Workflow solutions provide a consistent, automated way for tasks or processes to flow across your enterprise. Workflow enforces business policies and procedures by defining business rules, participants, and the documents and information associated with each workflow.  When a process is initiated, decision makers and others who need to be involved are automatically alerted — and can respond — right from their desktop or PDA. The process is completely electronic, so paperwork is greatly reduced or eliminated altogether, and the cost of processing each transaction drops dramatically.

Most workflow products on the market today either incorporate or are compatible with management reporting tools.  These enable monitoring of each individual workflow, allowing users with the correct authority to see who did what and when, thus identifying bottlenecks or potential bottlenecks.

In summary, automated workflows bring speed, accuracy, and consistency to business processes.
