Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, in a conventional information processing system, when a user uses a plurality of business applications, the same workflow functions are redundantly incorporated into each of the business applications, increasing the man-hours required for development and maintenance.

[0006] In addition, when the information processing system is incorporated into each of a plurality of business applications, for the approver, it is troublesome to open each of the information processing systems in order to approve the application form. Also, when an application is made by the applicant in each of the information processing systems, it is difficult to notice that an application has been made, raising concerns about approval omissions. Also, for the applicant, if there is an omission in the approval of the application form, it takes time and effort to prompt the approver for approval, and it takes time to obtain approvals from all approvers.

[0007] Therefore, an embodiment of the present invention aims to provide an information processing system, an information processing method, and an information processing program that can be developed and maintained with fewer man-hours and are less likely to cause approval omissions by approvers and manage workflows.
