As a business manager you’re under constant pressure to increase productivity and efficiency, reduce costs, increase profits and performance, gain competitive advantage; and so on, the list is long.

Every unnecessary cost cuts into your bottom line, every ineffective process eats up time and resources that could be devoted to creating competitive advantage. Additionally, manual tasks run the risk of human error and missed or delayed steps.

Workflow automation allows a simple or complex business process to be carried to a defined step-by-step sequence. Once a workflow is initiated, the right data will be written or sourced from the correct database, the right person or department will be contacted for input or approval and then the process will go on to the next step until all required steps are completed.

And, the benefits are numerous; reduced transaction costs, faster turn-around times, increased operational efficiency, improved decision making and accuracy.

iPath Workflow gives you the ability to easily create workflows for your common business processes via a drag and drop interface. You can start with something simple and then grow the complexity within the workflow as users adapt. iPath allows you to attach documents, images and notes to workflows for review.

iPath Workflow can help solve your Excel spreadsheet nightmares, streamline your processes and reduce manual tasks.
