A workflow is the process by which a file, business operation, or transaction undergoes in the course of everyday business; and sometimes not so everyday. A workflow can be as simple as requiring a manager to review and approve a document, or as complex as a multi-node conditional sequence with event handlers. SharePoint products and technologies provide scalable and robust workflow solutions for enterprise organizations. With the release of the 2007 product line, both SharePoint Services 3.0 and SharePoint Portal Server 2007 support the Windows Workflow Foundation and provide innovative workflow solutions.

Portalogiks provides process engineering to organizations to manifest physical process into virtual environments to create productivity and efficiency. We work with your organization to either establish formalized processes, or take an existing process and orchestrate it through a platform such as SharePoint for participants to collaborate with.

How Can Workflows Help My Organization?

In an organization, inefficiency in business processes are not in the execution by the individual, rather in the time between steps in the sequence. How long does it take to get signatures from a group, collect feedback, or facilitate a return transaction? Those minutes and hours create lags and latency in business process. By placing a workflow process in a virtual environment the time between nodes of a process can be reduced from days to milliseconds. Stewards of the next step are notified, take ownership, and execute without waiting for a physical activity to occur.
