Editor's Notes
- #2: Think about what accounting does. It moves money around.Now you can either custom program an accounting system or you can buy one. It’s much cheaper and faster to buy one. Once you have you then populate the chart of accounts to move you money around. OpsStream is the same way. It’s custom-fit automation without custom programming.With an accounting system like GP that moves money around and a operational process software like OpsStream that moves work around, the real beauty is you can keep financial transaction related work to accounting and all non-financial transaction related work to OpsStream AND communicate between the two automatically!
- #3: If you have defined the complete wok flow process through something like Visio etc. You know what needs to be done from beginning to end. It’s a nice picture but that’s all it does. OpsStream IS the workflow process. It takes your Visio diagram and makes it happen!
- #5: OpsStream brings all your applications, databases etc and raps them around with a virtual environment – Real Time! You can connect your team and based on your user level know where you are in any work process much like a P&L or BS would tell you where your money is in accounting
- #6: Generally Everyone or SpecificallyInnovative SME organizations “early adapters”Looking to do custom software for operationsHighly complicated and time sensitive operations Use Excel Spreadsheets for data/tasksUse White Boards for data/tasksEnter same data more then onceUse paperwork to be passed around a process i.e. work orders, sales orders, file foldersOrganizations looking to have less manual involvement to reduce mistakes
- #7: How is it done?OpsStreamTMis an out-of-the-box system to achieve smooth, easy to manage operations. OpsStreamTM securely absorbs all your data from Excel spreadsheets, white boards, file drawers and other isolated systems.OpsStreamTM defines the tasks to be completed Users access the information and complete their tasks while sharing it with designated users throughout the system. Picture this...everyone in any/all operational processes looking at their own screen, seeing only those tasks assigned to them, checking them off like a “to do “ list and pushing them down the operational chain to completion...REAL TIME!
- #9: Centralized operations dataEliminate dependence on spreadsheets and Access databasesSecurely grant access to appropriate partiesAutomates core operationsTells workers what needs to be doneTracks what has been doneManages all needed dataReal-time and analytical trackingReal time status of work and departmentsOperational audit trailAnalytical view of operations
