Global-X - Reducing organizational Interfaces in Enterprises

In-house interfaces ¨C determined by the organizational set up of enterprises - often are a costly waste of time and resources in projects and internal collaboration. The results are inefficiencies such as doing the work twice, loss of information, errors or delays, provoking lost business opportunities and unhappy customers.

This presentation introduces to the subject and shows in a simple approach - business process mapping ¨C how a process can be setup with fewer interfaces or make interfaces work smoother, also between departments. This knowledge is essential for projects such as the introduction or optimization of ERP software or just setting up efficient workflow for offices and technical departments.
