What Earthwon Does

Workflow Management

Earthwon is environmental business process management. Earthwon’s workflow capabilities manage business process by enabling step-wise task completion based on a business process flowchart of work – it is NOT “form routing.”

Workflow management is about letting people know what needs to be done by whom and by when. Earthwon can assign tasks and schedule events that need to be done using a “To Do” list motif. Work steps can be completed in parallel or in serial by staff, the public, businesses or external agencies. Earthwon users input data you need collected while consistently following your business rules, thus enabling your organization to compress process cycle times and improve customer service.

In Earthwon, workflows are configured specifically to meet each client’s unique business needs and business processes. Earthwon can be thought of as a “modifiable” or “custom” build solution within a COTS platform environment that can grow and change as your business changes. You get exactly what you need for your solution, and you will never be a product departure.

All clients use the same Earthwon software but it may be configured quite differently for each. You are not limited to a pre-defined way of doing business; rather Earthwon is configured to reflect your business, your processes and your expert knowledge. As efficiencies and best practices improve, these can be configured into Earthwon, extending the life of your system and investment.

Using expert knowledge helps minimize risk by allowing staff to manage your organization’s work and data effectively and consistently. Earthwon’s metadata driven rules engine allows you to capture and build into your system the expert knowledge, business rules and best practice that exist currently within departments and then share it throughout your organization. This allows new and existing staff to benefit from the business intelligence and subject matter expertise that exists currently and helps diminish the effect of key staff departures or retirements.

Earthwon helps organizations manage finite resources and risk within a priority framework. As government and resource pools get smaller, it is important that these resources are used effectively. For example, rather than having highly paid environmental engineers processing permit applications, they can focus on ensuring standards and regulations required for the permits are maintained.
