SharePoint 2013 as a Workflow Management System
Process Management Services are a crucial piece in any system supporting ECM capabilities. SharePoint 2013 introduced a new technical foundation for workflow management and the modeling of business processes as automated workflows. In this session the audience will learn the benefits of the new Workflow Management System architecture as well as how to leverage it in real world scenarios. Attendees will see what can be achieved in SharePoint 2013 and Workflow Manager in an easy and controllable fashion. Most important the session will dive into what is not easily feasible Out-of-the-Box and will present a birds-eye view on the BPM ecosystem that has evolved around SharePoint 2010 and 2013. The key take-away for attendees will be an understanding of how to map real-world process management scenarios onto SharePoint 2013 Workflow workloads and when it is reasonable in terms of project risk and cost of ownership for the SharePoint investment, to move to a third party SharePoint BPM product. The session is intended for Architects and Decision Makers who already have concrete use cases/scenarios at hand and need to map them to SharePoint technology.

- 12. Visio 2010
- 14. Visual Studio +
- 16. High Project Risk Volatile Cost of Ownership No common model or language for business and technology

- 24. Key improvements - Technical Architectural Changes “Cloud Ready” Model Reusable Workflow Actions Reusable Designer Actions
- 25. Wrapping Up SharePoint OOB Workflow Capabilities have matured The tooling has matured Business and technology have a common modelling base Software architecture is modular and reusable (through Activities)
- 27. Key Motivations Make implicit processes visible and manageable Optimize processes continuously Optimize existing resources React to change
- 32. What you get.. Monitoring of (possibly) a large number of workflow instances Reports on performance of workflows / stakeholders Little impedance mismatch (depends on product) Better EAI functionality
- 33. SharePoint Workflows + - No further advance cost Unpredictable future cost Easy to use / Familiar tooling Limited OOB functionality Clean architecture Complex expansion model Supported by MS Custom development needed
- 34. BPM Tools + - Controllable Cost of Ownership Advance cost Rich modelling capabilities Training effort Large toolbox around BPM (Possibly) proprietary notation EAI functionality Need
- 35. Workflows BPM Intra department processes Inter department and corporate processes Little to no dependency on external systems System integration Small number of workflows Large number of workflows .NET development knowledge No development resources
