By Joan Honig. DocuWare – Every organization faces constant pressure to become more efficient and do more with less. One of the most effective ways to address this challenge is to create efficient automated workflow. Today, digital workflows are essential to managing the activities of your accounting department. These workflows help improve productivity and enable your accounting department to do more with less, while also supporting good decision making.

What is digital workflow?

First, let’s start with workflows in their simplest form. In essence, a workflow is a means for routing a task to multiple people or departments in order for them to review it, make decisions about it and then pass on to the next person or kick off the next step in a process. A digital workflow enables your staff to automatically route digitized information to other process owners with significant gains in efficiency and transparency.
