3. o Business Operations and Back Office must grow
together.
o There is no map to the back office. It is difficult to
know what is this?, where does this go? and
where can I find information in both the Physical
and Digital business workspace.
o Information is maintained in forms and files that do
not share information. Manual entry, reporting
and review is slow.
o Technology alone is not the answer. Technology
is a tool to enable the solution resident in your
model if you have one.
