IPP2024 – Innovation in Production Processes 2024

The new business paradigm is establishing itself; the launch of 3FS and the development of the experimental product 3P attest to the success achieved in the long and complex transformation process fueled by the consistent and courageous investments in R&D in recent years.
Today Proge-Software is a Saas supplier on the Cloud and uses methodological and technological innovations to invent new forms of supply intended to bridge the gap between suppliers and users of information technologies.
This requires a constant commitment to facing the daily challenge of change on an educational level and in the persevering definition of R&D projects, such as those set out above.
But that’s not enough; they must be accompanied by constant process innovation to be incorporated into corporate governance in order to regulate new supplies by defining adequate project management and job order management processes.
The ongoing evolution essentially imposes the need to redefine company processes in which even the back-office functions are strongly revolutionized as a result of the implementation of automatisms that free staff from operations by allocating them to planning, monitoring functions and control.
Therefore, this year too we need to invest in process innovation that leads to organizational renewal and the creation of increasingly advanced automation in management control.

• Innovate production processes based on the use of advanced technologies for the automatic management of workflow and cooperation between functions;

• Continue the elimination of paper flows by transferring the complex operations of insertion, authorization, verification, archiving, consultation and dissemination of information relevant for the purposes of corporate organization to the automatic management of the workflow;

• Constantly align corporate governance with the technical, professional and cultural developments imposed by a market in continuous evolutionary ferment;

• Design automatic tools aimed at planning and controlling supplies, starting from the adequacy of the Security and Privacy management and verification systems.

In recent years the following results have been achieved:

• Restructuring of the company Intranet and migration of already operational procedures included in the company certifications;

• Implementation of marketing and commercial management procedures;

• Implementation of Analytical Accounting and Management Control;

• Creation of “Skills Mapping” as a powerful management tool based on interactive cooperation between the Technical, Commercial and Marketing sectors;

• Creation of the “Offer Evaluation Form” following the flows and procedures defined in the Governance manual;

• Creation of a “Dashboard” for the aggregation of accounting and forecasting data which provides a powerful interactive budgeting and forecasting tool allowing, among other things, the activation of an effective staff incentive policy based on the calculation of the profitability of the orders.

The activities planned for the current year are concentrated on the following points:

• Build business management apps and prototype dashboards aimed at the automatic governance of interactions between sectors, at the monitoring and control of the complex mechanism of the organizational machine, and at the production of interactive reports that integrate data from accounting systems to provide an overview of the situation accounting and finance;

• Drafting the Proge Standards, a document that defines rules and criteria to be followed in the management of software development and infrastructure delivery projects, starting from the collection and description of the requirements, passing through the design and development/implementation of the software/infrastructure and ending with distribution and tracking the use of the product/service;

• Build the Proge Building Blocks, pre-assembled and reusable software components and scripts, both front-end and back-end, which allow to speed up and standardize software and hardware projects, avoiding code duplication and simplifying maintenance;

• Develop the Proge Fast Track, software for rapid prototyping, which facilitates the development of the basic architecture of a software development project and the application of standards and best practices;

• Create the Proge Knowledge Base, a centralized repository for storing acquired skills and experience, which optimizes the re-use of acquired knowledge at company level;

• Implement Proge Training, a training course divided into different areas (Web, Mobile, Cloud, Data & AI, DevOps, Security, etc.) and with different entry points depending on the initial skills, which simplifies professional updating, both of new hires and corporate staff.
