ERP & Business Applications

Digital Workflows

Digitalise and orchestrate request, approval and service processes: portals, workflows, automation and traceability.

EN UNE PHRASE

A request travelling by email cannot be steered.

THE PROBLEM

The situations that bring us in

  • 01

    Internal requests travel by email: no lead time, no status, no history.

  • 02

    Approvals depend on one person being available, not on a defined circuit.

  • 03

    The same service is requested in five different ways depending on the entity.

  • 04

    There is no way to say how many requests are open, or for how long.

  1. 01THE PROBLEM

    Request and approval processes that are informal, unmeasurable and dependent on individuals.

  2. 02WHAT AXENEO DOES

    We formalise the service catalogue, design the approval workflows, digitalise the point of entry and connect the actions to the rest of the information system.

  3. 03THE RESULT

    A single point of entry, explicit approval circuits, full traceability and lead-time indicators that can actually be used.

What we do

Structure the service

  • Service catalogue and formalisation of requests
  • Approval circuits, delegations and escalations
  • Service levels and lead-time indicators
  • Catalogue governance and service life cycle

Digitalise & orchestrate

  • User portal and business forms
  • Task orchestration and action automation
  • Integration with business applications and with the ERP
  • Traceability, history and reporting
  • ITSM and enterprise service management practices

The ERP & Business Applications method

This domain sits within the pillar’s overall method.
  1. 01

    Scope the processes

    The target process is defined before the tool. Business rules, exceptions and volumes are documented — that is what determines the real effort.

  2. 02

    Choose with eyes open

    The evaluation covers real coverage of the requirements, the integration effort, the cost of ownership and whether the choice can be sustained.

  3. 03

    Design within the standard

    Every departure from the standard is examined: the real need, the alternative, the cost of maintaining it. Custom development is an informed decision, not a default.

  4. 04

    Secure the data

    Data migration is treated as a workstream in its own right: perimeter, rules, trial runs, reconciliation and controls.

  5. 05

    Integrate and validate

    Interfaces are mapped and tested end to end. Functional validation and regression testing govern the go-live decision.

  6. 06

    Keep it alive

    Support, evolutive maintenance and continuous improvement: the value of an ERP is mostly built after go-live.

USE CASES

Where we step in

  • Internal service portal

    Centralise the requests of a multi-site group: a single point of entry, workflows by request type, and traceability that can be used.

  • Automate an approval chain

    Replace an email approval circuit with a workflow carrying delegations, reminders and evidence of decision.
