| Benefits |
|
Implementing WorkPlace as a front-end to your existing ERP system
offers
a number of tangible benefits for your organization and employees: |
| |
| Tighter Security & Control |
| Many organizations view their ERP system as the backbone of their
company. To prevent misuse or malicious tampering – or just to limit the incremental accumulation
of inadvertent errors – many organizations tightly limit direct access. By performing all workflow
transactions within WorkPlace, employees don’t need direct access to the underlying ERP system.
Only WorkPlace synchronizes with the underlying ERP system via 100%-compliant transactions, thus
ensuring ERP data integrity. |
 |
| |
| More Workflow Capabilities |
| ERP systems typically offer a broad set of capabilities but any particular
capability is rarely “best in class”. WorkPlace is focused entirely on delivering “best in class” Employee
Workforce Automation capabilities – automating procurement, project accounting, time and expense
transactions to make internal workflow processes more efficient, improve employee productivity, reduce
time and errors and save money. By performing workflow within WorkPlace, organizations and employees use and benefit from a much richer feature set. |
 |
| |
| Enhanced User Interface |
| Many ERP systems have very structured user interfaces designed to deliver
maximum accessibility to data for a broad range of uses. These non-intuitive interfaces can make it difficult
for occasional users to use it easily, quickly and error-free. By performing workflow transactions within
WorkPlace, employees work with an intuitive, easy-to-navigate interface designed for workflow, thus improving
their task quality, job satisfaction and productivity. |
 |
| |
| Web-based Access |
| To address security concerns or simply for legacy reasons, many ERP systems
are not web-based and thus not easily accessible. Busy, mobile employees need to be able to generate, approve
and review workflow transactions consistent with how they do business. By performing workflow transactions
within WorkPlace, employees are productive wherever they have a browser interface. Additionally, web-based
WorkPlace requires no software to be resident on users’ PCs (other than the browser), minimizing disk usage. |
 |
| |
| Cost Savings |
| Many ERP systems have expensive per-user licensing.
With every user of workflow requiring a license these costs can be significant. By performing workflow within WorkPlace, only much more affordable
WorkPlace licenses are required for those users. Over an entire organization, month after month, these savings
can really add up. |
