DOCFLOW SYNERGY FOR SAP Synergies among people, processes, data and procedures.  

ERP SAP system is present by one or more of its modules in 

a  lot  of  companies  to  support  the  analytic  dimension  of 

business processes. 

But  these  processes  also  have  a  no  less  important 

documental dimension which,  if not sufficiently supported 

by  software  applications  in  use,  lead  to  an  employed 

straining, energy waste and business slow‐down. 

We have to consider the variety of nature of the different 

documents  involved,  so  as  the  various  representation 

formats. 

Also to consider that the same documents are subjected to many release transformations during the manufacturing 

process (let’s just think to the entry of the VAT reference number on purchase invoice). It is clear the reason to have 

an instrument which can cooperate with the managing of documental contents. 

The instrument which will support the documental dimension has to guarantee the correct life cycle according to the 

business politics and laws. 

Lots of companies having SAP also use Microsoft Office and Share Point as individual productivity instruments and as 

working  groups;  so  that  they  already  have  the  basic  instruments  to  integrate  the  documental  and  the  analytic 

dimension of the same managing processes. 

The  solutions  developed  by  DocFlow  on  Share  Point  make  possible  to  manage  the  documents  by  integrating 

information managed by SAP and making all users take part to the processes in a simple, productive, and integrated 

way through the traditional instruments Microsoft Office and Share Point. 

Utilization Scenaries The experience of DocFlow  in real scenery at Clients having ERP SAP allowed the definition of a “real “ scenery set based on real needs by integrating the structured information and workflow on Microsoft enviroment.
