About The Customer
A Fortune Global 500 company, The Adecco Group is the world’s largest human resources provider and temporary staffing firm in the world. Adecco Colombia, a branch of The Adecco Group, provides Adecco’s services to over 1,500 national and international in the country. Adecco Colombia is one of the top ten job creators in Colombia. The company has more than 34,000 employees, with 5,200 branches operating in over 60 countries and territories.
The Challenge
Adecco Colombia, a branch of The Adecco Group, was using manual processes to communicate with its employees, customers, and to collect and store data. These manual solutions resulted in communicated lags, posed significant security risks to sensitive information, and created a lack of transparency in software accessibility among temporary employees. The branch also suffered from clearly defined process management, along with transparency around how much software accessibility was permissible for its temporary employees. Managers granted access to contractors on an ad-hoc basis, often taking days or weeks for new users to get access to the systems they needed. At the same time, these contractors were granted access to systems and permissions that were off-limits to employees outside of upper management. This posed a significant security risk to Adecco Colombia.
The Solution
Adecco Colombia began working with ProcessMaker in 2016 with the goal of reducing manual work to drive down costs involved with many of its core service processes. The branch started by building an automated workflow that allowed staff members to review vacation requests submitted on Adecco online. ProcessMaker would integrate seamlessly and extend the capabilities of Adecco Colombia’s ERP system (Novasoft) and Adecco Online. By incorporating business process management to the ERP’s organizational power of collecting and distributing data, Adecco Colombia’s staff could now make critical decisions quickly and with peace of mind. Confusion and time wasted is then eliminated knowing the company’s processes are centralized, easily replicable and deployable in real-time, and secure.

Flex Contact Center: Supporting rapid business growth with IBM Connections Cloud and IBM Verse
Flex Contact Center, a professional services company offering telesales, call-center, anti-attrition, back-office, helpdesk and collection services, has grown rapidly since its establishment in 2009. With operations in 12 sites across two states and four cities in Brazil, the company employs more than 11,000 people.

PureFluent: Connecting to partners and customers through the cloud for enhanced productivity
PureFluent, a translation services company, was facing challenges in managing its translation and document review processes. The company often received files in uneditable formats from customers, which required staff members to transfer text to word processing or spreadsheet documents. During the translation process, maintaining version control was a challenge because PureFluent sent work to hundreds of translators in multiple geographic locations. It was also time-consuming for staff to manage the large volume of emails and FTP transactions required to submit translations for customer review and ensure the integration of requested changes. Furthermore, staff were spending significant time hunting through their emails for specific attachments.
