How can a cloud solution improve business workflow?

As an executive or manager, you probably have a constant concern about how to improve workflow to streamline and make your company’s processes more efficient. Perhaps you already have an established workflow that works, but you want or need it to be faster to take advantage of more business opportunities. For this reason, it may be time to think about cloud solutions that allow you to automate routine tasks, integrate various auxiliary tools, and maintain interaction between departments.

To improve workflow, you need to understand it

It could be the case that you are implementing a workflow in your company but you are not adapting it to the nature and reality of the business. In order to find out if you are implementing it properly, we will remind you of some tips.

Firstly, the workflow is a series of procedures that lead you to the achievement of a specific objective. The success in the performance of the work teams you lead will depend directly on the organization of the sequence of tasks. But this flow will also influence the quality of products and services, as well as the customer experience. For this reason, organizations need to improve workflow and track its effectiveness on an ongoing basis.

Workflows are usually based on a hierarchy of tasks and procedures aligned with business objectives and organizational structure. In this sense, managers or directors establish in advance the order of processes and delegate responsibilities among area leaders and other collaborators. At the same time, they take stock of the technological tools and IT solutions available to calculate execution and goal achievement times.

In this way, it is easier to detect when the distribution of tasks is not suitable in a particular department or the entire organization. Locating in which area of the company the problem is, allows to take immediate decisions to reorganize the workflow and introduce cloud solutions to automate repetitive processes, among other things.

How cloud solutions help to improve your company’s workflow

It is clear that software for the automation and organization of business processes has evolved continuously. From the classic on-premise format to the current cloud computing resources (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, etc.) that save infrastructure and space investment.

In essence, this evolution of cloud solutions remains focused on offering maximum performance to the automation of procedures as well as full control of the entire value chain. During the workflow, data and tasks flow between collaborators through a predefined policy. So if you are deciding to resume or accelerate your business’s digital transformation, it is important to remember how cloud solutions can improve your company’s workflow.

Automating tasks, vital for improving workflow

As we said, cloud solutions allow you to automate repetitive tasks, so that your employees’ efforts can be redirected to more creative and productive activities. Moreover, they schedule and execute processes while facilitating the tracking of the management sequence of all departments. In fact, digital solutions available today would be able to automate about 45% of the tasks in organizations. To this, you must add a higher performance and profitability in the processes.

Integration of digital tools

Indeed, the solutions we are dealing with allow integration between different programs. For example, a CRM as a base can be integrated with an Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP), as well as with various applications, databases, and collaborative work platforms. This allows the interrelation between different processes and departments of your business.

Faster data access and processing

In today’s business environment, fast data access and processing, as well as its availability to different work areas, is a priority. Data comes in different formats and from different sources, which makes it difficult to capture and process data depending on its use in the processes.

Thanks to integrated and customized cloud solutions, it is possible to reduce data capture and processing time to streamline the workflow.

Improve customer experience

Integrated and tailored resources in the cloud make it easy to monitor your omnichannel strategy and assess user interactions, all in real-time. As a result, you will make timely decisions consistent with your customers’ needs and expectations regarding products, offers, after-sales support, and social responsibility. This improvement in the customer experience is manifested not only in an increase in sales but also in strengthening engagement.
