I can see what you are doing, but I can't see how it's meaningful in this example. Headline number one, two, three OK, I get that, but I'd expect a summery of the story in the body, not the number repeated. Do you have any other material on this subject you could share? Please forgive me, I was not gifted with creativity. Thanks! Mitch,

Now lets take that to the next level. Imagine I have 5 or 10 other applications in that workflow. How do I do that? 50 or 100 steps? Eeek. Quite common and not the fault of the user (laziness) but rather lack of collaboration between the apps. Even after 30 years, most enterprise apps lack the basic capability to have their workflows automated like in the sample you give! Using products like OpenSpan, you can now truly extend the CRM workflow you describe above, to include spreading the automation over any number of applications and UI tasks. We call it Personal Workflow Management, can be done with no or little code, it's truly robust and you'll find it at OpenSpan.com. Keep up the good writing. These are key subjects to optimization that people need to understand. Mitch, I can't agree more. Now lets take that to the next level. Imagine I have 5 or 10 other applications in that workflow.
