Workflow-Centric Collaboration

Harold Engstrom • November 9, 2022

Nobody would deny that computer-supported collaborative work has led to massive improvements in workplace productivity and collaborative effectiveness. Believe it or not, net productivity across sectors has grown by 59.7% between 1979 and 2019, largely due to automated processes.


Still, there is always room for improvement, regardless of your industry. Especially with the challenges posed by remote and hybrid workplaces, workflow-centric collaboration is the next step in increasing productivity in computer-supported work. Let’s talk about that.


What Is Workflow-Centric Collaboration?

Workflow is the sequence of processes (industrial, administrative, etc.) through which a piece of work passes from initiation to completion. For this example, we are discussing a computerized workflow through a database with multiple tenants. Tenants, in this context, refer to a group of users who share common access and privileges with specific software (i.e. your staff, business partners, etc.).


In recent years, the rise of computing and universal network connectivity has increased our expectations of building a purely digital society. In this ideal scenario, remote participants with heterogeneous connections and process capabilities can join seamlessly to accomplish a common task. An essential component of that would be context-aware, intelligent, and workflow-centric collaboration between multiple tenants.


The Benefits of Workflow-Centric Collaboration

Effectively, software capable of workflow-centric collaboration can minimize the need for human intervention in your normal workflow, making processes more efficient, more accurate, and more productive. A highly-automated workflow typically requires human intervention at several levels, slowing down the process and leaving room for errors.


Moreover, this can reduce delays in large workflows and business processes with minimal error. Again, this software only works with context awareness, which lacks in most workflow AI technologies.


How to Facilitate Workflow-Centric Collaboration

While there or over 30,000 SaaS companies marketing their products to businesses to automate processes and workflow, they tend to fall short of understanding context and collaborating between multiple tenants. 


As a result, FlowWright is the only multi-tenant workflow software that is truly SaaS-ready, meaning that it’s designed for multi-tenant workflow upon purchase and without further programming. Although users can customize them to an extent, this type of application means you will share the same displays, rules, and user features.


How Does It Work?

FlowWright offers two solutions for different workflow needs, the .Net Workflow Engine, and the Multitenant Workflow Engines. Both of these are included in the FlowWright platform, so read more about our workflow engine features to learn more. Here’s how they work for your business needs.


.Net Workflow Engine

FlowWright’s .Net Workflow Engine is licensed to run on AWS, MS SQL, or MS Azure, effectively managing your email, notifications, forms, micro-services, and workflow on your multitenant database. This particular workflow engine offers seven different services, including:

● Process Engine

● Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Service

● Statistics

● Archival

● Email

● Trigger

● Distributed File System Service

These services together create a comprehensive configuration capable of processing enormous workloads across multiple servers.


Cloud Integration

FlowWright works with Amazon Cloud, Google Cloud, and other cloud-based solutions to allow for secure file sharing and storage. This makes collaboration simple and secure throughout your enterprise without having to worry about authorization, archival, or synchronization.


Moreover, it will also offer secure access to authorized users from any location. If you or your workers travel or work remotely part-time, this can make a world of difference!


SaaS Multitenant Workflow Engine

Conversely, the SAAS multitenant workflow uses a multitenant manager, tenant host, and tenant manager which work cohesively on the FlowWright application server. This ability allows users to accommodate OEM SaaS providers and end-user architectures, meaning that custom items can deploy once. From there, every tenant can use them within the SaaS/multi-tenant environment.


This is designed specifically for multitenant collaboration, as the out-of-the-box API is specific to the management of multi-tenant environments, such as creating tenants, disabling tenants, resetting tenants, and more. All of this comes with user-friendly controls and works with most SaaS systems!


Automate Your Workflow Collaboration Today

Automating specific aspects of your workflow can only take you so far. However, automating your workflow with intelligent, context-aware design allows for minimal errors, high efficiency, and little to no intervention. 

Workplaces can now finally take advantage of these advanced process management systems, so stay up to date with our latest tips for your business, and check out our business solutions today!
