Skelta (www.skelta.com)
today announced the availability of Skelta
Workflow.NET 2004, the next edition of its
fully embeddable and scalable .NET based workflow
engine designed for seamless integration into
applications that automate, streamline and
optimize business processes across the enterprise.
Version 2004 comes with
several new features and functionality, including
the following:
- Offers enhanced active-active load balancing.
Significantly, it's the only workflow engine
that offers native load balancing and clustering
-- not just a failover. Apart from distributing
the server load uniformly across all servers
in a cluster, this enables performance scaling
coupled with high reliability.
- Provides the flexibility to display application
data in the Activity List. Users can now
customize the Activity List by adding custom
fields for display of additional meta-data
in the Activity Lists. Also, the end users
can now personalize the Activity List to
have the custom fields defined during process
design and also specify how they would like
the lists to be filtered. In other words,
they can have more relevant data displayed
in the Activity List. Columns to be displayed
in the Activity List can be configured.
- Enables synchronization between execution
of the workflow and alerting of the actions,
providing users with a sense of continuity
when activities are acted upon sequentially.
Synchronization can be started while initiating
the workflow execution and while alerting
an action.
- Import and export of workflow definitions
is now possible. With this new feature a
workflow definition can be exported to an
XML file. The exported XML definition can
be manually edited or moved to another database.
Likewise, workflow definitions from XML
files can be imported.
- Apart from extending some of the existing
Actions to provider better functionalities,
several new Actions including those enabling
quick generation of Microsoft Word and Excel
documents during execution of workflows,
two-way email communication from within
a workflow, and invoking of any Web service
are now possible.
- Supports two-way communication from and
to workflows, through email and SMS.
Said Skelta's CEO Sanjay Shah: "Our endeavor is to constantly refine Skelta Workflow.NET Framework in the light of feedback from our existing customers coupled with our own in-house research. With the incorporation of several new features, I have no hesitation to say Skelta Workflow.NET 2004 offers clear cost-to-benefit advantages over the competition in its space. Together with the high quality but again low-cost technical support we offer, Version 2004 is good value for money for software developers/companies looking for a robust and scalable rules-based workflow engine that can integrate seamlessly into a variety of applications."
