What Our Customers Are Saying

  • "At EY things move slowly and are costly because of the many silos we have to deal with internally, but I appreciate what BP3 does because it helps us tremendously!"

    BUSINESS PRODUCT MANAGER, EY

  • "I have been working with BP3 for almost two years now and it has been and continues to be a partnership for developing IT solutions that actually work for the business. The team is so engaged and energized. I really feel BP3 provides developers that are easy to work with, dedicated to providing a quality product, can communicate and translate needs of the business into a workable IT framework plus they understand the core of BPM technology to discuss what it can and can’t do. They have been able to walk that line to deliver what is needed, not necessarily what was requested and I feel we have a better tool because of their contributions."

    ELI LILLY AND COMPANY

  • "My team really loves the new system and they are excited for the enhancements coming in the next release. I think you all are doing an amazing job and I appreciate all the support you have provided."

    NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION

  • "What's going on here?  Things are going TOO WELL!"

    ELI LILLY AND COMPANY

  • "I really didn't expect to see this much this soon, I just thought it would be so far off in the future, so I'm pretty blown away."

    NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION USER

  • “I rarely give out complements. This has exceeded all our expectations. Really great work.”

    CIO, SILICON LABS

  • "TTI now has 10 bots in production that have already saved the company about $600,000, eliminated many mundane processes, and eliminated the need to hire about 18 employees."

  • "Your attention to detail, solutions-oriented thinking, and patience in educating our team did not go unnoticed. We were impressed. We look forward to a potential opportunity to work together in the future."

  • “What’s great about BP3 is that we give you a string, and you figure out how to make a rope. <other vendors> need us to give them the rope and make a knot for them, then they complain that they don’t get enough of our time…”

  • "Our business partners in Lending did not have a high level of confidence resulting from the first BPA PFM application.  However, this time around, the difference is night and day, and there have been kudos sent over to us by management in Lending regarding the communication, leadership and attention to detail this BPA team provides."

  • "We definitely recognize and appreciate the amazing support from the team and am glad to have quality partners aiding us in this journey.”

  • "We had a few odds stacked against us and other challenges till the end. But we were able to overcome all this with some sheer grit and quick planning. I always appreciated the high level of confidence coming from Jay and Rahul throughout and that mindset is a very big plus in today's environment. I think you guys pulled a rabbit out of the hat. Interfacing with the Business stakeholders and winning their confidence was a very bug plus."

  • “You guys have really opened some eyes here and I’m hopeful that will be the catalyst we need to get everyone pointed in the right direction.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Business Process Optimization

What is business process optimization (BPO)?
BPO is the strategic redesign of existing workflows to improve efficiency, accuracy, agility, and alignment with business objectives. It lays the groundwork for automation and digital transformation.
How does BP3 approach business process optimization projects?
We start with discovery—mapping current workflows, identifying inefficiencies, and aligning stakeholders. From there, we define a future-state model, prioritize quick wins, and implement scalable improvements.
What is the difference between business process improvement and optimization?

Improvement often targets incremental gains. Optimization is a structured, strategic approach that considers end-to-end transformation using technology, automation, and process redesign.

Why is process optimization essential to digital transformation?

Digital tools only perform well when they support optimized workflows. Process optimization ensures your operations are structured for agility, scalability, and technology enablement.

How do you align process optimization with business goals?

We tie every optimization effort to strategic KPIs—cost savings, time-to-market, customer satisfaction, risk reduction—ensuring measurable, relevant impact.

What are the risks of not optimizing business processes?
Inefficient workflows increase costs, reduce visibility, frustrate employees, and delay innovation. They also make automation and AI implementation more difficult and expensive.
How do you choose which processes to optimize first?
We use impact vs. effort models—prioritizing high-volume, error-prone, or customer-facing processes for early optimization and ROI.
Can process optimization support regulatory compliance?
Yes. Optimized processes are easier to audit, standardize, and govern—helping you stay compliant while improving performance.
What is the role of process governance?
Governance ensures consistency, accountability, and evolution of optimized processes. BP3 helps define RACI models, documentation, and performance review cadences.
What tools do you use for business process mapping and analysis?
We use BPMN tools, process mining platforms (like Celonis), value stream mapping, and customer journey mapping to assess and document workflows.
What’s process mining and how does it help with optimization?
Process mining uses data from your systems to show how processes actually run. It reveals inefficiencies, variants, and opportunities for automation.
How do you integrate optimization work with our existing tech stack?
We design solutions that layer on top of existing platforms—leveraging APIs, RPA, and cloud integrations to modernize without starting over.
Can you optimize processes across multiple departments or silos?
Yes. We specialize in cross-functional workflow design—streamlining handoffs, reducing duplication, and improving shared visibility.
What platforms does BP3 support for workflow and process automation?
Appian, Pega, Microsoft Power Platform, Camunda, IBM BPM, and custom development. We also integrate process optimization into low-code tools.
How do you document new workflows for handover?
We provide user-centric process documentation, automation blueprints, visual maps, and training materials to support handoff and scale.
Can optimized processes reduce technical debt?
Absolutely. We identify legacy dependencies, redundant steps, and shadow IT—then streamline or eliminate them to support modernization.
How do optimized processes support data quality?

