Workrunner is creating the new standard in Business Application Development. 

Here is an overview of technologies that we focus on so you don’t have to.

Stage-Gate® methodology breaks a project into functional, sequential steps, called „stages“. Each stage contains a set of cross-functional activities which must be successfully completed prior to proceed to the next stage.

At the end each stage, the overall progress is sent to approval of strategic decision makers, called „gate approval“.  At these gates, quality of the overall project is reviewed, Go/No-Go decisions are made and action plans for the next stage are discussed.

Platform

Workrunner has been developed with .NET Framework v4.0. The Process Engine and integration services require a Windows Server system, while the database layer requires MS SQL Server. The end-user interfaces and process design tools, being completely web based, can be run on any operating system (Windows/Linux/iOS). A web browser with JavaScript support is the only requirement. Workrunner allows multiple instances of web servers or process engines to work simultaneously on the same database.

Web Services

Workrunner not only allows processes to speak to each other through a database, but also allows communications via SOA based web services. This feature is built upon Microsoft Communication Framework, which means a large number of web service standards such as WS-Transactions are supported by Workrunner out-of-the-box. Depending on the type of tasks, Workrunner web services can be used to initiate new processes or to finalize pending jobs for workflows in progress.

Data Model

Workrunner Data Model which compliant with the industry standard of XSD (XML Scheme Definition) is defined during the process modeling stage. Workrunner can work with external XSD data types such as unlimited hierarchical models and web services. All transactions within the process (form fields, scripts, role definitions, etc.) are based upon a workflow data which can be accessed via XPath queries and is flexible to handle all modifications within XML standards.

You may seamlessly add a new feature to your application and release a new version without worrying about how to sync the live processes running in the system, Workrunner manages these active workflows with the version set at their creation. Unlimited number of versions can be created at any given time without any hassle.

Localization tools scan all objects used within the interface, and acts as a dictionary for a different language provisions. Unlimited number of dictionaries can be placed for localization purposes, and this dictionary remains valid for different systems as it will be carried on the process.
