Automate THIS! Flexible Workflow Solutions for ANY Business ProcessAlliance ConferenceMarch 19, 2013
“We just need a simple electronic form…” …of course, if it’s over $5,000… ….hmmm, but if the manager is out it needs to route to the delegate… … and we just need to have their manager approve it… …oh, and did we talk about nominating teams? …unless the award amount is over $1,000… “All we want to be able to do is have any employee nominate any other employee for a bonus award. All we need to have them do is have them put in the person they’re nominating, why they’re nominating them, and the amount they’re nominating them for.” …and then if we could have it update the system on the backend and add the pay once it’s been approved… …oh, and I guess that all of them need to be reviewed by the divisional HR approver… …and we do need to make sure it’s routing to the appropriate managers based on our organization…

Looking in the toolbox… Let’s look at three available options: PeopleSoft Forms and Approval Builder Approval Framework (AWE) GT eForms™
Criteria for comparison “Simple” –How easy is it to develop, modify, and use? “Complex” – How well does it handle complex business requirements (e.g. data edits/calculations, conditional approvals, branching)? “Complete”– Does it provide an end-to-end solution (e.g. UI, workflow, integration, etc.)?
PeopleSoft Forms and Approval Builder • What it is: • Simple form design tool; completely functional creation • Things to keep in mind: • Unable to auto-populate existing data from PS or other sources • Business rules limited to only enforcing which fields are mandatory • Unable to incorporate grids or multiple rows • Branching and conditional approvals are not supported • Cannot add additional attachments once a form has been saved and exited • Limited security options What is it best used for? Simple, unsecured business processes with little or no complexity, and linear approval requirements
Approval Framework (AWE) What it is: Full-featured, robust approval engine supporting branching and conditional approvals, with configuration-driven routing behavior • Things to keep in mind: • This is an approval engine ONLY – no application included (you have to build the user pages and components yourself) • Significant technical development and programming required to hook the approval engine into an application • Very complicated configuration process What is it best used for? Workflow-enabling existing custom applications that require robust approval management
GT eForms™ What it is: Robust forms development framework, with fully-integrated approval engine that supports branching and conditional approvals, with configuration-driven routing behavior • How it compares: • Unlimited flexibility in designing and developing end-to-end custom self-service applications and eForms solutions • Setup-table design to enable functional management and modification of business process logic, page design, approvals, routings, and notifications, with little or no technical development • Intuitive page-flow design to easily guide users through process • Rapid development environment for robust custom forms creation • PeopleTools-based foundation for seamless bolt-on integration • Service Oriented Architecture to easily extend to third-party applications and processes What is it best used for? Delivering complete automation for any business process regardless of complexity
