Workflow - How to Avoid Unwanted Breakpoints

Patrick Bolan, President, Avanti

Chris Leduc, Duke Printing

  • A Breakpoint is defined as a point in the software where the data, having been entered once, is re-entered into another module or part of the software
  • Breakpoints are costly! You often have 2 or 3 or 4 times the labor required
  • Breakpoints lead to inaccuracy, cause errors, and result in lost productivity

In this session we will review the key integration points of the Avanti Classic modules.We will discuss how to eliminate breakpoints in the workflow and ensure your setup of Avanti is fully integrated. Chris will provide real world examples of a fully integrated system at Duke and describe the work involved to accomplish a touchless workflow.
