On June 4, 2007, Captaris announced that it is demonstrating Captaris Workflow 6.5, the latest release of its Microsoft .NET Framework-based product, at Microsoft Tech-Ed 2007. Captaris Workflow 6.5 integrates with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows Workflow Foundation to provide customers with vertical solutions for business process automation and management problems.
Key features and benefits of Captaris Workflow 6.5 for the Microsoft platform include:
- Powerful new support for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. The Workflow Task List web part now operates within Office SharePoint Server 2007. Event notification has been enhanced so a designer can easily associate a workflow model to an Office SharePoint Server 2007 event.
- Simulation Module supports Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation. The Captaris Workflow Simulation Module empowers business process analysts to perform "what-if" scenarios to improve and optimize processes and estimate Return on Investment (ROI). Workflow 6.5 includes a simulation model design canvas based on Windows Workflow Foundation.
- Integration with Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 and Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007. This new capability makes it easier to deploy business process solutions that require electronic forms, an important requirement for businesses looking to reduce paperwork.
- Enhanced support for Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006. The Captaris Workflow developer can use this integration point to leverage business rule policies that have been defined within BizTalk Server 2006 using the Business Rules Composer.
- Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express. This will simplify solution evaluations, proof-of-concept projects, and other small deployments. As the deployment grows in scale, the workflows can be upgraded to run on a full SQL Server 2005.
- Enhanced Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Users can now specify user defined KPIs for their tasks, and view, filter and sort their lists based on the KPI values.
