Document-oriented workflow (BPM) enable business processes to be highly automated while providing detailed visibility into the current state of each document. Workflows can be initiated from a scanned image, an electronic document or an eForm that is submitted online. Workflow processes respond dynamically to business conditions and rules, so that the right person receives the document at the right time. Workflows can be defined in a graphical process designer, sometimes requiring little or no custom programming. Workflow processes can also accelerate integration with other applications and databases, while providing notification to users via email.
