Introduction What is Axon.ivy Axon.ivy is a Digital Business Platform that simplifies and automates the interaction of humans with their digital systems. The platform is typically in charge of the most precious business cases where companies produce value. Here is how we do it: 1. Visualize: Our platform allows you to document business processes fast and intuitive. A shared view on users, roles, departments and technical systems that are involved in a business process improves your work. HR recruitment profiles become clearer, bottle necks become obvious, ideas for effective improvements arise by anyone who is involved in the process. 2. Automate: Documented processes are good.

Highly valuable data is often divided and stored in various dedicated technical systems. With Axon.ivy you can drive your process automatically. People, data and technical systems can easily be orchestrated by our platform. An initial application that leads users through the process can be generated without the need to hire a software engineer. People can contribute to the process by using their favourite device such as a smartphone or workstation. 3.

The Axon.ivy Digital Business Platform allows you to start simple and fast with your existing environment. You may start with just task notifications that are sent to users that should contribute to a running process. And eventually the platform becomes your single interface for
