Workflow Central

Inspired by the OSSAD workflow methodology and based on years of workflow development with multinational companies, this all-in-one template is designed for Lotus Notes developers looking to implement Business Process Control (BPC) solutions. All aspects of a given process (states, routing rules, delay triggers, etc.) are defined via easily configurable documents which can be created directly in Lotus Notes or imported via Excel. There are no “black boxes” to deal with, giving you complete visibility and direct control over every aspect of your process.

Why spend hours graphically drawing a process only to waste days modifying the generated code for cases “outside the box”?

Why spend significant sums on competing products when Workflow Central can be purchased for just a fraction of the price?

BENEFITS

• State Constraints. Define who can intervene based on roles and/or fields (containing user names). These definitions can even include requiring all users of a given role or field to intervene (inclusive operation) and/or requiring at least one user from multiple roles or fields to intervene (parallel operation).
  
  
• Routing Conditions. Route documents based on manual user selections and/or automatic rules (@Formula). Documents can also be routed based on delay triggers.
  
  
• Workflow Actions. Send personalized emails, launch agents and update document fields based on document state changes.
  
  
• Reference Allocation. Automatically assign unique and sequential references to documents.
  
  
• Counters / Delays. Automatically send emails and/or update document fields when a trigger is activated or deactivated.
  
  
• User Delegation. Users can designate replacements (while away from the office, for example). Control is automatically returned to the original users after the designated period.
  
  
• Intervention History. Automatic recording of each intervention (with text you can predefine) – along with the number of days recorded for each step in the process.
  
  
• Version Control. Migrate easily from one workflow version to another. All existing documents adhere to the previous process while new documents follow the new workflow.
  
  
• Multi-lingual end-user environment. Change languages with the click of a button.
  
  
• Multi-date format. Force all dates to appear in a specific format (American or European) - regardless of the date parameters set on user’s PCs.
  
  
• Rich Test Environment. Simulate the passing of time via built-in agents to test your workflow definitions. Variable logging levels allow you to monitor every aspect of the workflow process.
  
  
• Powerful Script Libraries. A large collection of powerful routines will help you to streamline your application development process.

Testimonials

The workflow applications developed by Walsman & Associates have allowed us to greatly reduce the time to handle requests, to increase our control and visibility, and to seamlessly intervene in processes wherever our people are located.

To cite one example, our purchasing application – which complements our SAP platform - has reduced the time to treat a request from 3 weeks to just a few days. Combined with the reports we generate from exported data to Excel, we now have excellent visibility into where our costs are - and how to react to them. The resulting savings paid for this solution in less than 6 months.

Porting earlier versions of our applications from another workflow motor to Workflow Central has provided us with a number of benefits. The versioning system greatly facilitated evolving the workflow process over time. There were also a number of cases which could not be handled in the previous workflow motor.

Walsman & Associates have repeatedly demonstrated a high degree of competence in transforming our business requirements into operational solutions. They have also provided us consistently outstanding support and have fostered a spirit of genuine collaboration and transparency between our two companies.
