Definition

A “case” is any project, transaction, service or response that is “opened” and “closed” over a period of time, to achieve resolution of a problem, claim, request, proposal, development or other complex activity.

It is likely to involve multiple persons inside and outside of the organization, with varying relationships to each other, as well as multiple documents and messages.

The business process will drive towards an outcome, conclusion or result, but may involve a number of different routes, options and alternatives, many of which are not necessarily defined in advance.

Current business challenges…

Automation has handled the routine; many automated processes are outsourced; exceptions are now the norm

The volume and variety of information can be overwhelming, and it is arriving faster every day

Flexibility is essential to responding effectively to opportunities or threats and meeting business goals

Regulatory or legal risks require consistent adherence to critical policies and rules

Why new approaches are needed …

“The new generation of information workers must collaborate 

and juggle an ever‐increasing set of tasks…Older process 

automation approaches based on old mass‐production 

concepts are no longer adequate.”

Forrester, “Next Generation of Knowledge Worker Processes Will Dominate Enterprises”, Oct. 2010

“Organizations around the world struggle to crack the code for 

improving the effectiveness

of managers … and others whose 

jobs consist primarily of interactions—with other employees, 

customers, and suppliers—and complex decision making

based 

on knowledge and judgment.”

Forrester, Dynamic Case Management — An Old Idea Catches New Fire,”

Dec. 28. 2009;

McKinsey Quarterly, “Boosting the productivity of knowledge workers,”

Sept. 2010

“Business processes must increasingly tackle smart jobs —

those encompassing more skilled workers who must accomplish 

a greater variety of tasks with relatively fewer resources.”

Why IBM Case Manager is different …

“IBM…has pushed the envelope with its case management 

solution, IBM Case Manager.  Combining document management 

with robust social, collaboration, and communication capabilities, 

IBM has integrated a broad array of functionality from its software 

portfolio to provide a unique business solution.  In the end, the 

whole suite offers far more value than the component parts.”

“With this new case management offering, IBM 

moves the vision

forward by making a reality 

that you'll be able to buy and implement.“

faster delivery, improve complianceSolution onramp:

26

Smart is:

delivering services more effectively

Business ChallengeSpain’s recent passage of a law promoting care and autonomy for 

dependent people compelled the agency to reengineer its IT systems 

to comply with new regulations as well as provide better service

to 

citizens.

What’s Smart?Implementation of a centralized process‐oriented management 

system for granting benefits, automating the agency’s work and 

shortening services delivery.  The system has allowed the agency

to 

adapt quickly to the new regulatory framework, and provides 

greater flexibility for implementing future policy changes.

Smarter Business OutcomesProvide better service, comply with new and changing regulation 

more rapidly, access to rules which govern the process closer to

the 

business giving improved control, understanding of business impact 

and audit history

"By combining the strengths of IBM Software and services, we 

are dramatically reducing the time to process benefits, allowing

the staff to put more focus on handling exceptional cases..”— José

Smart is:

reducing  processing time

Business ChallengeThe company sought a common and structured approach to claims 

handling in its Italian operations. Because the company’s claims 

process was highly manual with information spread across different 

systems and applications, adjusters couldn’t easily identify claims 

and tasks by priority or deadline. 

What’s Smart?By applying advanced case management capabilities using 

IBM

Software, the company created a “navigator”

that efficiently 

tracks the progression and resolution of each claim, consolidates 

supporting information, and enables adjusters to easily identify

any 

case that is nearing the deadline for claims processing. An audit trail 

enables staff to confirm for regulators that the company is meeting 

applicable insurance laws.

Smarter Business OutcomesReduced the time and cost of handling and processing claimsIncreased competitiveness through faster response timesHelped company cost‐effectively maintain compliance with industry 

regulations

“The most important piece of the solution is the case management 

capabilities. With this, we expect to realize a reduction in claims 

processing times and that will translate directly into reduced cost to 

process claims.”— A major financial services group and insurer

Business ChallengePPL wanted to minimize the risk and costs associated with 

records, plus improve document retention for regulatory 

compliance and information governance.

What’s Smart?PPL addressed their e‐mail and records retention requirements 

by properly capturing, consolidating, storing and managing 

content across its lifecycle, enabling compliance staff to find

record.

five days to just seconds, enabled a 75% decrease in time to 

compile information for new projects, and helped staff retain 

critical documents to meet regulatory requirements.

“Before, it could take up to five days to get a file 

from our records department. Now staff can 

access documents at the click of a button.”
