ProzessWare Brings Work Flow to the Web

Volker Weber

Lotus Notes and the Domino Web server provide the essential services that let developers build Web-enabled work-flow applications. However, the tools lack a graphical development environment that lets developers separate process flow and application logic. This is critical because business rules and responsibilities in an organization change over time. ProzessWare lets you configure roles and routing logic without having to modify the application's structure.

ProzessWare includes a graphical map builder with rule-based routing, reusable activity and subflow templates, deadlines, agent tasks, and a flexible concept of role administration. This native Lotus Notes application organizes all work- flow e lements in four Notes databases: Application, Organization Directory, Process Definition, and Design Repository.

With ProzessWare, you don't need to stick to structured work flows. You can handle messaging-oriented, ad hoc work flows, and you can base the process flow on e-mail or replication.

A Domino server running the current version of the ProzessWare work-flow engine lets users launch a work item and track the status of a process from any Web browser. The next version of ProzessWare, scheduled for release later this year, will be completely Web-ready. A Web browser will then qualify as a full work-flow client.
