According to Stephen Carson, Executive vice-president ofVisibility Corporation,  The .net workflow system enforces the process. This allowscompanies to improve and standardize daily functions across the company withoutburdensome manual administration. This provides employees visibility into the statusof  in-process tasks, making it easier for them to execute their taskseffectively.Â
Many difficulties in business process management relate to  off-system manualtasks, such as notification, investigation, authorization, and follow up. Theability to automate business process through the use of workflow templates makes iteasier to control and administer stated processes through the necessary steps.
According to manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, in the current issue ofAutomation.com, Â A flow or process may have been documented outside of an ERP(enterprise resource planning) system, where there is no formal way to ensurecompliance. In the past, paper documents and unmanaged email have provided the bestsolutions, but with no controls to ensure visibility and compliance, the value waslimited.Â
In  make-to-stock environment, business processes can remain stable and unchangedfor many years, or until a new product line is developed. In a  to-order environment business processes are significantly influenced by the nature of theorder or contract being executed. Not only can each order or contract involvedifferent type of process, but the value of contracts can have a significantinfluence.
Automating business processes streamlines business operations thus minimizingoverhead costs and forcing disciplines based on best practices. Together this helpspreserve the integrity of the business data and ensures the users of the ERP systemadhere to the process that are set by the business. Process compliance assures thebest value for the business efforts, helps to contain costs and maintain the valueof corporate data. Carson notes, Â Process flow mapping and tracking of businessevents guarantees that employees are automatically notified when important eventsoccur, or when a transaction requires input. This ensures that cycle times ofcritical and complex business process are optimized.Â
