Workflow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 1 views

shared by Jon Cavalier on 13 Oct 08 - Cached
  • A workflow consists of a sequence of connected steps. It is a depiction of a sequence of operations, declared as work of a person, a group of persons,[1]
  • A workflow is a model to represent real work for further assessment, e.g., for describing a reliably repeatable sequence of operations. More abstractly, a workflow is a pattern of activity enabled by a systematic organization of resources, defined roles and mass, energy and information flows, into a work process that can be documented and learned.[3][4] Workflows are designed to achieve processing intents of some sort, such as physical transformation, service provision, or information processing.
  • The cultural impact of workflow optimization during this era can be understood through films such as Chaplin's classic Modern Times. These concepts did not stay confined to the shop floor. One magazine invited housewives to puzzle over the fastest way to toast three slices of bread on a one-side, two-slice grill. The book Cheaper by the Dozen introduced the emerging concepts to the context of family life.

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A workflow consists of a sequence of concatenated (connected) steps. Emphasis is on the flow paradigm, where each step follows the precedent without delay or gap and ends just before the subsequent step may begin. This concept is related to non overlapping tasks of single resources.

With PerfectForms workflow software, however, creating an integrated, standardized workflow system is much less challenging. Unlike other workflow system software on the market, PerfectForms is designed to be used by those with no technical development skills; no programming is ever required. Instead, PerfectForms employs unique point and click features and unique mapping tools so just about anyone can design any kind of workflow system or applications."

    "Like many industries, the print production workflow software market was affected by the recent economic decline. Many segments of the print production workflow market came near to a standstill during the first six months of 2009. Vendors were faced with lower demand due to market consolidation; high exit rates and bankruptcies of print service providers; as well as the postponement of investments due to the economic uncertainty, credit scarcity, and customers being in survival mode. However, the good news is the situation stabilized after the summer and sales picked up again in the third quarter, with the U.S. leading and Western Europe following according to InfoTrends' Global & North American Print Production Workflow Market Forecast: 2009-2014 and Global & Western Europe Print Production Workflow Market Forecast: 2009-2014."

How about all of the Google Docs and google type things that let you compute in "the cloud" -- also, things like timebridge let work flow around the world.

What's the Difference Between Workflow and BPM? « Workflow Blog - 0 views

  • Workflow is concerned with the application-specific sequencing of activities via predefined instruction sets, involving either or both automated procedures (software-based) and manual activities (people work)…BPM is concerned with the definition, execution and management of business processes defined independently of any single application.  BPM is a superset of workflow, further differentiated by the ability to coordinate activities across multiple applications with fine grain control.

Recent Photography Trend #4: Digital Photography Workflow Software | DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPH... - 0 views

  • ne of the trends that has been growing for advanced and enthusiast photographers is the use of image editing workflow software. The market is dominated by Adobe Lightroom and Apple Aperture. The first out of the gate a few years ago was Aperture, however dominating the space now is Adobe with its recent release of Adobe Lightroom 3. Both are top notch. Apple based professional photographers tend to favor Aperture as it is strictly for the Mac and integrates well with iPhoto. The rest of the world favors Adobe Lightroom.

Apple based professional photographers tend to favor Aperture as it is strictly for the Mac and integrates well with iPhoto. The rest of the world favors Adobe Lightroom. Which is better? There isn't an answer to that question, bothhave their pluses plus a few minuses. For the PC users, you need to understand the Mac mentality, its slightly different but the "just" is rocking image management and quick on the fly image corrections and the abilty to output slideshows and photobooks lickidly split. Like I said, both are excellent, low cost complimentary additions to help with a higher volume workflow. Teamed up with Photoshop or even Elements, and you have real solid toolset for the busy photographer that wants to keep their images organized."
