of Excellence - Customer testimonials

From Bio-Rad Laboratories:

“In only 4 days, not only was EZ-Compliance installed and the training completed, all our Baan authorizations (>120,000 records) were loaded and scanned, resulting in the immediate identification of our SOD conflicts. A real eyes opener for us!  In addition, several hundreds of our Bio-Rad Business Controls and Conflict Rules were also loaded within the same 4 days!... Impressive“
Head of Internal Audit,

From Comcast Cable:

“Our initial estimates showed that our traditional approval cycle time of 2-3 weeks would be significantly scaled down to a few days, and urgent approvals can be processed within a day.  Not only did we achieve this key business objective, but the electronic approval made possible by EZ-Workflow also translated to important savings by eliminating daily inter-office couriers. Finally, all initiators, buyers and management are able to track on a real-time basis the status and evolution of all approvals”.

 “The implementation of EZ-Workflow has proven to be a wise decision for the Atlantic Division of Comcast Cable, as all targeted operational objectives associated with our capital expenditure approval process are being met. In addition, DynaFlow has proven to be a reliable and responsive partner, always eager to adapt the solution to improve our internal process”.
Sr. Director of Resource Management


 

From Herman Miller:

     (Customer Case Study available at http://www.ez-process.net/EZ-ProcessCD (EZ-Compliance section)

"After a comprehensive review, we have found that EZ-Compliance is the best tool on the market to address the dual roles of defining processes and embedding in them the business controls management that insure their accuracy and integrity”.
BPM/DEM Manager

"Having worked in public accounting for years, I understand very well what is required to become SOX certified and SOD compliant.  Operating EZ-Compliance at Herman Miller is not only enabling us to scan approximately 200,000 user accesses every week across nine systems (Baan, Mapics, Oracle, etc...), but allows us to immediately identify and mitigate any SOD conflicts that could constitute a business risk for our organization.  To process this volume of data on a weekly basis, we could not do it without EZ-Compliance.  Our auditors, both external (Big 4 firm) and internal, are impressed with our capability to perform SOD scans in so timely a manner.  In fact, because the scans are so timely they are considered by our auditors to be preventative".
Shared Services Controller

“In a manner of minutes we are able to scan thousands of users, roles, processes and applications! Not only we know precisely who is able to access what, we have direct visibility of any SOD conflicts for us to investigate, resolve and mitigate. In addition to saving us considerable effort, the EZ-Compliance solution has enhanced the accuracy of our conflicts identification, critical to maintain our SOX certification for years to come”.
Director Finance Shared Services


 

From Immucor:

“Unlike many software solutions that usually leave me with a mixed feeling when assessing them, EZ-Compliance stood out as one that delivers impressive results with limited setup. The ability to scan in only minutes thousands of authorizations records, from Baan or other corporate applications across several Immucor business units, enables us to perform the SOD scan as often as desired. It is clear for us at Immucor that EZ-compliance will save us time”.
Project Manager & Certified Six Sigma Black Belt


 

From Coopervision:

“I wish to tell you how impressed I am with your responsiveness to our suggestions and requests.  Normally there’s a lengthy release cycle required to realize any changes in a software package. You may live to regret being so accommodating because I will undoubtedly come up with more!".
Financial Systems Support Manager


 

From FTS:

“Because of the success we had with the first phase of deployment, we are investigating other Workflow deployments that will maximize the EZ-Workflow benefits in other departments. I can easily foresee a much broader deployment of EZ-Workflow within FTS, where processes will be greatly improved by its rich feature set and flexible framework".
Vice President  & CIO

 “The cost of ownership of EZ-Workflow was also significantly lower than other Workflow solutions that were investigated. This was made possible (a) through its rapid implementation capability, (b) the fact that the turn-key pricing approach offered by DynaFlow included the onsite installation & configuration, and (c) EZ-Workflow allows unlimited users to collaborate without extra cost to FTS”.
Purchasing Manager

 

 

From Siemens:

"Having invested time and effort on our Baan implementation, it is important for Siemens to secure long term benefits for the organization. In that regard, we have maximized our BPM/DEM asset through the use of the EZ-Process Suite. Tangible savings and productivity increases can now be seen as a result of the enhanced end-user support and greater work synergy."
Project Leader


 

From Solar Turbines / Caterpillar:

"Not only the new release enables us to comply better to our Solar Turbines / Caterpillar internal company standards, EZ-Publisher now plays a key corporate role in deploying our documented business processes (modeled in DEM, Visio and EZ-Modeler) and the business know-how helpful to ensure greater tasks consistency and efficiency within Solar Turbines. Now available to our entire employee community, our BPM/DEM process documentation investment is fully enhanced”.
DEM Architect


 

From MD Robotics / MDA:

"Since the implementation of EZ-Workflow at MD Robotics, several benefits can be easily identified. Tangible cost reductions are now possible due to the automated control and online monitoring of our purchase requisition process. In addition to an approval cycle being executed much quicker, MD Robotics have enhanced significantly the quality of the approval process by the dynamic routing of approval notifications to users, the electronic signature capabilities and the real-time tracking of all requisitions. No more costly delays, mistakes and lost of paper requisitions”.
IT Manager


 

From Chrysler:

"The concepts and approach used by DynaFlow were very useful to me and Chrysler to optimize how the system can be built to reflect end-user job functions".
Senior BPM Analyst


 

From Ernst & Young

"The instructor’s knowledge of extended BPM & Workflow really helped me understand how to maximize the use of the system".
