What is a process?
Put simply, a process is a way of doing your work. It's a structured way of organizing activities or tasks that produce a specific service or product.
For example: When your computer is malfunctioning, you may call a technical person on the phone and wait for him to come over, or you may start Emakin's Incident Request process that is automatically assigned to the relevant technical personnel instantly, and the status of your request is tracked in real-time.
Using a clearly-defined process flow saves you from chaos while doing your work. All of your daily business activities can ultimately be defined as a process.
What is case management?
A case is a set of interrelated activities. It may have participants like people, departments or external systems. If companies want to manage their cases, they must organize all participants. With Emakin's case management feature, companies can manage all cases through the channel feature, communicate with external systems and people, keep track of the staff's or department's doings while associating them between cases and processes.
What is low-code?
Low Code is a recent trend involving visual tools to develop and deliver applications. Low-code platforms have drag-and-drop features and pre-configured controls. By the way, if pre-configured controls are not enough to develop the process, Java Script helps the developer.
This allows users to assemble application processes like Legos allows people to assemble structures. Not only does this make application development more manageable and more accessible to non-professional developers, but it also makes the process much faster.
Starting to use Emakin
