Our Document Workflow Process
1
Capture
Automatically and intelligently capture your critical business documents: paper documents are scanned, while electronic documents are imported or integrated. All relevant data from the document is extracted and classified with meta tags.
2
Store and Manage
Documents are stored in a central repository where query tools allow teams to search for data, documents, and information — anytime and anywhere. Customizable security settings allow you to manage access, monitor system login/logout, and protect sensitive metadata.
3
Workflow
Automate repeatable tasks, route documents, manage exceptions, and extend key processes using Applied’s configurable workflow tools. Workflows direct the sequence of events a document and its information travel, according to your organization’s business rules.
4
Integrate
You may use other systems that depend on data and information such as your Human Resources software or Vendor Management programs. Integrate with these systems and more to streamline the import and export of documents and data. Applied’s central repository intelligently links documents and data to other transactions and activities in other applications.
5
Report
When critical information is stored in one central place, you gain greater transparency, visibility, and control over your business. You will better understand the status of your content and processes, and be able to make educated, impactful, and timely business decisions.
Innovation, Applied
Applied Innovation puts innovative concepts to practical use, helping move your business forward.
Business
With hundreds of employees across multiple offices (and some that work from home), managing information can get tricky. Sharing documents and large files, often with confidential information, causes concerns about information security. Revisions are hard to track. Operations get slowed down. Collaboration feels almost impossible.
Document Workflow software provides secure features to address these issues. Documents are stored in one place for employees to access with ease, no matter their location: the office, their house, a client location, or a coffee shop. The software increases collaboration by allowing employees to make comments on documents and tag co-workers for attention. Applied’s Document Workflow Solutions make it easy to maintain version control while still working collaboratively.
Finance
Processing invoices only by paper is time consuming and inefficient. Let’s imagine… your Accounts Payable team receives a physical purchase order. This paper is passed around the office for signatures, landing on multiple desks, where the first person signed it immediately, and the next person signed it when they return from vacation three days later. Eventually, the PO finds its way back to Accounts Payable for final processing and checks are issued. On top of that, copies of everything are made and filed for your records.
Document Workflow software streamlines this inefficient process, which means payments are timely, check or purchase orders are easy to look up when you need to reference them, and file cabinets with years of paperwork are eliminated.
Education
On a school campus, important documents such as admissions forms, student records, and financial aid paperwork are kept in multiple places, sometimes even in separate buildings. Retrieving these documents is manual and tedious, and staff are often taken away from more productive work.
Document Workflow software helps school administrators digitally process large document volumes efficiently and securely. With the power of Applied’s Document Workflow Solutions, your staff can quickly retrieve crucial data, delivering an enhanced customer experience to students and parents.
Technology Partners
Across all our services, Applied Innovation only partners with best-in-class technology leaders to provide pragmatic, top-quality, reliable solutions for your business challenges.
