Why does a business need Workflow Management?
- As a business grows in size, it becomes increasingly difficult to co-ordinate work done by multiple individuals
- Information gets lost in large teams, and is difficult to access as and when required
- The problem is even worse when the organization is spread across multiple locations
- Workflow Management provides the information glue that holds a
business organization together into an efficiently functioning unit
What is Workflow Management?
- Managing tasks performed by a group of individuals spread across multiple locations
- Recording every business event in a centralized database
- Automatic generation of follow-up tasks
- Automatic assignment of tasks to individuals
- Tracking incomplete tasks
- Escalating tasks not completed in stipulated time to seniors
Workflow Management consists of the following components:
- Centralized Document Repository
- Online Forms
- Task Lists
- Reports
