Automate Workflow To Maximize Productivity

Have you ever placed an important document on your desk only to have it mysteriously disappear among the clutter? It seems like our workstations can often turn into black holes where information gets sucked in and never comes out. Even for companies with the most organized paper processes, the physical act of shuffling paper from employee to employee is one wrought with potential pitfalls.
