Press Release Body = According to Stephen Carson, Executive vice-president of
Visibility Corporation, "The .net workflow system enforces the process. This allows
companies to improve and standardize daily functions across the company without
burdensome manual administration. This provides employees visibility into the status
of "in-process" tasks, making it easier for them to execute their tasks
effectively."

Many difficulties in business process management relate to "off-system" manual
tasks, such as notification, investigation, authorization, and follow up. The
ability to automate business process through the use of workflow templates makes it
easier to control and administer stated processes through the necessary steps.

According to manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, in the current issue of
Automation.com, "A flow or process may have been documented outside of an ERP
(enterprise resource planning) system, where there is no formal way to ensure
compliance. In the past, paper documents and unmanaged email have provided the best
solutions, but with no controls to ensure visibility and compliance, the value was
limited."

In "make-to-stock" environment, business processes can remain stable and unchanged
for many years, or until a new product line is developed. In a "to-order"
environment business processes are significantly influenced by the nature of the
order or contract being executed. Not only can each order or contract involve
different type of process, but the value of contracts can have a significant
influence.

Automating business processes streamlines business operations thus minimizing
overhead costs and forcing disciplines based on best practices. Together this helps
preserve the integrity of the business data and ensures the users of the ERP system
adhere to the process that are set by the business. Process compliance assures the
best value for the business efforts, helps to contain costs and maintain the value
of corporate data. Carson notes, "Process flow mapping and tracking of business
events guarantees that employees are automatically notified when important events
occur, or when a transaction requires input. This ensures that cycle times of
critical and complex business process are optimized."
