Case Study
Approval WorkflowAs we have learnt e-Forms tool from SugarCRM,
we apply this concept to other system which need approval
workflow.
Problem: need a e-Form to send a approved data from branch to
head quarter to replace the manual process.
We use configed SugarCRM e-Forms tool to make a simple approval
workflow then interface this data to our Lotus Notes.

to 2 hours.
We use only 1 staff (me) to implement this system in 1
month.
