  4. World’s workflow pulse • Google.com (November 2005) • 58.400.000 sites in general • 35.800.000 WF SW • 21.200.000 WF APP. • Gartner Group • 888 WF articles • Amazon.com • 6.730 books about BPM • Google.com (June 2004) • 3.120.000 sites in general • 2.200.000 WF SW • 1.700.000 WF APP. • Gartner Group • 200 WF articles • Amazon.com • 2.781 books about BPM

  5. Why Workflow? • Because we need to simplify an already complex world!

  6. Complex? In my time things were much simpler: text interface + one DBMS = done! Multiple user-interface devices: Web, mobile devices, win Business Processes to Control Complex User Interface:web, javascript, Ajax Web Services Multiple-layers

  7. So, what’s the trick? Take complexity out!Give it to somebody else as we did with: Database to DBMS DB design to GeneXus Repetitive tasks to Patterns

  8. GXflow Added-value • Focus in the Business Process • More efficient business processes • Auditing and operations control • Less programming • Integrated to GeneXus

  9. Focus in the business process • Clear vision of the process • Better understanding of the business • Standardization • Better system documentation

  11. Auditing and operations control • Traceability of all steps • Management • Access control • Deadlines

  12. Less programming • Eliminates the code associated to control the status and flow of the business process in our programs • Automatic task routing following the business rules • Simplifies the changes in the process (Less cost and time) • Eliminates the need to develop auditing and management programs

  13. Changing in GXPM Changing in our program Making changes in a business process
