Workflow

Information where and when you need it

Companies need to be able to act quickly to get ahead in today's business environment. A fast response, fast results, and fast decisions — speed is a key advantage that is ultimately dependent on the availability of the right information.

Having access to the data you need at any time is essential for keeping information flowing and ensuring that your processes are efficient and effective. Automating business processes means that documents get to where they are needed in the company, quicker. This allows employees to work smarter and get things approved faster. At the same time, employees are able to view and track every step of every process.

The ELO workflow speeds up your processes. The ELO workflow automates business processes and lets the system handle certain tasks for you. The tool includes an integrated form designer, server-based processing rules, and options for creating custom scripts, giving you the power to configure automated workflows.

You have complete control over who gets what information and when, increasing the efficiency in the completion of the task. In addition, you can create subworkflows to let you define background and secondary activities. You can also alter work-flows if there are any unforeseen events. The ad hoc workflow functions let you streamline decision-making processes, set up auto-generated notifications, and keep track of who has approved what and when. For example, you can call work-flows, select users or user groups, and set escalation deadlines if need be. Thanks to the graphical overview and reporting options, you can monitor the status of a task at any time and receive a notification if a workflow has been escalated.

The benefits:

Optimum control over your processes

Workflow automation for faster processes

Complete tasks quickly and transparently

Decisions are transparent

Less time doing repetitive manual tasks

Ensure regulatory compliance with process documentation standards

Document processing

Automated right from the start

Companies receive a high number of paper and electronic documents on a daily basis. The speed and accuracy in which mail is sorted and routed impacts overall business efficiency and, ultimately, customer satis-faction. With ELOprofessional 10, you can digitize and classify incoming documents of any format and from any input channel, and forward them to a downstream business process. Employees can then start tasks such as approving invoices, creating offers, processing orders or claims, and complete them with the range of functions available in ELOprofessional 10.

ELO makes for fast processing in the mailroom.There are various options available to you. You determine exactly how much you want to auto-mate depending on your requirements.

Incoming invoices and receipts are captured and classified automatically with ELO DocXtractor and passed on to the correct employee. All relevant document data, such as invoice and customer number, is recognized correctly and undergoes plausibility checks.Invoices with an existing purchase order reference in the ERP system can be processed automatically. This minimizes the risk for manual errors and ensures that documents are processed quickly.

The ELO Barcode module is another way to auto-mate and speed up processing of your incoming documents, such as sending out auto-replies to customers. The reply mail is pre-coded with a barcode, which means that when mail is returned to you, it is automatically recognized and assigned to the corresponding transaction or case. It is also possible to identify documents based on their file reference and assign them to the correct transaction.

The benefits:

Significantly reduces idle time and processing time

Considerably less manual intervention

End-to-end automation for greater transparency

Classification and distribution in the mailroom

Multichannel processing in one central application

No need to constantly switch media as all information is bundled

Easily integrated into processes across your entire system

System-wide processes

Optimum integration

The quantity of information that companies have to deal with is growing at a fast pace. This information, which is required for completing daily tasks, often resides in multiple systems and filing structures. Not only does this make it harder for employees to stay on track, but it also increases the risk of overlooking informa-tion that may be relevant for a particular decision because it is stored in a separate data silo. The use of a company-wide information management system ensures that all the data required for processes and transac-tions is complete and available. ELOprofessional 10 also integrates seamlessly with other systems, such as ERP systems. The documents and data sets you require are extracted from the separate ECM and ERP systems. The information is then available in a unified form without you having to switch to other media formats.

ELO ERP integration unifies information. ELOprofessional 10 extracts information from different sources and feeds it into a central informa-tion system. Thanks to the integration of all common ERP systems, e.g. SAP, Sage, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, your ERP documents are merged into a comprehensive document inventory. This enables you to fully map your business processes across all systems and without having to switch to other media formats.

For instance, you can automatically create files with all the required data for customers, suppliers, or orders. Besides the ability to create ELO work-flows for automatically processing tasks such as approvals, notifications, or checks, ELOprofessional 10 provides integrated ERP systems with a full system for capturing and archiving documents in accordance with legal retention periods.

The benefits:

Fast, system-wide, and transparent processes

Integration of different software systems/components

Automated information flow ensures faster completion of tasks

Centralized access to digital files

Information is available on all systems without having to switch media

Defined interfaces for ensuring that infor-mation is exchanged quickly and accurately

Information is complete and available, enabling users to make sound decisions

ELO for Mobile Devices

Anytime,anywhereaccess

Thanks to smart devices and digital networks, being able to work from anywhere is the new normal. Customers expect to have their requests responded to quickly and professionally.

There is constant pressure on companies to be better than their competitors and deliver projects faster. The ability to work remotely without losing valuable time is a critical success factor for businesses.

ELO ECM apps give you more flexibility.The ELO 10 for Mobile Devices app provides convenient access to business information in the ELO repository and lets you use basic ECM functions from your smartphone or tablet. You can also remotely trigger workflows to control processes. The app interacts with third-party applications, giving you even more flexibility when you are on the go. For instance, you can create a Word docu-ment on your tablet with Office 365 and file it straight to the ELO repository. You can even scan paper documents instantly.

