Workflow Central
Inspired by the OSSAD methodology, Workflow Central is an all-in-one template designed for Lotus Notes developers looking to implement Business Process Management (BPM) solutions. All aspects of a process are defined in “state” documents that you create and modify. Routing rules, email notifications, field updates and the like are defined in these documents. With our Workflow Central Developer’s Guide, sample applications and accompanying training videos, any Lotus Notes developer can be creating workflow applications in hours.
- Define who can intervene based on roles and/or field values.
- Route documents based on user selections, conditions and/or time triggers.
- Send personalized emails, launch agents and update fields based on document state changes.
- Automatically assign unique and sequential references.
- Send emails and/or update fields based on time-triggered events.
- Delegate responsibilities when users are “out of the office”.
- Record automatically each intervention along with the number of days passed at that step.
- Migrate easily from one workflow version to another.
- Change languages with the click of a button.
- Monitor every aspect of the process via built-in logging features.
- Why spend weeks developing workflow applications “from scratch” when you can express processes easily in hours with Workflow Central?
- Why spend hours graphically drawing a process only to waste days (or weeks) modifying the generated code for cases “outside the box”?
- Why spend time acquiring new programming skills when Workflow Central only requires skills that your Lotus Notes developers already possess?
- Why spend effort configuring complicated products when Workflow Central is an all-in-one database (design elements and documents) which form part of your Lotus Notes application?
- Why spend money on competing products when Workflow Central can be purchased for just a fraction of the price?
All businesses need to systematize and continually refine their processes. The ability to do so easily dramatically increases the quality of service rendered to your user community and end customers.
- Efficiency. Reduce enormously the time to handle a dossier.
- Visibility. Identify instantly where any dossier is in a given process.
- Security. Assure the integrity and confidentiality of all your critical information.
End user satisfaction with the IBM Lotus Notes platform significantly increases for companies who have developed BPM applications using Workflow Central. Even non IBM customers have migrated their existing messaging systems to Lotus in order to take advantage of all the benefits that Workflow Central provides. Our company slogan is: "Transforming Corporate Culture". We are proud to say that this has become a reality for many of our customers. Workflow Central can help make it a reality for your company as well.

These demonstration videos accompany our developer’s guide but can be easily followed independently. Videos are presented sequentially and systematically build in complexity.
- Document Routing. These videos demonstrate the various ways in which documents can be routed (i.e., change states) from one user to another in a given process / workflow.
- Constraints. These videos demonstrate the various ways in which you can dictate who can intervene in a workflow document at any given time (i.e., in any given document state).
- Customization. These videos demonstrate some of the ways you can customize the workflow application including: sending email notifications, updating document fields, changing how current participants are displayed in a view, etc.
- Advanced Topics. These videos touch on more advanced topics including: defining time-triggered events, launching agents, creating virtual states, etc.
