No matter who builds it, why they build it, how they build it, or for whom they build it, every application of any worth eventually (sometimes immediately) crosses a line. It becomes important to people beyond its original audience. And when that happens, it can longer afford to be “quick and dirty.”

Treating every workflow like an enterprise solution starts with addressing security, scalability, usability, and accountability from the start instead of getting around to them later on (often after a mistake is made). But most importantly, it requires looking beyond the tactical automation task at hand and focusing on the strategic process it serves. Design choices made in locally-scoped, citizen developed vacuums can be a source of great headaches or great utility — depending on mindset.

We’ve got principles, real-world examples, and recommendations to share, and we hope you’ll join us.

Join Vineet Mehra, General Manager, Product Head and Global Process Owner of Order to Cash at Maersk, as he reveals how the team automated roughly 8000 credit requests per month, reducing approval times and improving data visibility.

• Automating workflow internally: collaboration between solution architects, business owners and data analysts
