Lee Chang Yung Chemical Industry Corporation Selects Ultimus for Enterprise BPM Platform; Leader in Business Process Management Enables Taiwan Manufacturer to Replace Paper-Based Processes and Improve Customer Service.

CARY, N.C. -- Ultimus, the #1 provider of Business Process Management (BPM) and workflow software and solutions, with more than 1,600 customers worldwide, today announced that Lee Chang Yung Chemical Industry Corporation (LCY) is using the Ultimus BPM Suite for process automation and improvement.

LCY is a leading global thermoplastic elastomer manufacturer that is listed by Forbes Asia as one of the 200 most successful public companies in Asia and the Pacific. Headquartered in Taiwan, its principal activities are the production and distribution of chemicals such as methyl alcohol, formic acid, acetic acid, petroleum gas and others.

LCY selected Ultimus to streamline its customer inquiry process. In the past, when an LCY salesperson received an inquiry, it was documented and routed manually through multiple internal departments. Over time, however, the paper-driven process created a number of inefficiencies such as unwanted bottlenecks that slow down the completion of a customer request. The Ultimus BPM Suite has allowed LCY's customer inquiries to be processed faster, creating new levels of organizational efficiency.

"We wanted to implement a technology foundation that would allow greater visibility into how we automate and route key business processes," said Sam Tu, IT Manager, Lee Chang Yung Chemical Industry Corporation. "Ultimus provides significant benefits in terms of cost savings, return on investment, and overall competitiveness."

Due to the initial success LCY has experienced with Ultimus, the company plans to automate additional processes such as product pricing, request for materials and asset management.

"Organizations such as LCY are realizing that BPM is an enterprise-wide solution that can successfully automate and manage customer inquiries, complaints and other issues - processes that many companies still handle manually at high cost," said Ned Smith, Vice President of Asia Pacific for Ultimus. "We are pleased that the Ultimus BPM Suite has enabled the company to gain higher visibility into key business processes and deliver improved operations and outstanding service to its customers."
