Rapid eSolutions for Transforming Business Process
Not all eSolutions require a large investment and a lengthy deployment process, unlike Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems or Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems. Northrop Grumman recognizes a family of eSolutions that benefit from the opportunity for rapid deployment. These solutions are typical of a variety of business processes that share similar requirements for:
- Electronic forms or documents that initiate a business process
- Online processes to track work and deliver items to appropriate individuals
- Electronic agents to perform work automatically
- Access to existing applications to retrieve and update information
- Metrics to monitor both status and productivity
Northrop Grumman’s Rapid eSolutions go beyond point solutions adding web interfaces to existing applications. Rapid eSolutions bridge departments and functions providing true business process integration. This provides the opportunity to modernize the process and transform the way work is accomplished. Paper is eliminated, bottlenecks are removed, and errors are reduced. Rapid eSolutions provide additional value by automating the interaction between departments and even organizations, coordinating human-to-human interactions and automating information exchange.
Consider the following enterprise activities
