Create Powerful Workflows to Automate Business Processes
Improve the quality of your processes, compliance and consistency of work with structured workflows. Easily track the flow of ideas, documents, resources, time sheets, forms and investment proposals. Take immediate action as unexpected problems arise. Automate the selection of appropriate workers to perform specific action items or receive notifications through role-based assignments.
Workflow notifications can include:
- Events such as approvals and rejections
- To-dos, such as new assignments and action items
- Notes to fully detail follow-up actions
- Time submission and approval
Out-of-the-box processes include:
- Document approval
- Time sheet approval
- Idea approval
- Six Sigma DMAIC
- New Product Development
Enable a gate review at the end of each project phase and allow review committees to specify conditions for exiting from the gate. As each gate is passed, the workflow can be configured to automatically copy the next set of tasks, documents, roles, budgets, and forms from the template into the project, creating all information necessary to complete the current phase.
Leverage Open Process Standards
Supports Business Process Management Language, an industry-standard, comprehensive means of specifying the processes of an enterprise. Seamlessly connected with the XOG™ (XML Open Gateway) service to facilitate importing and exporting processes and loading standard or third-party processes.
