Workflow applications automate the flow of documents to employees for processing. It is the general term used to refer to the description, execution, and management of business processes, involving all the detail actions, conditions, data items, and results that are associated with the process. Workflow is orderly sets of procedures for handling business processes.

Why Do I Need It?
Workflow assists decisions and production environments by keeping information moving. Workflow analysis and redesign can lead to major efficiency improvements that significantly increase profits, capacity, and the effectiveness of your company.

Who Is It For?
Workflow technology typically is used in any business environment for well-defined processes where each transaction requires the execution of a number of tasks by several employees. An example of workflow might be a loan application. As the loan is received and processed it is electronically routed through credit checks, approvals and loan creation steps each with its own rules and procedures.
