DeloitteAlready running an Intranet, several core applications and an ERP, Deloitte wanted to optimize procedures that were still processed manually or through unstructured e-mail flows (leave applications, IT clearance applications, conference call number reservation, salary advance applications, etc). Those procedures considered individually were relatively simple ones and neither justified a custom development nor the adaptation of an existing ERP type of application. However, all those procedures together corresponded to a significant operational cost due to the manual processing time they represented. The business challenge was to automate and optimize those procedures, while complying with the existing IT infrastructure and seamlessly integrating into the Intranet Portal. |

UAP incUAP needed the ability to process the 1500 travel requests coming in yearly from their over 5000 employees across Canada. They were relying on a paper form to initiate the travel request, which was sent via internal mail to a manager for approval. This manual process was fraught with inefficiencies. Delays were being incurred using the internal mail system and often forms were getting lost before reaching their destination. Because there was no ability to track requests, there was the tendency to wait until the last minute to initiate a travel request resulting in higher ticket prices. Without approvals being enforced, some people would bypass the process entirely and call the travel agency directly to book their tickets. UAP was spending extra money and time trying to enforce a process that they had no control over. |
