The client relied on fragmented and manually managed Delegation of Authority (DoA) processes spread across departments and regions. The absence of a centralized workflow system created operational inefficiencies and governance challenges.
- Manual and inconsistent approval workflows across departments
- Difficulty managing dynamic approval hierarchies across regions and business units
- Limited visibility into approval stages and authority mappings
- Delays caused by manual routing and stakeholder dependency
- Scalability challenges across hundreds of operational sites globally
