June 23, 2011 - WorkFlo! for Lotus Notes Webcast Adding Workflow Options to Your Lotus Application Lotus Notes is known as a workflow platform. Surprisingly, it does not include workflow engine that you can easily add to your custom applications. As a result, developers typically create custom routines for each application that requires workflow functionality. This situation leads to increased support costs, as developers must take the time to understand each custom workflow process first before enhancing or fixing it. Workflo!, from Workflo Systems Inc., provides these and more options to handle all of your workflow process needs. Best of all, it can be added to any Notes application in a matter of minutes. Even better, the product is very reasonably priced. This demonstration that will show you how easy it is to add Workflo! to a typical Notes client application. We will also show how Workflo! may be enhanced for web client and smart phone users.
