The way it works now

  • The appointment is in one colleague's mailbox
  • Data is manually retyped from one system to another
  • The person who knows is on vacation
  • No one can see afterwards why this decision was made

  • The agreement is stored with the client, findable for everyone
  • Once entered, information flows through to the rest
  • Work continues, even if someone is absent
  • Every decision has a source, an owner, and a date
