	Bizflow 2000 (Handysoft) is a flexible workflow engine that provides well designed graphical definition tool associated to a form definition tool BizForm. BizFlow 2000 has a comprehensive WEB based interface as well as a client/server interface based on ActiveX objects. The activity interface is generated from the information given at process definition level, together with applications in the form of documents that can contain scripts to access process context. It has a fair organization model and set of dispatching rule. Flexible process definition Dynamic changes capabilities Low cost application definition through forms and interpreted interface Large deployment of administrative and light production applications over Internet
	COSA Workflow (COSA Solutions) joins a powerful organization model featuring multiple group hierarchies to a Petri net formalism to describe the procedure. A distributed engine handles case migration. COSA offers an HTML worklist handler and Lotus Notes integration. Activities can be scripted or programmed through a comprehensive API. COSA Workflow was selected by Baan in 1999 as the standard workflow product integrated into its ERP product. Complex organization with Units, Groups, Projects, and many roles Complex or very complex procedures with many parallel paths Powerful time control mechanisms using calendars Reasonable throughput requirements
	DOLPHIN (Fujitsu) is an ad-hoc engine proposing directly to end-users instant define and run workflow applications. It is a Microsoft client using a simplified TeamWARE Flow server. DOLPHIN enables end-users to browse the worklist, define procedures and execute activities within the same window. A procedure is defined by an ordered check-list of activities exactly as deigning an action plan, and forms are defined using Microsoft Word. A wizard eases conditions definition when needed. ad-hoc procedures defined, installed and started instantly procedure definition that can change while running simple workflow directly in the hands of end users in the Microsoft environment.
	Eastman Software Enterprise Workflow, is a highly scalable workflow solution for imaging. It offers a form-based development environment with integration tools for transaction processing, imaging, and OCR/ICR. It reveals linear scalability up to dozens of servers per domain, and supports multi-domain operation. A graphical scripting tool enables activities development at low cost. Exchange and Windows NT integration level reflects years of Eastman/Microsoft relationship. Windows NT intensive production workflow With imaging tightly integrated Large number of participants, distributed, some working at home Easy activity implementation and application integration
	InTempo (JetForm) workflow enactment is based on Mail/Web-based activity delivery with no client/server permanent relationship resulting into easy enterprise wide deployment. Developments of activities is based on the market leader JetForm FormFlow 99 XML based forms definition tools. With a very easy to use and deploy engine, InTempo offers flexible dispatching rules, calendar based time computation, at minimum total cost of ownership. Enterprise-wide administrative applications deployment at minimal TCO Large number of potential participants Very low development/deployment costs Email and Web based work items delivery
	MQ/Series Workflow (IBM) with a true object-oriented design, offers a high level of re-usability. MQ Series Workflow concentrates on procedure management and powerful organization modeling while leaving activity implementation to the programmer. It is tightly integrated with Lotus Notes. Workflow engine can directly co-operate with applications and other workflow engines through XML encoded MQSeries messages. Robust, complex production workflow with applications integration. Procedure independence relative to organization changes Large number of different procedures and activities with re-usability Activities are complex and must be programmed to fit requirements
	SERfloware (SER) offers production workflow class features with a good organization model. It features advanced development environments including Java and CORBA-compliant interfaces. It incorporates powerful document handling features particularly well suited to administration and government applications. Distribution mechanisms enable large deployments in geographically dispersed organizations. Large deployment of document based production applications Integration using advanced Java and CORBA technologies Advanced case search capabilities Complex processes with multiple sub-processes
	Staffware (Staffware Corp.) offers a good balance between production and administrative workflow requirements while delivering very high production throughput. Activity implementation uses form definition and a scripting language that can be deployed on Windows, and JAVA clients. Staffware provides an interface to major EAI middleware suites. It supports distributed configurations and handles activities delivery in Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange environments. An OO development toolkit offers a powerful RAD integration environment. A true production workflow with excellent administrative capabilities Comprehensive set of features covering most requirements Low development cost in prototyping mode, and for usual administrative procedures. Interface to EAI tools and high throughput for high end production workflow.
	TeamWARE Flow (Fujitsu) offers outstanding dynamic capabilities with procedures implemented on the spot that can start running while still incomplete. The procedure definition can be completed and modified while the process is in progress. It uses facilities of the TeamWARE groupware environment as well as Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange for electronic mail, document management, and user identification. Its companion entry product Dolphin is the perfect example of an ad-hoc workflow proposing instant define and run workflow capabilities directly to end-users. A product of choice when dynamic changes are important A good engine for collaborative applications with very low development costs Throughput and development tools for medium load production applications Easy deployment via the Internet, Lotus Notes, and Exchange An innovative entry level ad-hoc product with Dolphin: install and run instantly. Integrated forms definition tools, and ActiveX for customized applications.
	TIB/InConcert (TIBCO) integrates object-oriented technology, document management, and a process model enabling users to quickly build and tailor workflow. Users can modify process instances on-the-fly as exceptions and changes might require. It offers easy definition of procedures that can be deployed through client/server, Java and HTML-based clients. It supports integration with a clean OO API offered in C, C++, OLE, and Java. InConcert is tightly integrated with the TIBCO EAI infrastructure from which it gets messaging based applications integration capabilities. A product of choice for dynamic changes in a production application A well architectured engine with clean Object Oriented API Extensive event mechanisms to handle exceptions. Robust Rules engine Business templates and integration software for telecom operators, high-tech manufacturing, and B2B e-commerce.
	Visual and Panagon Workflo Workflo (FileNet) are object-oriented evolutions of the first workflow product ever developed: Workflo from FileNET. It is a production workflow with an API to build tailored worklist handlers and activities. The process definition process is object-oriented. It provides class hierarchies with inheritance, facilitating the definition of process variations with simpler diagrams. Visual Workflo’s strengths are its object-oriented process definition, the scalability of its distributed server and the power of its programming and development tools. ActiveX objects enable RAD developments and application integration. Java-enabled development of Internet applications that are server and/or browser hosted. On top of that engine, a completely new set of features were built to be integrated with Panagon document management system and replace the previous ad-hoc Filenet product Ensemble. This provides a subset of the Visual Workflo capabilities with a completely ready to use WEB based user interface, and a new end user oriented process definition tools. Visual Workflo High throughput and scalability for production workflow applications Powerful object-oriented procedure definition tool for complex procedures Activities are complex and must be programmed (with RAD tools) to fit requirements A product for large projects with a development expertise Panagon Workflo Ad-hoc workflow applications defined by end users Integration of Panagon document management All Web-based from process definition to administration Automatic generation of web based interfaces.
