API mPOWER™ - Enabling Business Efficiency in Public and Private Sectors

BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Processing & Imaging, Inc. (API), a developer of business process automation (BPA) and document management (DM) software announces API mPower, an innovative and easy to use web-based BPA/DM platform for City/County Government, K-12 School Districts and Small/Medium Businesses (SMB).

Based on industry standard BPMN2.0 (business process model & notation), API mPower helps organizations automate and accelerate virtually any business process. Examples include sales cycle management, professional services proposals, public records requests, online utility/tax billing & payment, accounts payable/receivable, employee onboarding, expense reporting, time-off/vacation requests, contracts and benefits renewal, mobile work orders and student records management.

Integration with market-leading ERP, CRM and SIS means you can complete tasks faster, synchronize data among multiple applications and auto-populate process forms to eliminate error-prone manual data entry. Forms and documents related to processes are distributed, reviewed, approved and stored electronically to speed workflows and eliminate paper forms. To facilitate collaboration and communication, Task Owners can append notes, comments and supporting documents during the process. API mPower monitors workflow status and automatically sends email notifications, such as when tasks are assigned and deadlines require attention. To help optimize operations and increase accountability, API mPower provides a web-based Management Dashboard for real-time visibility into all processes and related tasks.

Leveraging a number of advanced technologies including HTML5, Java Script, and Bootstrap, API mPower was designed from the outset to support mobile users on a wide range of platforms.  From virtually any mobile device, mPower users can access and complete assigned tasks, view and upload process-related documents and images, and audit all work in progress – extending the benefits of mPower beyond the office walls to mobile and distributed users anywhere.

API mPower is integrated with API's OptiView™ document management system providing a complete solution for organizations to automate processes and have a secure, robust repository to eliminate the time-consuming, costly and risky process of storing, retrieving, copying, printing, distributing and archiving paper reports and documents.
