Many business applications require multiple decision points and the ability to share documents among many users to complete these. Workflow automates the collaboration and assignment of tasks to accelerate the completion of critical business decisions. This equates to increased operational efficiencies, reduced costs, and organizational scalability.
Advantages of implementing Workflow:
- Allows companies to define, study and document their business processes
- Automatically distributes work or tasks to specified users or groups for action or decision-making
- Reduces time and costs associated with manual steps or inactivity
- Complete reporting and process audit trail
- Promotes responsibility and accountability
Most documents enter a workflow either as a result of scanning the document, importing of application documents, the creation of an electronic form or through manual assignment.
Typical applications that benefit from workflow include Vendor Invoice processing, HR recruitment and hiring processes, Medical Transcription approvals, Lab Results routing, Remote Coding applications and Loan Approval processes. In each of these applications, routing rules are configured which include the route each document takes upon entering the workflow based on index data. At each step in the workflow, decisions are made which determine the next step in the process. At each step, users have the ability to create notes that travel with the document as it is processed. Users are assigned tasks that need to be completed and are notified of the task via email and with an entry in their task list.
