“According to the experts, the next century looks like an airplane runway that never ends, with the technology careening faster and faster toward an unknown terrain. -Nora Isaacs”
Because the IT industry thrives on rapidly changing technologies. Those who work in IT should embrace change rather than fight it.
Beyond Customization

the process around the tool”
▪ Purpose-built business processes and integrated automation through workflow, alerts and document management
▪ Provide clients with an ongoing, customized solution which melds their evolving line of business with best practice.
Technology Change
■ Process Change ▪ If Unifier is configured on top of bad processes, don’t blame
Unifier. Use Unifier to perform process analytics and to make incremental improvements.
▪ •Unifier is not a silver bullet, but it is a tool to be used on the evolving path to improvement.
