UPM was the first system to include workflow and document management from the design stage, helping to remove paper from the workplace and allowing immediate electronic access to files and data. Case studies have shown productivity improvements of up to 30% with the introduction of these technologies. UPM has integral workflow and document management which caters for documents and processes relating to the schemes, employers and pay locations in addition to the person and member data.
