Jobs at Signavio

Knowledge about a process is usually divided between several different people and often just passed on verbally or documented in Excel®. In the worst cases, this information is not communicated with other people at all. Who is responsible for each step in the process? What risks are involved in everyday tasks? What decisions do I have to make under which conditions? A process model provides you with the answers to all of these questions. Its structure is similar to that of a road map; you can trace the journey from start to finish with your fingertip and discuss the individual parts of the route and the different crossings as you come to them. Where are there misunderstandings? What still needs working on? However these kinds of models are often only created and studied by the modeling experts or the process managers, rather than by the employees that are actually involved in the process. However four students at the Hasso Plattner Institute in Potsdam thought that everyone should be able to play their part. They began a research project with the aim of creating a modeling tool that captured the collaborative functions of Web 2.0. The prototype of the current Signavio software appeared in 2006 and in 2009 the team of students founded the Signavio company. With the Signavio Process Editor they introduced the first completely web-based collaborative BPM software program. The tool enables something that also works very well in Wikipedia, social media and information platforms – working collaboratively. Signavio makes it possible to work on process management as a team, so that everyone can get involved and share their expertise incredibly easily.
