Nimbus Control enables you to:  \n􀂷 Capture rich and informative business process diagrams  \n􀂷 Enrich process content with attachments to documents, applications, metric data and so forth  \n􀂷 Organize the diagrams as an integrated, hierarchical model which we call a “map”  \n􀂷 Govern the content in terms of standard templates, version control, approval and access rights  \n􀂷 Analyze processes and model process improvement scenarios  \n􀂷 Record additional data against the process content such as compliance requirements, business controls, system requirements, etc  \n􀂷 Interrogate the overall content with powerful reporting capabilities  \n􀂷 Disseminate the content across the enterprise (or web) through a role based portal  \n􀂷 More easily keep process content up to date, and inform necessary stakeholders when content is added or changed which is relevant to their role.  \nIn a nutshell, Nimbus Control enables the implementation, management and improvement of business processes throughout an organization. The goal is to create a single, trusted source of the truth for how the organization operates. This should become the easiest way for employees at any level in the business to understand the process and business performance aspects which effect their role.
