WorkflowXtender

WorkFlowXtender makes your business more effective, efficient, and responsive by automating the flow of documents and information through your organization. WorkFlowXtender helps you define how work needs to be processed, in what order the processing must take place, to whom the work should be sent, and under what conditions.

The Process Manager is the centralized management and administrative component of WorkFlowXtender. Through its easy-to-use graphical interface, the Process Manager allows you to monitor, administer, control, and track performance metrics for all your process management applications. The Process Manager is a server-based, work coordination engine that provides centralized control of all elements in your automated business process. With all process management services concentrated at the server, the need for intelligence in each end-user workflow application is eliminated.

The Process Builder is the design and development component of WorkFlowXtender's business process automation software. Through intuitive, adaptable process mapping software and a set of powerful client/server development tools, the Process Builder enables you to rapidly design, analyze, develop, and - as business conditions change - enhance the business process applications that support your strategic business objectives.

The first step in generating a WorkFlowXtender application is to create a process map - a graphical model of the business process - using the Process Builder. These maps represent how work gets done, how long it takes, and who is involved at each stage. The map is used to define and analyze business process models. The completed process map drives the application development. GUI-assisted tools and a fully supported Microsoft Visual Basic syntax-compatible scripting language help you create workflow applications.

An open system architecture including a published set of APIs, true-object orientation, process components, and agent performers make Process Builder a powerful tool for developing robust client/server work management solutions.
