DocuWare Publishes Free Educational Guide

Understanding and Optimizing Processes

By using a generic company as an example, DocuWare co-president, Juergen Biffar, and Professor Heinrich Seidlmeier of Rosenheim University, demonstrate how core processes can be improved with integrated document management to reduce costs and generate profits.

Some of the most important business processes and interdepartmental relationships aren't really understood beyond the executive staff. Often a brief look at structures and core processes at every level can greatly improve a company's profitability. The publication, "Introduction to Business Processes" by DocuWare co-president Jürgen Biffar and Dr. Heinrich Seidlemeier, Professor of Business Studies at Rosenheim University, gives even the general reader an understanding of how companies operate. Relevant business terminology is included and various enterprise models are examined in detail.

The guide emphasizes core processes that are necessary to improve performance – encompassing everything from customer acquisition to product/service delivery and on to customer payments. It also details how integrated document management helps companies find hidden profits. With a series of tests at the end of various chapters, users can test their newly acquired knowledge. This publication is available for free at www.slideshare.net (search item "Introduction to Business Processes") and at www.docuware.com from the section "Info Material Overview".
