DOCFLOW SYNERGY FOR SAP Synergies among people, processes, data and procedures.
ERP SAP system is present by one or more of its modules in
a lot of companies to support the analytic dimension of
business processes.
But these processes also have a no less important
documental dimension which, if not sufficiently supported
by software applications in use, lead to an employed
straining, energy waste and business slow‐down.
We have to consider the variety of nature of the different
documents involved, so as the various representation
formats.
Also to consider that the same documents are subjected to many release transformations during the manufacturing
process (let’s just think to the entry of the VAT reference number on purchase invoice). It is clear the reason to have
an instrument which can cooperate with the managing of documental contents.
The instrument which will support the documental dimension has to guarantee the correct life cycle according to the
business politics and laws.
Lots of companies having SAP also use Microsoft Office and Share Point as individual productivity instruments and as
working groups; so that they already have the basic instruments to integrate the documental and the analytic
dimension of the same managing processes.
The solutions developed by DocFlow on Share Point make possible to manage the documents by integrating
information managed by SAP and making all users take part to the processes in a simple, productive, and integrated
way through the traditional instruments Microsoft Office and Share Point.
