Replicate complex business processes

With PowerTools for Workflows you no longer need to redefine your business processes to work with the technology. PowerTools for Workflows' event action system, user assignments, notifications, automation rules, and routing options ensure that your processes can now be replicated directly within Content Suite.

Improve the workflow experience

It also addresses other common OpenText usability challenges. By enabling the interface of individual steps to be tailored and show only key information and actions, PowerTools for Workflow simplifies user training and reduces user input errors.

Optimize workflow execution times

PowerTools for Workflow reduces the time taken to execute individual workflows. Its ability to auto-complete or bypass steps if a majority decision has already been reached removes the need to wait for unnecessary decisions. In addition, if steps pass deadlines or meet defined criteria they can be automatically escalated to overseeing users.

Ensure integrity and organizational compliance

By automatically performing actions PowerTools for Workflow ensures compliance within your business processes. It can modify attributes and permissions data, rename files, create and update Content Suite user accounts, and move content into secure archives, all within audited processes.

Event triggers also allow actions to be performed based on changes within your Content Suite environment or the passing of time.

Reduce development and support overheads

With no custom coding, PowerTools for Workflow reduces your development and support overheads. By eliminating the need to directly address Content Suite functions, it ensures that any workflow which works in one version of Content Suite can be upgraded readily to a newer version

With PowerTools for Workflow you can now design business processes and build automated applications in a cost-effective manner - leveraging your existing Content Suite investment.
