The Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) is a multilateral development bank that works to improve the lives of those it serves by promoting social and economic development in member countries and Muslim communities worldwide. IsDB aims to deliver impact at scale, providing the infrastructure to enable people to lead better lives and achieve their full potential.

In support of this mission, IsDB needed a convenient way for internal stakeholders to understand the company’s activities and visualize related processes. IsDB therefore sought an approach to provide better structure for its process documentation, as well as enable employees to access the required process and operational knowledge quickly and efficiently.
