Accelerate Internal and External Shared Business Processes
Make business process initiation, participation, tracking, and reporting easy and flexible by
providing a simple, consistent user experience through familiar client applications. Optimize
the way people, content, and processes interact within and across organizations.
Boost employee productivity by simplifying everyday business activities
Take advantage of workflows to automate and gain more visibility into common business
activities like document review and approval, issue tracking, and signature collection.
Integration with familiar client applications, e-mail, and Web browsers simplifies the user
experience. End users can easily define and model their own processes using familiar
Microsoft tools.
Extend business processes across the organization
Enhance your relationships with customers, partners, and suppliers by making forms-based
business processes easily accessible to them, even if they haven’t installed client software.
Built-in validation rules and integration with Microsoft information rights management (IRM)
help to ensure that critical business information can be collected with enhanced security and
accuracy.
Focus on strategic, value-added tasks instead of redundant activities
Information gathered using electronic forms can be integrated easily into line-of-business
(LOB) systems, stored in document libraries, used to start workflow processes, or submitted
to Web services. This helps users avoid duplicate efforts and costly errors from manual data
entry, and it helps ensure they have access to accurate, real-time data.
Make Better-Informed Decisions through Centralized Access
to Information
Provide a single, integrated location where employees can efficiently find organizational
resources, access corporate knowledge, and leverage business insight in order to make
better-informed decisions.
Present business-critical information in one central location
Create live, interactive business intelligence (BI) portals that assemble and display business
information from disparate sources, using integrated BI capabilities such as dashboards, Web
Parts, key performance indicators (KPIs), and business data connectivity technologies.
Centralized Report Center sites give users a single place to find the latest reports,
spreadsheets, or KPIs.
