Optimize resource utilization SMARTEAM Workflow enables companies to monitor and identify bottlenecks by specifying a due date time for each task (node) and for the overall process. - With the Workflow Manager, managers can view which tasks are past due, review workflow status, and even make routing changes on-the-fly and resolve bottlenecks.
- The new Alert Mechanism enables managers to periodically check past-due processes and nodes and send reminders to the responsible parties. The Workflow Manager provides statistical reports, showing the average time for all processes and allows advanced searches using any process attributes. This enables strategic decisions to be based on a global perspective of the company s work processes, both at any given moment and over time.
