Workflow automation essentially involves the transformation of current business roles, activities and tasks in use, from legacy systems into a more centralized, automated infrastructure. Processes like assignments, claims, requests, that were once handled on paper can now be handled digitally, with the aid of an organized workflow. A well-structured and deployable workflow solution promotes active participation from the employees, while producing more output and managing information in a more seamless and structured fashion. These effective workflow solutions have been designed, so as to combat potential bottlenecks within business processes, thereby promoting overall efficiency. Workflow applications are being portrayed as the de-facto standard, to optimize people and processes in enterprises today. While creatively merging academia and business, a controlled system for managing workflow of organizations is rendered, apart from extending to employees, an environment of automation. Quite interestingly, organizations with good workflow practices and tools in place, have adopted a renewed perspective of their IT function, hailing it as a business enabler that drives tangible benefits intrinsically.CIOReview wishes to highlight the significance of workflow automation in an all-encompassing stance, by bringing forth real-time solutions and product trends.
