In the webinar, I summarize the business process challenges we all face, identify the forgotten layer of content management in our organizations, explain how I built a successful SharePoint automation practice with an annual ROI of $550,000+ and provide a roadmap to get you started on your business automation journey. You’ll learn how to design solutions for voluntary and involuntary users, how to find that ever-important first project and how to effectively gather requirements for your new business automation solutions.

Session abstract:

Are you caught in an infinite loop of overgrown, outdated processes? Are your end-users stuck in a rut, copying data between an endless string of Excel spreadsheets? If so, this is the conference session for you! We’ll explore common process engineering methodologies, outline the “universal truths” that will help you relate to your business users and expose the “forgotten layer of content management” that exists at most organizations.
