How Can Symantec Workflow Help Your Business?

WEVO has used the Symantec Workflow tool to help a number of organizations automate and streamline business processes across various business units including; customer service, payroll, IT, operations, sales, and human resources. Some examples of processes are:
  • Guest Management System - automates and manages customer follow up and satisfaction for a casino and resort client.
  • Garnishment Process - automates and manages all the documents and tasks associated with processing garnishment cases.
  • Windows 7 Upgrade Process (we have also done this for other software upgrades i.e. Office 2007) - automates the request and roll out of major software upgrades.
  • Employee Onboarding/Offboarding Process - manages all the communication and tasks required for onboarding or offboarding an employee.
  • Processes around meeting specific auditing requirements for SOX or other governing bodies.
Our clients typically will come to us with a particular process that is either very labor intensive, high volume, complex, or any combination of those three. The goal is always to improve efficiency, which saves our clients time and money. Putting together an accurate ROI analysis and diligent process mapping and discovery are both very important steps in accomplishing our goal. Now that the Symantec Workflow software is free* it lowers the "I" in ROI by about $50,000.

The only limit to Symantec Workflow is your mind. It's flexibility, rapid development capabilities, and ability to easily integrate to other systems allows you to be very creative and think outside of the box when it comes to business process management.

Please contact WEVO Group if you would like to discuss any process (s) that you feel could be more efficient.

*Symantec will be including a full version of Workflow as part of the Symantec Management Platform (SMP) for all Symantec customers who are current on AUP.

Symantec Workflow is Now Free!!!

Symantec has announced today that they will be including a full version of Workflow as part of the Symantec Management Platform (SMP) for all Symantec customers who are current on AUP. This is part of an initiative to provide process automation and integration across the Symantec product portfolio.

This is what we have learned:

  1. If you own another Enterprise Level Symantec Product you will be able to install and start using Workflow today for free.

  2. A full version of Symantec Workflow is now a part of the SMP (the full version includes all integration libraries and the process portal)

  3. There are no SKU’s for Workflow or Workflow Maintenance. You can get maintenance for Workflow if you have another Symantec Enterprise Level Product and are current on that product’s maintenance plan.

We at the WEVO Group applaud Symantec’s decision to make Workflow available to every Symantec Customer for free. Workflow is a truly amazing product and is by far one of the best rapid development platforms on the market today. It’s ability to interface with Symantec’s product line and industry standard programs such as: SharePoint, Active Directory, Exchange, SQL, Office, Oracle, etc. make it a must have program for every company.

The WEVO Group has used Symantec Workflow to automate high volume, complex, and labor-intensive processes for our clients.
