PowerWF Ultimate v2.1.1
PowerWF Studio™ unleashes the potential of ********* PowerShell and Windows Workflow Foundation by providing a visual integrated development environment (IDE) that virtually eliminates the need to write scripts. PowerWF’s IDE provides a central environment for building, debugging, and deploying your scripts and workflows. It includes a wide array of pre-packaged activities that support these standard industry platforms. Using the PowerWF™ environment, administrators can quickly and easily automate their daily repetitive tasks.
More than the sum of its parts …
Organizations are increasingly looking to automate administrators’ daily lives. ********* responded with two key technologies: Windows PowerShell, which has become the preferred scripting language for Windows administrators, and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), a rich visual environment for modeling and defining business rules.
Yet both of these technologies have limitations. PowerShell scripts become increasingly difficult to read and maintain over time. Windows Workflow offers a completely visual style of programming that makes it easy to develop and maintain programs, but lacks PowerShell’s rich feature-set and support.
PowerWF combines both technologies into a single easy-to-use product that replaces legacy batch files, scripts and custom application development, enabling you to completely automate your IT Processes without writing a single line of code. Greater automation reduces latency in service delivery and the risk of human error – the primary cause of downtime. It also cuts your costs for maintaining existing systems, leaving more resources for new IT initiatives.
Benefits
Eliminate Code
PowerWF™ enables you to build automated solutions using a simple drag-and-drop graphical user interface. No coding is required to quickly create powerful workflows that automate your daily tasks. This reduces costs and hassles associated with developing and maintaining code, scripts, and batch files.
Reduce Errors
Eighty percent of downtime is the result of human error. Automated management processes developed using PowerWF reduce latency in service delivery and the risk of human errors.
Increase Visibility
While traditional scripting tools require complicated programming logic and vendor APIs, PowerWF’s visual “flow chart” paradigm hides these complexities, allowing you to concentrate on your business processes and collaborate more effectively with stakeholders. It also reduces errors and speeds the process of developing workflows.
Improve Productivity
Unlike traditional scripting tools, PowerWF gives you a uniform methodology for developing your business processes and a similar look-and-feel for all workflows. This consistent programming model improves productivity and decreases maintenance costs.
Decrease Maintenance Costs
Because workflows are represented visually to the developer as flow-charts and are coupled with built-in annotation, your scripts are essentially self-documented, making them easy to understand. This helps you reduce the 80% of your IT budget you spend maintaining existing systems, making resources available for new IT initiatives.
Protect your Investment
Whether you need to bring a Legacy application into Workflow and Powershell or export a Workflow or Powershell solution to a Legacy environment, PowerWF™ provides the capabilities you need to get the job done.
