******* Social media. Mobile phones. Cloud technology. The Internet of Things—all these digital
technologies are having a profound effect on the way we run our lives and our businesses.
One of the most important changes has been a radical shift in the business-consumer
relationship. Consumers no longer accept the company’s point of view, and have no

strategy. After all, it is these business assets—rather than the processes used with
them—that should form the core of any particular process workflow or case. By digitizing
its assets, a company can make better use of them, making sure any workflow meets the
specific requirements of the assets involved in order to deliver a more personal customer
experience, increase worker productivity and efficiency, gain deeper visibility into case
work, and achieve greater business flexibility... ******* (To read or download the whitepaper, plase follow the link below) |
