What You Need to

Know and Do


What You Need to Know and DoDo Your Work (Instead of Looking for It)

• Stop searching for

your work.

• Work smarter by letting

the system aggregate

relevant information

and deliver it to you.

14


What You Need to Know and DoDo Your Work (Instead of Looking for It) | Example: Purchasing Overview


All your requisition lines,

orders, and agreements

requiring action organized in

one central place.

Your attention is drawn

to items requiring

attention with a

consistent set of icons.

Your time is freed to

complete your work, not

perform disjointed queries

looking for what needs

done


What You Need to Know and DoWorklist and Watchlist

• Fusion Worklist: what you

need to do, presented in a

unified queue.

• Fusion Watchlist: what you

need to know – the saved

searches you choose to

keep your eye one.

15


Worklist and Watchlist ExampleFusion Welcome Page

Welcome page content

can be personalized.

The Watchlist displays

your saved searches

that are seeded or

personalized.

Drill directly into an item

to go to that work area.

Take quick action,

such as to approve a

requisition, directly

from the Worklist

The Worklist displays

your pending

notifications and

approvals.



“With Fusion Procurement, I think the most

impressive thing I've seen is the ability to bring

together all the information a user would need at any

one time. It's the contextual information. It's the online

help. And it's all there instantly at the exact point a

user needs it.”

Stephen Smith

Senior Consultant,

CapGemini

Streamline Your WorkReduce work time & improve user adoption

• Work flows smoothly and quickly because Fusion was designed

by learning how users really work.

• The increased productivity with the streamlined Fusion designs

is actually measurable using an industry standard method

Streamline Your WorkStreamlined Flows | Example: Submit a Requisition (Fusion Design)


Complete and submit

single page.

Complete and submit

your requisition with a

checkout process

smartly laid out in a

single page.

See a complete picture

of your requisition in one

place, with analytics to

predict fulfillment time.



“My immediate impression of Fusion is that it

certainly introduces a much more streamlined user

interface feel, more consistent throughout the

application than what we've seen previously.

Jeff Jones

Senior IT Manager,

Qualcomm

“From a user's perspective, I can transition

between applications very quickly without

having to relearn the applications, which has

been a phenomenal improvement from

where we're at M.”

Brad Raque

Corporate Procurement,

Humana
