What is Workflow Automation?

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

By Charlie Wilson

The dictionary describes automation as the technique, method, or system of operating or controlling a process by highly automatic means, as by electronic devices, reducing human intervention to a minimum. If you ask people to describe what automation is, you will get many varied responses.

Henry Ford’s version of automation was revolutionary in history.  By driving the manufacturing process via the assembly line, productivity was skyrocketed, employee wages were much higher than average, and Ford became a leader in the industry.  Many advances in automation have been made since the early 1900’s.

Automation in its simplest form is all about efficiency.  By taking repetitive tasks and minimizing or eliminating those tasks, people will become more efficient increasing productivity.

At DB Technology, we specialize in Workflow Automation.  Managing a business process through a series of automated steps is Workflow Automation.  I am not speaking about Business Process re-engineering.  DB Technology will enable you to improve your existing business process by minimizing or eliminating a series of tasks that your people perform today.

John Wooden

Monday, June 7th, 2010

John Wooden and UCLA basketball will always be associated with one another.  Under Coach Wooden, UCLA had the greatest success in the history of college basketball and possibly all of sports.  His teams won the NCAA championship 10 times in 12 years, 88 games in a row, and 4 undefeated seasons.  He is inducted into the College Hall of Fame both as a player and a coach.

For all of his success in the world of basketball, he has had more impact outside of basketball.  He taught life lessons to young men that translates well into lessons for all.  His lessons on being prepared are simple yet unparalleled in their effectiveness.  Start with the fundamentals, be true to yourself, and do the right thing are some of his credo’s.

Some of my favorite quotes from Coach Wooden:

  • Be quick, but don’t hurry
  • Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

Below is the famed John Wooden Pyramid of Success.  It should be a model for all to follow.

Visiting Customers

The best part of my job is visiting our fantastic customers.  Customers are the ultimate report card and the feedback is always welcome and needed.  Listening to the creative ways that people are benefiting from RAS always warms my heart.  Document Management has evolved and people continue to amaze me with their ideas.

This week I spent my time on the West Coast speaking with customers, future customers, and software partners.  Having lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 1/3 of my life, it was good to be back on the West Coast.  Thank you to all that provided feedback during the customer forum.

Listening to your customers is an important part of any good company.  How does your market offering benefit your customers?  Where are the shortfalls?  Where is the market direction?  Without an understanding of how your customers are using your solutions, without soliciting your customers’ opinion of future requirements, and without an understanding of the overall market, you cannot build a roadmap for your company.

Go speak with your customers.  They are great.
