Upon successful piloting, deploy the automated workflow organization-wide. Provide ongoing support, gather user feedback, and ensure continuous improvement post-implementation. Regularly review the workflow to refine processes and incorporate new technologies as needed.
Implementing digital document workflow automation transforms the way South African enterprises manage their document processes.
