Business Process Management
Connect Cloud can also design and control workflow in your business for optimal return. It provides an easy to use interface to design, implement and monitor long running processes across multiple parties. Each process is individually executed and tracked in a human readable format and the status of activities within a process easily identified allowing us to quickly determine how an end to end process is progressing.
The design phase of complex business processes is streamlined by our experts using a simple drag and drop interface which automatically generates the process script without the requirement to develop any code. This unique capability speeds up the development phase of any business process project and means a business analyst or process architect designing can implement straight from the design phase.
Examples of business process automation are:
- Procure to pay lifecycle
- Product synchronisation
- Catalogue and price management
- Bill presentation and payment
- Payment reconciliation
- Finance processes e.g., Connections to banks, Government agencies, Superannuation funds for reporting and exchange financial information
