To-order Manufacturers Automate Business Processes Through Visibility ERP Workflow

<h1>To-order Manufacturers Automate Business Processes Through Visibility ERP Workflow</h1>Author: <a title="Caitlin Gilmore" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/caitlin-gilmore/13779.htm">Caitlin Gilmore</a> Many inconsistencies in business process management relate to “off-system” manual tasks, such as notification, investigation, authorization, and follow up. According to Steve Carson, Executive VP of Sales at Visibility Corporation, “VISIBILITY.net ERP has the ability to automate business processes through the use of workflow templates; making it easier to control and administer standard processes.”

For most To-Order manufacturing companies, a flow or process may have been documented outside of an ERP system with no formal way to ensure compliance. In the past, routing paper documents and selective email have provided a partial solution, but with no controls to assure visibility and compliance, the value was limited. VISIBILITY.net Workflow enforces the process and allows To-Order manufactures to improve and standardize daily functions across the company without burdensome manual administration. This streamlines operational execution and provides employees visibility into the status of “in-process” tasks. Workflow in combination with standard ERP transaction flows make execution of business tasks far more effective.

Workflows can be defined with multiple or conditional branch points or event nodes. The VISIBILITY.net workflow engine automatically monitors the execution of each activated workflow to assure timely processing. The workflow task list allows users to quickly determine the exact state of an in-process workflow. The VISIBILITY.net process modeling tool allows To-Order manufacturing companies to establish business processes such as approval routings for purchase requisitions and sales quotes without the need for specialized programming skills.

Soa Helps To-order Manufacturers Streamline Business Operations

By: Caitlin Gilmore | 05/12/2007 | Technology
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) essentially is a collection of services which facilitate the exchange of data between disparate systems. SOA allows different applications to communicate with each other and participate in business processes regardless of the operating systems or programming languages underlying those applications. This dramatically simplifies the ability to integrate systems and data. SOA can be distributed over a network and can be combined together and reused to create more integrated business applications. These services communicate with each other by passing data from one service to another, or by coordinating an activity between one or more services.
