The information storage was inconsistent and fractured among departments, leading to inefficiencies in operations. The lack of a clear and consistent process and data workflows further compounded the problem.

ATS partnered with Abel Solutions to create a centralized repository for information storage and exchange. They adopted SharePoint 2013 with Nintex Advanced Workflow and Modern Forms to create a more efficient and unified system. This system was used for managing project, job, employee, and even prospect and client information. The solution provided a robust document creation, editing, and management system where workflows dramatically increased the consistency of data storage and access to information. Nintex automated digital workflows played a pivotal role in this transformation.
