# Author

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/271857/author

> Author allows companies to retain their corporate memory. 

Author process maps help you focus on what you do, how you do it and when it is done. Mapping a process identifies blockages, role ambiguity and duplication and redundant activities. Time-served staff have easy access to a repository of all information and documentation allowing efficient delivery of customer service.

Author clearly defines the interaction of individual tasks and clarifies roles.  Changes can be planned and implemented in the knowledge that their impact is clearly understood and communicated. Author enables you to identify risks down to the individual task level. Author process maps protect against this risk.

Process-based management focuses the development of contingency processes on the actions that will matter in a crisis. Additionally, contingency processes will not be regularly used and therefore staff will be uncertain of the steps involved. Author clearly identifies these in a wholly understandable format.
 
Author process maps identify cumbersome procedures and convert them into clear and efficient descriptions. Author allows the identification of KPIs within a process. Compliance with standards and legal requirements can also be enabled. Author can also highlight skills and knowledge requirements by role and by task.

### "CEO CommWell Health , implemeting  Arthur in 15 Primary Care locations" — 5.0/5

> **Pamela** | *26 October 2015*
> 
> Author is the breakthrough that our Healthcare industry  has been disparately needing.  Far superior to any other work design/process software that has been used in Healthcare to date. Creates simplicity  that makes processes effective and efficient in the most user friendly way. Our organization is using Author in every department clinical and non- clinical.  Author has been paired with our organizational policies, making  compliance among colleagues more consistent by  creating  standardization of work flows, resulting in greater patient safety and improved quality of care as well as corporate financials savings. Arthur has become our  organization's memory bank  and provides new colleagues with work flow tools that are  easy to understand as they onboard  and socialize in  their new job positions.  Utilizing the software for almost a year and remain very encouraged with its potential to create standardization and consistency in hardwiring all our  corporate work flows.
