01 INTRODUCTION
Traditionally, Process Modelling tools, documents, flowcharts, power point presentations are
used for defining/representing business processes. It was observed and realized that sometimes
these media are failed to provide a clear representation of the E2E picture, process flow andtimelines.
Some challenges are also observed in share/distribute information, imparting trainings, online
learning, check/test user knowledge and capability.
To address these short comings, a colorful, vibrant and interactive digital visualization tool was
developed Called PRIDE (PRocess Interactive DEpicter). PRIDE is useful for providing the
realistic view of business processes, multimedia presentation, training pack and e-Learning
solutions to customer community. It uses visualization and animation techniques for easy
understanding.
This whitepaper covers business challenges, solution, methodology and business benefits of
PRIDE.
02 PROBLEM STATEMENTS FOR SERVICE INDUSTRY

Better
Quick Reference
Training Material
Regular Knowledge updates
Issue Management
To overcome these challenges PRIDE was formulated. PRIDE tool helps:
To make interactive process models for easy & fast learning of captured processes fromoperational communities.To consolidate all the details like operating procedures, low level process, systemscreens, etc… in a single pack it help to make quick decision.Applications developed using PRIDE Tool act as a single repository for making all theinformation easier to refer and manage by various communities. It helps to reduce CT ofuser’s own activities.
