12. Workflow
Workflows in SharePoint Server enable enterprises to reduce the
amount of unnecessary interactions between people as they perform
business processes.
For example, to reach a decision, groups typically follow a series of
steps.
The steps can be a formal, standard operating procedure, or an
informal implicitly understood way to operate. Collectively, the steps
represent a business process.
The number of human interactions that occur in business processes
can inhibit speed and the quality of decisions. Software that simplifies
and manages this "human workflow" enables the automation of
interactions among groups who participate in the process. This
automation results in more speed, overall effectiveness of the
interactions, and often a reduction in errors.
13. Workflow - Benefits
The primary benefits of using workflows are to facilitate business processes and
improve collaboration.

organization who must approve or reject it.

experts, resolved, and added to a knowledge base.

using. And this isn't just a read-only feed; you can also rate, tag,
collaborate, and so on, all from within Outlook.
