Challenges in the traditional Approval Process:
During this journey of SAP digital transformations, it is crucial to stay on track with the project milestones. Unfortunately, many organizations face challenges in doing so. Project delays not only increase costs but also leave stakeholders dissatisfied. A significant obstacle contributing to these delays is the time-consuming and inefficient approval process in project management. These approval processes include the following hurdles:
Time-Consuming Manual Steps: Manual steps in the approval process led to frustrating delays, causing projects to languish in the pipeline.
Risk of Errors and Inaccuracies: The manual nature of these processes introduces the peril of human error, compromising the integrity and reliability of projects.
Document Management: Disorganized document management becomes an obstacle, creating bottlenecks in the approval workflow.
Limited Collaboration: Traditional methods often hinder effective communication and collaboration among stakeholders, resulting in gaps in understanding and operational inefficiencies.
