Project-based Erp Visibility Wins Profile By Jaclyn Aldrich According to Stephen Carson, Executive Vice-President of Visibility Corporation, "The .net workflow system enforces the process. This allows companies to improve and standardize daily functions across the company without burdensome manual administration. This provides employees visibility into the status of "in-process" tasks, making it easier for them to execute their tasks effectively." According to manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, in the June issue of Industry 2.0, many difficulties in business process management relate to "offsystem" manual tasks, such as notification, investigation, authorization, and follow up.

Together this helps preserve the integrity of the business data and ensures the users of the ERP system adhere to the process that are set by the business. (Article continued below)
Process compliance assures the best value for the business efforts, helps to contain costs and maintain the value of corporate data. Carson notes, "Process flow mapping and tracking of business events guarantees that employees are automatically notified when important events occur, or when a transaction requires input. This ensures that cycle times of critical and complex business process are optimized."
