Ultimus DPA Suite and Microsoft SharePoint Integration
Overcome Your Limitations
Microsoft SharePoint is a widely used technology, present in nearly 80% of corporate IT environments. While popular for collaboration, intranet, and document management, SharePoint has limitations in enterprise business process use cases that cause profound problems in common, real-world situations.
Ultimus Digital Process Automation Suite provides a variety of ways to overcome these limitations and leverage SharePoint’s strengths. In fact, the patented Ultimus DPA Suite is one of the most robust, feature-rich, and proven tools for creating structured and unstructured human- and document-centric process applications – applications that fulfill the most sophisticated, mission-critical, and large-scale organizational requirements.
Built-in Document Capabilities
In addition to unmatched routing, task assignment, notification, escalation, and exception handling options and features, Ultimus DPA Suite provides configurable out-of-the-box document management capabilities that handle every document-centric process need.
