Abstract:
Workflow is a popular concept in nowadays. Organizations try to implement Workflows that are flexible and optimized, but the simple realization of Workflows inside an organization is not always a simple task. Thereby the perception of its definition and endeavours can bring several benefits. One tool that helps to structure and optimize organization’s business processes are Content Management Systems, CMS. These applications provide a separation between content and services. When these two concepts meet in a CMS which supports Workflow, organizations may take advantage, becoming more agile, flexible and dynamic, while their tasks are automated. Ultimately these tools will help to increase the organization’s productivity and establish the desired business processes.
