"In this issue of the Technology Forecast, we examine the yin yang of structured or repeatable work processes and versatile or variable human processes. Most large enterprises have spent much of the past 15 years implementing business infrastructures focused on standardized processes supported by modern enterprise applications. The words roll off the tongue so easily that we often forget that for most large enterprises, these highly standardized, repeatable, and automated processes represent a fraction of what really happens in the business. For every "yang" in the business, there are probably two "yins"—the more variable, responsive, creative, analytic, and insightful activities that heavily rely on the versatility of employees’ efforts."

Through a single administrative interface, the Merit workforce can be provisioned and de-provisioned through Active Directory to internal and SaaS-based applications with policy-based access rights and more quickly navigate between documents and applications through Google, the e-learning application, and apps inside the Merit data center.