Well-designed processes reduce manual entry, enforce validation, and ensure consistent data flows—improving analytics, reporting, and decision-making.

Do optimized processes support real-time analytics?

Yes. When designed properly, modern workflows generate clean, structured data—enabling real-time insights across departments and platforms.

Can optimization support hybrid or remote workforces?
Yes. Clear workflows, automated routing, and cloud platforms help ensure distributed teams work with the same speed and consistency.
How long does a process optimization project take?
Small initiatives may take 3–6 weeks. Enterprise programs with multiple processes may span 3–6 months. We deliver value iteratively to show early results.
What does a BP3 optimization project typically include?
Discovery workshops, process mapping, value stream analysis, tech stack audit, redesign sessions, implementation roadmap, and ongoing improvement plans.

Both. We support one-off initiatives or serve as a long-term partner providing strategy, delivery, and optimization enablement.

Can we involve internal teams in the optimization process?
Yes. We co-create with your teams—ensuring solutions fit your culture, tools, and team structure while building internal capability.
What change management is included in optimization work?
We provide enablement plans, training resources, stakeholder engagement strategies, and measurement frameworks to support adoption and reduce resistance.
Do you support agile delivery in optimization programs?
Yes. Our approach is agile by default—working in sprints, validating outcomes early, and adjusting based on stakeholder feedback.
How do you handle global process variations in multinational companies?
We standardize core components while building flexible rules and regional logic—ensuring consistency with necessary localization.
Can we pilot optimized processes before scaling across the org?
Absolutely. We often begin with a proof-of-concept or pilot to validate impact before full rollout.
How do you build resilience into optimized processes?
By identifying exceptions, building decision trees, and planning fail-safes—so the process performs even under stress or edge cases.
Do you support performance tracking after go-live?
Yes. We build dashboards and provide ongoing support to monitor KPIs, track adoption, and continuously refine optimized workflows.
What ROI can we expect from business process optimization?
Clients typically see 30–70% reduction in processing time, up to 90% error reduction, and increased throughput—often with ROI achieved in under 6 months.
How does optimization improve customer experience?
It reduces delays, increases accuracy, and improves responsiveness—especially for support, service, and onboarding workflows.
Can optimization reduce employee workload and burnout?
Yes. Removing low-value tasks and clarifying responsibilities reduces friction and frees teams to focus on high-impact work.
Does process optimization support sustainability goals?
Yes. It reduces unnecessary steps, manual paperwork, rework, and system waste—supporting more sustainable, efficient operations.
How does process optimization affect compliance risk?
Structured processes reduce the chance of error, enforce mandatory steps, and provide audit trails—improving compliance posture across industries.
Can optimized workflows help us scale faster?
Absolutely. Scalable processes reduce the need for linear headcount growth and enable rapid onboarding, service delivery, and market entry.
How does optimization help with employee onboarding or training?
Clear, well-documented processes reduce onboarding time, improve training consistency, and increase new hire confidence and output.
Can process optimization support revenue growth?
Yes. By shortening cycle times, improving quote-to-cash workflows, and streamlining sales ops—optimized processes remove friction from revenue-generating activities.
What’s the first step in optimizing business processes?
Start with discovery—map your current processes, define pain points, and align stakeholders. BP3 offers workshops to guide this.
How do I explain process optimization to leadership?
It’s about working smarter: reducing time, cost, and risk while improving output. We help you build the business case with clear data.
How do I know if our processes are holding us back?
Symptoms include frequent delays, unclear ownership, redundant systems, and low automation rates. BP3 offers assessments to uncover hidden inefficiencies.
Do we need new software to start optimizing?
Not always. Many optimization efforts focus on how you use existing tools. We also help assess whether new tech is needed and how to integrate it.
