The Newly Released Winter 2006 Update Introduces the Power of Enterprise-Wide Workstream Applications

We are pleased to announce the availability of the Winter 2006 Update of the CorasWorks Workplace Suite.  This product update delivers capabilities from our upcoming Summer 2006 release ahead of schedule in order to give customers a jump start on the creation of “workstream” applications. 

Workstream applications represent a powerful new class of enterprise-wide applications that allow organizations to define and drive the flow of information across their workplace, across departments and business functions.  This issue of the Workplace Monthly will focus on workstream applications and the features of the Winter 2006 Update that power them.

Explore the Power of Workstreams – Dive into 3 Sample Scenarios
 
In the lead newsletter article we introduced “workstreams” and the CorasWorks capabilities that drive them.  Now, let’s further explore the power that workstreams offer your organization by diving into three simple scenarios for leveraging workstream design:  
  • Sales Funnel driving Event Registrations, to Leads, to a Pipeline
  • New Hire Process
  • Web Ticket Process
For each of these scenarios, we will review how the workstream is established and how you can go hands-on with each of them in our CorasWorks Showroom.

Integrating Workstreams with Structured Workflow
 
Workflow is a very, very broad term.  Email is the most commonly used type of workflow.  From there, we move up the stack to very structured workflow.  Workstreams are a subset of workflow and serve their purpose somewhere in the middle of the workflow stack. They are loosely-coupled, end user driven, and cover scenarios where items in one data repository are used to create related, but different items in another repository. Simply, it's a definition of how information flows through a process. Think of it as a layer on top of your workplace.  Below this layer, you can have back-end structured workflow to control how work gets done at each stage of a workstream.  This article will discuss how workstreams and structured workflow work together to provide a comprehensive solution to drive business activity.
