Benefits of using SharePoint 2010 Workflows

SharePoint 2010 solutions provide a powerful workflow feature which helps in improving business processes. It enables organizations to optimize communication and time spent by employees involved in different business processes.

The SharePoint workflow makes business processes more efficient and quick by managing and tracking ‘human tasks’ involved with the process and providing a record of the completed process. Organizations use this workflow feature to manage document creation, expense reporting, employee vacations and more.

The number of human tasks involved in business processes can slow down the speed and quality of decisions. This feature automates and manages this ‘human workflow’ efficiently. This automation results in increased speed, overall effectiveness of the interactions and a reduction in errors.

  1. Share point tends to be better at most of the cases but there are certain terms where in the process proves to be not applicable or useful. Me too was genuinely a user of share point and am using the same now as well. Where with the usage I find difficulty in managing the expense reports. Replicon's expense reports software (http://www.replicon.com/olp/expense-reports.aspx) is the one such tool that has helped me a lot more than share point too to keep track and manage the expenses in an ongoing process.
