Business process automation

Automate the flow of documents and information using business process management (BPM) techniques in Document Locator version 6 to define, optimize, and control repeatable business processes. Integrated document workflow in version 6 automates the flow of information, and eliminates many of the problems associated with paper-based, manually-driven processes. Errors, interruptions, and duplications are avoided; documents are no longer lost or misplaced in process steps; and all comments and approvals are electronically logged.

• Efficiency
  Build consistency and repeatability into business processes. Automated processes run faster, with shorter cycle times. Business processes can be optimized for cost, quality, service, and speed as a measure of continuous improvement.
  
  
• Regulatory control
  Define process according to requirements and policies for information management and reduce the financial risk of business processes not meeting regulatory obligations.
  
  
• Cost savings
  Automated, electronic processing eliminates the need to duplicate and ship paper documents among stakeholders.
  

Time spent in each step of a business process is reduced with business process automation. Integrated document workflow allows you to quickly define, create, and manage automated business processes. As people create, receive, route, review, and approve documents and other files, information is recorded and routed so that everyone is informed, productivity is increased, and audit logs are captured.
