Business Process Automation

  • Time Tracking
  • Expense Submittals
  • Vacation Request Submittals
  • Travel Request Submittals
  • Etc
Other processes can be ones that are unique to your organization:
  • Loan Processing at a bank
  • Album Creation at a record company
  • Product/Change Management at a toy manufacturer
  • Hardware and Software Management at an IT company
  • Book Publishing at a publisher
