Our customer, one of the world’s leading procurement consultants, provides a SaaS-based procurement software to organizations. The approval process, designed with Windows Workflow Foundation and built into the software offering, was one of its key functionalities.
However, it was inundated with complexity, errors, and lack of support, which resulted in delays. Embee migrated the approval process to Logic Apps and improved process performance, flexibility, and eliminated processing barriers with serverless computing.
Our Customer’s Challenges
Built on Windows Workflow Foundation, the approval process on SaaS-application was affecting the success of the customer’s solution due to several reasons, including: –

Our Solution
- Implementation of Azure Logic Apps and accompanying technologies, including Azure Functions, Azure Service Bus and Operations Management Suite (OMS) to fasten the approval process.
