20201012-PR-en-v122-onedrive-integration.pdf

Kyoto, Japan, October 12th, 2020, Questetra, Inc., the global SaaS provider of Business Process Management (BPM) today announced that they have published the new version 12.2 of the Cloud-based Workflow product “Questetra BPM Suite” on Oct. 12th, 2020. This new version 12.2 allows building a mechanism that automatically uploads files for business use to Microsoft OneDrive with standard functions.

Home-based remote working is rapidly becoming widespread during the COVID-19 quarantine and work style reforms. Along with that, the use of cloud storage (online storage), which allows files to be shared and managed safely, is expanding.

So far, Questetra BPM Suite has been providing automatic processing features for connecting with the cloud storage services Google Drive and Box to upload files or to create folders, etc. Starting with the new version, it will also be possible to incorporate automated processing to do the same with Microsoft OneDrive.

For example, if you are doing market research, the final checked Research Report will be automatically uploaded to a folder in the Microsoft OneDrive. You can improve efficiency and prevent mistakes such as forgetting to upload or uploading to a wrong folder, in comparison with uploading manually.
