- Identify interfaces for integration. For cloud-based workflow management it should work well with other cloud-based hosting and version controlling. For example: Integration with your accounting or ERP system, HR applications, Microsoft Word or other word processors.You may start out in one department and add additional departments at a later time..

Digital Workflows and Workflow Management.

Workflow management also specifies which processes start a workflow; for example, storing an incoming invoice or other document.
Certain deadlines or a change in the status of a document in the document management system can also start workflows, the flow of which must be planned, modeled and monitored. This task is performed by workflow management systems that control and monitor workflow management in the enterprise.
