Benefits

Improve productivity

Giving control makes employees feel empowered, eliminating the stress of uncertainty.

Ensure compliance

Reduce risk and penalties of non-compliance and ensure good vendor relations by making sure you fulfil licensing agreements.

Increase insight

Keep track of all the hardware and software resources you have, where they are, and who’s using them.

Ensure your employees have everything they need

Today’s IT departments are expected to do more and more with less resources and head count. Looking for approvals and manually tracking hardware and software is time wasted that can no longer be spared. Now an automated process can manage provisioning, track software and hardware assets, preventing them from getting lost, and ensures your employees are fully equipped to do their jobs.

Give employees control to request the tools they need

When you map and automate your asset request and approval process with Nintex, your IT staff doesn’t have to get involved until the software or hardware is ready for purchase. Once it’s purchased, the equipment can be automatically recorded and tracked – another time-consuming task your personnel doesn’t have to concern themselves with.

Streamlined, expedited, automated provisioning

Requests are automatically routed for review and approval, and availability checked. Then a purchase request is either made or existing assets or licenses are assigned and deployed. All with maximum speed and efficiency and minimum work for IT staff.

Remove the uncertainty from licensing

Easily keep track of which software licenses you’ve purchased to ensure your installations don’t exceed your limits. Automatically assign and/or recycle licenses and hardware resources to different users and schedule workflows to track software updates, resource usage, and warranty expirations.

Nintex process automation can make your organization more efficient!

We use Nintex Platform internally for requesting new project sites in Office 365 for new customer projects. The administrator and project manager fill out a Nintex form with the client and project-specific details, which is saved in a SharePoint list. We then use a Nintex workflow for approvals and site creation.

Nintex focuses on process automation and they are very good at it. Any business process an organization has that requires approvals and especially where those approvals vary (e.g., higher request PO amount requires more approvals) are well suited to automation with the Nintex Platform. Nintex also has a robotic process automation (RPA) tool, which allows for automation of manual processes using any software accessible by a user's workstation. And Nintex offers a process mapping tool that allows organizations to map business processes (manual or automated) in a standardized manner in a central portal.

Yes, non-IT staff use Nintex–some as users (filling out forms, approving and rejecting tasks, etc.) as well as implementers. The no-code capabilities of Nintex allow non-technical users to create forms and even workflows with minimal training. If a user can map a business process using a tool such as Visio they can easily learn how to create a workflow to automate that process.
