Workflow

Workflow is the coordination of Processes their Activities (Proctivities) and associated Tasks performed to initiate, process, and complete work in a time (temporal) and data (information) sequence. What is captured as such defines what may then be managed, tracked, analyzed, simulated, and expanded upon. Capturing this information provides understanding of work as it moves; the organizational boundaries and responsibilities, input and output artifacts, and resource requirements, thus enabling the automation of tasks and monitoring the metrics of flow.

• Capture
Your work processes and activities are systematically modeled in the Workflow Designer, driven by the business rules, group responsibilities, events, and actions (Requirements Capture)
• Simulate
Critical decision paths and probabilistic outcomes are determined along with comparative resource allocations using the Workflow Simulator
• Implement
Put into service the activities defined of the entire flow or only localized activities of immediate concerns. With the addition and refinement of activities at a broader level in a manner that enhances the management over workflow as dictated by business objectives.
• Execute
Carry out the implementation by requests to the Workflow Execution Engine.
• Analyze
Every step of the way; review the workflow from each perspective. Each view of the defined workflow provide valuable information and feebback at the overall macro-level as well as focused insight at the micro/tactical level.

Understand and manage the documented flow of information and activities
- Formalize and own the processes that deliver business results
- Eliminate redundant tasks or unnecessary work
- Deliver and report on operating or service status
- Focus on data and information delivery for timely and informed decisions
The flexibility a workflow architecture provides is the dynamic addition, modification or removal of processes, activities and tasks as a business evolves, matures and goes through natural cycles, all the while leaving a trail of processes and decisions pointing to the current working environment.
