SUEZ – Water Technologies & Solutions Migrates Business Critical Workflows to the Cloud with Nintex for Office 365

BELLEVUE, Wash., July 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Nintex, the global standard for process management and automation, today announced that SUEZ – Water Technologies & Solutions has successfully migrated more than 100 business-critical processes with Nintex Workflow for Office 365.

“The SUEZ 2030 Strategy requires us to be simpler, faster, and more innovative, to ensure world class operations. That requires very strong processes. It requires a global mindset, and it requires the right tools to support these processes,” says Gerard Van Kempen, EMEA CIO, SUEZ – Water Technologies & Solutions. “We are convinced that Nintex is one of these tools that allows us to achieve these ambitious goals as a company.”

SUEZ WTS provides more than 30,000 customers in every industry with water technologies and services to solve their toughest water, wastewater and process challenges related to water scarcity, quality, productivity, the environment and energy. Formerly GE Water & Process Technologies, the company was acquired by SUEZ in 2017 with hundreds of business-critical processes living in a GE bespoke platform.

Following its acquisition, SUEZ WTS had just 18 months to migrate hundreds of workflows crucial to its operations to a new workflow automation platform compatible with Office 365, the company’s strategic collaboration platform. SUEZ’s IT team worked with Nintex Premier Partner Hub Collab to quickly migrate the legacy workflows to Nintex for Office 365 in six months, which was half the projected time.

Working with SUEZ, Hub Collab designed and implemented a framework for efficiently recreating the company’s 200 workflows in Nintex for Office 365. The company developed workflow templates that were leveraged by SUEZ employees to recreate and improve the workflows in Nintex for Office 365.

“I was amazed at how fast the company’s employees learned how to use Nintex,” says Alex Joly, CEO and Founder, Hub Collab. “They became Nintex champions in about a week or two.”

Thanks to the drag-and-drop functionality of Nintex workflows, the SUEZ team quickly learned how to use Nintex’s workflow automation software platform and improve digital workflows as they migrated them to Nintex for Office 365.  The company originally estimated that each workflow migration would take 15 days to complete, but with Hub Collab’s help leveraging Nintex, even complex 20-step workflows were migrated in just a few days.

SUEZ successfully completed the migration of 150 workflows, realizing that 50 could be retired, to Nintex for Office 365 in six months without disruption to the business. Each migrated workflow was also built to connect with Nintex Analytics, Nintex’s process intelligence offering, to provide additional insight and visibility into the company’s processes.

Since the migration was completed the SUEZ team continues to automate new processes and optimize its existing workflows. Nintex for Office 365 has made it easy for employees outside of IT to ensure that their processes are managed correctly and efficiently.
