New platform aims to redefine work with personal, smart apps
Users of enterprise systems are often deterred from completing tasks via mobile apps due to complexity or poor user experience.
Enterprise mobility specialist Capriza is aiming to change that with the launch of a platform that will for the first time make legacy enterprise applications fully contextual and end-user relevant.
"Enterprise applications have been broken for decades, and for some reason we've come to accept this complexity and irrelevance in our work lives in a way we never would as consumers," says Yuval Scarlat, CEO and co-founder of Capriza. "Consumer apps work for us -- information is contextual and presented in a way that takes seconds to consume and act on. It’s time for the enterprise to catch up".
The Capriza platform provides a fully customizable and personalizable user experience, reducing the time it takes to complete complex work functions. Unlike current enterprise software, it uses smart sensors to remember behavior and data preferences and allows users to create proactive business alerts based on behavioural or performance indicator triggers. For example, a user could establish an alert to tell them once sales figures for a particular region are met, or if their teams have exceeded their maximum number of hours for the month on a particular project.
"Despite advances in intelligent mobile operating systems such as Google Now, Microsoft and iOS 9 Proactive, enterprise applications still suffer from a severe case of amnesia," adds Scarlat. "Every time the user logs in, they have to start from the beginning. They navigate dozens of screens to get to the same information they access every single day. With this release, that changes".
Capriza strips away complexity and enables new application users to be up and running within minutes, with no training required. The new platform learns from user behavior and allows the user to choose which data streams to follow in order to personalize their experience and deliver information that is most relevant to them. Apps can be deployed with zero disruption, coding or new infrastructure.
Smart sensors deployed by Capriza within the enterprise applications send users business alerts when certain pre-defined criteria and thresholds are met. This can be used to trigger actions like automatically reordering stock or prompting a phone call to a sales contact.
The platform is application agnostic, and consolidates workflows from multiple applications regardless of vendor and application age. These workflows can be pulled into the Capriza App, designed specifically for the role of the end-user, allowing businesses to get more from their enterprise systems.
