Project Engine can support virtually any kind of business workflow including both manual and automated tasks.
Manual Tasks
Manual tasks will appear in a user’s Your Task List when it is time to start or complete a task. Tasks can be assigned directly to a user or indirectly to a role.
Emails
Project Engine can send customized email notifications that include information extracted from any step in the business process.
Business processes may also be triggered from an email since Project Engine can be setup to convert emails into tasks.
Databases
Data can be extracted from any number of remotely located databases. Databases can also be updated from automated tasks in the workflow.
Files
Read or write information from/to files. Automated tasks may also wait for a file to appear and remove the file after reading the content.
Web Services
Exchange information with any HTTP web application. Project Engine may also extract information from any web page into the workflow.
Operating System Commands
Create automated tasks that launch operating system commands on any remotely connected machine (on the web). Results from the command can be used by the workflow.
Data Manipulation
Project Engine contains a scripting language with powerful features for processing text information.
You may, for example, easily create a process step that calculates the average age of all women in a matrix.
