Successful processes • “The more we transform and automate business processes, the more we need to measure and manage to maintain quality and improve performance” Andre de Waal – Arthur Andersen Managing the New Economy
Streamline Administration and Processes - objectives • Develop common processes using common data • Reduce cycle times • Respond faster • Increase quality, accuracy and reduce duplication • Control, monitor and track input and routing
