Warning: Ineffective BPM can cost Millions
Organizations with as few as 50 knowledge workers can lose up to $1,000,000 per year due to unproductive efforts.
Imagine shifting those lost millions to your bottom line—Envision can make it happen.
Every hour wasted through disjointed Business Process Management drains resources and frustrates analysts and operations alike.
There are substantial cost considerations. For organizations with as few as 50 knowledge workers, we calculate that such inefficiencies can cost over $1 million annually. For Organizations with hundreds—or even thousands—of such employees, the numbers are staggering,
What if you could reclaim that lost time and redirect it toward driving innovation, improving customer satisfaction, and strengthening your bottom line? The Envision Unified Platform provides the tools and structure to eliminate waste of time and effort, and to focus operations, delivering measurable savings, a more effective team, and better customer journeys.
The Impact of Inefficiency – Industry Studies
Organizations across industries face growing operational challenges, and inefficient processes are at the heart of the problem. Research from the American Productivity and Quality Center (APQC) paints a grim picture:
• 10 hours wasted per week: Knowledge workers lose significant time searching for information, addressing process-related gaps, and navigating broken systems. (APQC)
• Time wasted– 25% Unproductive time can account for nearly a quarter of a knowledge workers’ day (PayChex ).
• 3+ hours spent weekly: Over a third of knowledge workers spend this time recreating existing information. (APQC)
Why Inefficiencies Persist
The root causes of inefficiency are well-documented:
• Siloed Processes: Teams operate with disconnected drawing packages, creating duplications and limiting visibility.
• Lack of Process Standardization: Apparently only 50% of organizations in the USA provide documented processes, and even fewer make them accessible or actionable.
• Outdated Tools: Without a centralized platform, employees waste time searching for information or recreating processes instead of focusing on high-value tasks.
• Manual Compliance Reporting: Time-consuming manual efforts not only slow down workflows but also increase the risk of errors.
These challenges don’t just waste time—they lead to missed opportunities, frustrated employees, and dissatisfied customers.

3. Enhance Productivity and Collaboration
Envision’s intuitive, centralized platform eliminates the silos that prevent cross-functional collaboration. Knowledge workers spend less time searching for information and more time driving innovation and achieving strategic objectives.
4. Provide Leadership with Real-Time Insights

Real Results: A Case Study
One of Envision’s clients, a large healthcare insurer, faced challenges with disconnected workflows and inefficient compliance reporting. The manual process required six months of effort to complete regulatory reports, consuming significant resources and increasing the risk of errors.
The Solution:
Envision centralized the organization’s processes, creating a Business Process Knowledge Base accessible to all relevant teams. Compliance workflows were automated, and leadership gained real-time visibility into reporting progress.
The Results:
• Reporting time reduced by 85%: From six months to six weeks.
• Hundreds of hours saved annually: Resources were redirected to higher-value initiatives.
• Improved accuracy and audit readiness: Automated processes reduced errors, ensuring compliance.
• The Enterprise Process Maturity rating improved: The whole organization moved from Level 2 to Level 4 in about a year; and is very close to achieving level 5.
This transformation highlights the power of Envision to deliver measurable, scalable results across industries. See the case study.
The ROI of Envision
Implementing Envision isn’t just about eliminating inefficiencies—it’s about creating value. Let’s break down the numbers:
• Cost of inefficiencies for 50 knowledge workers: $1,065,600 per year.
• Envision software cost for 50 knowledge workers: $14,340 per year.
Cost can vary by configuration
• Annual savings: $1,051,260 (a 99% ROI).
As the organization scales, the cost per user decreases dramatically:
• 1,200 knowledge workers: Less than $1 per user/month.
• 12,000 knowledge workers: Less than $0.10 per user/month.
These figures demonstrate how Envision pays for itself while driving significant cost savings and operational improvements.