The ELO QuickScan app allows you to snap superior quality photos of your documents using your phone or tablet camera and transfer them straight to the ELO repository. You can also use the ELO ECM apps for Android and iOS offline so you don't even require an Internet connection.

Connect with your colleagues. My ELO lets you view relevant information at a glance. The integrated ELO feed means you can collaborate with your colleagues and share documents on the go.

This means that employees require unrestricted access to documents, no matter whether they are working from home, on the train, or on their way to a meeting. Files, contacts, and relevant information need to be available on any type of mobile device so that employees can conduct business even when they are not in the office. Mobile solutions from ELO for smartphones and tablet PCs give you the freedom to do so.

In today's digital age, employees are flooded with information at work. The sources of information are just as diverse as the types of documents that you deal with on a daily basis.

The biggest challenge lies in the ability to extract the informa-tion that is needed from all the different sources, such as e-mails, digital or paper documents, posts in social media, and transform it into utilizable knowledge. Companies need to be able to depend on powerful, flexible search tools and mechanisms that provide employees with immediate access to important or frequently used documents. ELOprofessional 10 lets you keep an eye on what's going on and gives you access to the information you need right away.

Navigation and search

Relevant informationat a glance


We spend a considerable portion of our time at work looking for information. This time could be spent on more useful tasks. The search for information is one of the main cost drivers that organizations are up against. However, this doesn't have to be the case. ELOprofessional 10 provides an efficient solution for accessing and retrieving the information you need fast. Sometimes you don't even need to search for the information your-self as it is automatically found for you, such as important data relating to specific transactions or customers— in the context you need it.

Search

Save valuable time

ELO iSearch frees up time for other tasks.ELO iSearch, the powerful ELO search tool, allows you to find information and documents quickly and effortlessly. Various search functions ensure that you can access the information you need in the ELO repository as well as data from any integrated third-party applications such as ERP, CRM, or e-mail systems. ELO iSearch helps you find information faster, by automatically completing the search term while you type, correcting typing errors, and searching for similar terms.

For instance, when you search for "contract", ELO iSearch will also suggest "agreement". Even if the search does not return a unique search term, ELO iSearch gets you the results you want, suggesting terms that are related to the original query.

The benefits:

Find the information you need fast

Full text and metadata search

Intelligent functions (e.g. correction of mistakes) makes searching easier

Searches the entire repository and third-party applications

Flexible and scalable

sent folders, or tasks such as editing checked out documents, frequent search queries, view filters, and much more — it all depends on what you need.For example, if you have created a tile for your tasks view filter, the number of tasks that you need to complete is shown on the tile. A diagram on the tile also tells you how urgent the task is.

If you want to move documents in the repository view filter, the tiles that you can file the documents to are shown as an overlay. For instance, you can drop a document onto the "Tasks" tile to create a reminder. ELOprofessional 10 provides various convenient options for moving documents.

Compliance

Maximum securityConfidentiality, availability, and integrity are the three main objectives of information security. Given that we are becoming increasingly dependent on information and communication technologies as well as numerous business models which are largely information-based, security is of paramount importance.

As a company-wide information platform, ELOprofessional 10 stores a lot of sensitive data, e.g. confidential data about employees, customers, or company figures. Various permissions concepts protect confidential information from access by unauthorized persons, logging verifies that data has not been falsified, and documents are stored long-term in their original state.

This enables companies to meet legal retention periods and internal compliance requirements. Your information is safe with ELOprofessional 10.


Compliance

Meet regulations

Due to the fact that companies rely more and more on IT-supported processes, the methods we use to handle documents, data, and general information are also increasingly subject to legal requirements. Besides volun-tary internal rules, there are a number of mandatory legal requirements that businesses need to base decisions and actions on. These specifications, laws, and guidelines can be summarized using the term "compliance". With the functionality of ELOprofessional 10, these legal conditions can be easily and reliably satisfied.

Compliant with ELOprofessional 10.Version and access control, logging, permissions structures, or even encryption algorithms — these standard functions are an integral part of ELOprofessional 10. Adapted to the current legal requirements and specifications, they are the basis for legal compli-ance. The document version history is an essential component as it enables you to trace the entire document lifecycle. You can see who has accessed documents just as easily as it is to retrieve informa-tion about a document or view communication within the ELO feed. Relevant events and decisions, such as those relating to a process, are completely and chronologically linked to a document via the

workflow history and the posts in the ELO feed. Changes remain traceable throughout the entire document retention period.

Approval processes that are required by law or company-specific regulations, such as applying the four-eyes principle, can be realized quickly, trans-parently, and safely with the ELOprofessional 10 workflow modules.

ELOprofessional 10 ensures that you are in compliance with:

Legal requirements for document storage

Principles relating to electronic storage, immutability, legibility, traceability, reproducibility, and data access, as well as the provision of digital documents
