How Konica Minolta is Using Our Own Technology to Transform Day-to-Day Operations - Part 2

Konica Minolta's Solutions Engineering Center (SEC) built Dispatcher Stratus to help organizations transform traditional business processes into automated human-in-the-loop workflows. What is the best way to ensure that other organizations can benefit from this technology? Implement it in our own business to streamline workflows!

Release Notification and Management

Releasing new features or enhancements for a product requires a variety of internal approvals and both internal and external notifications. To help facilitate the process of capturing approvals, Dispatcher Stratus is configured to send a drafted release bulletin to internal management contacts for review and signatures. Once the release bulletin has been signed, it is converted to a PDF and renamed to our standard convention. When this process has been completed, internal contacts including executive management are notified. At this point, an additional approval step is required to approve the distribution of the release notice to relevant stakeholders.

Benefits

The Release Notification and Management workflow provides an automated review process that streamlines the internal review and signature process while also completely automating the distribution of external notifications.

This workflow simplifies and consolidates several important aspects of the review process, including:

• Digitizing the internal review and signature process with Dispatcher Stratus forms.
• Standardizing document naming for long-term archival and future retrieval.
• Triggering final internal and external notifications automatically once executive approval has been completed.
• Completely automating the distribution of external notifications.

By using Dispatcher Stratus to automate this process, we can ensure that the business's best practices and requirements are followed, allowing people to focus less on how things happen and more on positive outcomes.

Conclusion

The Dispatcher Stratus Platform is designed for anytime/anywhere access to support automating both centralized and distributed business processes. The solution provides scalable, flexible, and reliable solutions for businesses, including Konica Minolta, who are looking for ways to further streamline core and ad-hoc business processes.
