Shaping the Future of Fun with Business Process Management Technology

Aristocrat Leisure Limited is a global gaming content and technology company and one of the top mobile game publishers in the world. With its shared enterprise-wide values, the company is committed to becoming a better business and preparing for growth and transformation to help achieve its strategic objectives. Through internal surveys to assess process capabilities, Aristocrat discovered that 80% of its business units were planning to improve process management within the next 12 months, so it chose to start its technology transformation with a focus in this area.

Aristocrat was looking for a sophisticated cloud-based business process management solution that could help it achieve greater operational excellence by optimizing processes and improving efficiency. It also wanted to drive a cultural change within the company, making the customer experience the center of its operational excellence goals.
