Promanade-X

Promanade-X (eXtended) takes process understanding and management even further beyond mere process mapping than Promanade-E - making it easy for managers and staff alike to appreciate and manage the key factors affecting process performance.

It also extends the comprehensive range of data manipulation features to cater for the needs of consultants and the more sophisticated user.

It generates a comprehensive electronic (HTML) management system which offers "alternative views" of individual processes (showing eg performance standards, business risks and competency requirements) as well as search and print features.
