Proposed Use of Sharepoint to Improve New Employee In-processing

Microsoft SharePoint is an enterprise content management system that provides a collaborative platform for end users to design, monitor and execute business processes. This paper describes a workflow design methodology that if followed, end users can construct SharePoint workflows that implement a business process. As an example, we apply our methodology to a real-world business process, showing how we develop the final SharePoint workflows. Our methodology first develops UML models for the business process at hand. From these UML models, it then generates SharePoint workflows.
