An innovative biopharmaceutical organization that Imaginet had previously helped with a SharePoint Online build wanted to automate workflows that were causing a lot of back-and-forth communication and delays in their approval process.

Optimized Accounts Payable Workflow Increases Efficiency and Organization 

by

A global provider of learning and development solutions for applications engaged Imaginet to create a SharePoint Online site to track and organize invoices for their organization.
