Demand Management Inc., a leading global resource for supply chain
management solutions, has announced the addition of sophisticated
workflow technology to its Demand Solutions DSX supply chain planning
solution. Rather than simply providing email functionality, Demand
Management’s workflow is fully configurable by user and role.
Demand Solutions DSX provides a real-world proven forecasting engine
along with a suite of tools that allow users to incorporate their
business expertise into their demand planning process. By integrating
powerful workflow capabilities into the solution, Demand Management is
giving customers greater control over their unique business processes.
“Across the supply chain planning space, most of the current workflow
technology just lets you send emails back and forth as business issues
arise,” says Bill Harrison, president of Demand Management. “That’s not
a true productivity enhancer because it relies on people to be available
and responsive to keep business processes moving. The workflow
capabilities in Demand Solutions DSX allow customers to configure
consistent, disciplined processes throughout their companies.”
As customers implement Demand Solutions DSX, they can define their exact
business processes within the system. The platform also allows them to
segment users by person or by role. From that point on, they can use a
scheduling system with an intuitive interface to build robust workflows
that keep business processes moving forward under any conceivable
conditions. By scheduling recurring workflows and configuring precise
exceptions and escalations, users can ensure their most critical tasks
will be completed on time, every time.
Demand Solutions’ workflow technology runs on a highly reliable
Microsoft workflow engine – much in keeping with the Microsoft
technology stack on which Demand Solutions DSX is built. The entire
solution has been certified as Microsoft Platform Ready.
“By offering robust workflow capabilities based on industry-leading
technology, we allow companies to build discipline into their business
processes—a critical priority in an age of razor-thin margins and
accelerated timelines,” says Harrison. “Codifying processes within a
workflow system also makes it easier to transfer knowledge to new
employees as the Baby Boomers continue to leave the workforce. As
companies everywhere continue to run complex business processes with
multiple dependencies, we encourage them to explore what our workflow
capabilities can offer.”
