Process Authors are process mappers who are trained to capture processes within the Nimbus BPMS. This may include specialist roles (e.g. Business Analysts, Operational Improvement Specialists or external consultants) or any staff members in College with an interest in process mapping.
If you are interested in becoming a process author, or requesting access for your team, it is a good idea to contact the BPA in the first instance (s.flockhart@imperial.ac.uk), to discuss your needs and to arrange the appropriate access and training.
The College maintains a shared pool of Nimbus Author licences, which may be reallocated on occasion, according to the business need. For example, when a change project reaches maturity, Nimbus author licences may be re-allocated from specialist roles to local Subject Matter Experts in the affected departments, who will maintain the process documentation as part of ‘business as usual’, without the ongoing assistance of a project analyst.
Should you need to re-activate an expired author licence, you can request its reinstatement via our Access Request Form.
