Today, Microsoft e-form technologies addresses the processes and workflows.

Reports, A/R, A/P, Expense Handling, New Hire Application, Journal Entries, Timesheet Entry, etc.

10. Document Capture –AX Integration
Paper-based document management can be a significant expense for enterprises. Searching through paper
files is time consuming and there’s always the risk that information may be misfiled or lost. What’s more,
the costs of storing and distributing paper documents can be excessive.
SharePoint has the ability to be a high-volume,
production-level capture system designed to eliminate
these problems. It can gather documents from end
users in your corporate headquarters and branch offices
and easily scan and index documents, then store them
in the appropriate SharePoint repository in TIFF, PDF
and XPS file formats.
