The company's success today depends more and more on the efficiency of business processes. This regards both the cooperation with partners and customers as well as internal administrative processes. To gain the necessary improvements in efficiency, solutions for workflow management support today the flexible control and administration of business processes.

Although the objectives of business process automation are completely integrated and automated processes, the interaction of employees is needed and wanted at most diverse process steps. Especially concerning releases and clearances or complex processing steps, the responsible employees have to be involved, too. Furthermore, not any process logic can be automated with economically justifiable efforts.
