The “Anywhere” Workplace
   Before: Information Workers traveled to their workplace

                             at the airport
                                              while traveling
        in the hotel                                                  in the office


at the                                                                                 at home
Internet Cafe

                         Now: The workplace is wherever Information Workers are

   By 2007 “telework” will be practiced by more than 60 million people*


   More than 66 percent of works will use mobile and wireless solutions*

So what does this mean?
e-forms –AX Data Automation
 In the past, most ERP systems often ignored processes and workflow and focused on data entry.
 Today, Microsoft e-form technologies addresses the processes and workflows.




       Create PO                 Approve and comment




    InfoPath, Workflow,                                       AX automation

       Libraries, Lists

InterDyn provides a quick start single e-form engagement. Forms include: Requisition, Expense
Reports, A/R, A/P, Expense Handling, New Hire Application, Journal Entries, Timesheet Entry, etc.
Document Capture –AX Integration
Paper-based document management can be a significant expense for enterprises. Searching through paper
files is time consuming and there’s always the risk that information may be misfiled or lost. What’s more,
the costs of storing and distributing paper documents can be excessive.




                                                   SharePoint has the ability to be a high-volume,
                                                   production-level capture system designed to eliminate
                                                   these problems. It can gather documents from end
                                                   users in your corporate headquarters and branch offices
                                                   and easily scan and index documents, then store them
                                                   in the appropriate SharePoint repository in TIFF, PDF
                                                   and XPS file formats.
