What is a Workflow System? - First of all, a workflow is a routine or a process in an enterprise, which is supervised, steered and supported by a software system. This system is called a Workflow Management System (WfMS).
The goal of such a system is to improve process flow and structure in order to be able to produce faster and more economically, to improve quality, to react more flexibly to changes or simply to be better informed.


Unique Selling Proposition - The completely web based CEITON Workflow system is unique in its capability to model not only simple service processes, but also complex and dynamic production processes. Hence its name: Web Workflow PPS, where PPS is an abbreviation for production planning and controlling systems, a term derived from classical, function-based software systems.
Thus the system not only supports individual functions, like order and inventory management, planning or machine control, but also integrates all these functions into a coherent process - from beginning to end.
In addition, the CEITON Workflow system is the only real Workflow Management system for the media industry.


Technical Info - The system can handle users of multiple clients, is multilingual and provides changeable skins.
The 3-tier architecture is based on a web, application and database server. Dependent on the underlying hardware, the system is scalable from a cost-effective single workstation up to thousands of users on distributed servers. Through load balancing and clustering the availability of the system can be enhanced even further.
Besides the modular structure and the CEITON Workflow engine, which is inherently flexible, the system can also be customized to individual needs through different levels.
