XIP iStudio-Workflow Designer

Orchestrating process integration, automation and workflow

Pre-built components in visual drag-and-drop interface

Using Santéon's XIP Workflow Designer, you can design the automated business process workflow and all human interactions in the process. The Workflow Designer is a drag-and-drop visual development environment with a library of pre-built components to configure intelligent process automation and integration that is interoperable across any type of data, system, method or user interface. You can create an event-driven process orchestration integrating with legacy systems, a pure Service Oriented Architecture, or a hybrid mix of Web services and legacy systems.

Santéon's XIP Workflow Designer's comprehensive, yet easy-to-use, environment supports integration efforts that can take weeks rather than months. It includes configurable components for data validation, data conversion, decision routing, customization, human interaction, email notification, business rules management, archiving, and others to speed implementation of process automation and management. The declarative integration environment allows for quick click configuration of the components rather than intensive hard-coding.

Santéon understands that each organization is unique and customization of processes is essential. While we provide pre-built components, process templates, message structures, forms and reports, most organizations still need some tailoring and the product is unmatched in its ability to customize rapidly. There is a built-in embedded development allowing developers to code in any .Net based language of their choice- so there is not only no need to learn a proprietary language, but an organization can even have different developers writing code in different languages that make the most sense for their organization and development team.

Capabilities and Benefits of Santéon's Workflow Designer

Santéon's Trans-Language Development Environment. Provides an environment for developing supporting multiple types of coding and languages.

• Declarative Integration environment offers pre-built components that can be quickly configured
• Embedded development environment offers the ability to extend capabilities and customize in a built-in, non-proprietary development environment where you code in any .Net based language of your choice

Santéon's Trans-Personnel Collaborative Environment. Integrated with other XIP applications, XIP offers both business and technical views to improve collaboration between all stakeholders of process integration efforts.

Contextual Integration. You can define the timeframe for use of rules, for example you can apply always or certain times of day allowing you fine control (for example, if an order comes in between business hours do one action, if not do another action).

Visual, drag-and-drop environment. Easy-to-use drag-and-drop environment to visually design the process workflow integration.

Library of pre-built components. Quickly configure large library of pre-built components. You can also create your own components and add them to the library to extend capabilities unique to your organization, using Santéon's embedded development environment. Some of the pre-built components that are ready to click and configure include:

Event driven. Organizations can define constants that can be used and reused by business process owners.

Supports hybrid environments of legacy systems and Web Services. You can begin to realize the value of Web Services with some of your applications, even if you don't have a pure Service Oriented Architecture.

Imports process models. Can import process models from XIP Modeler to configure for execution.

Interoperable. Interoperable with any data type or system type. Accepts native, delimited and positional data, as well as EDI.

Messages carry attachments, notes. The workflow can process messages that carry attachments of various formats (PDF, jpeg, .doc,.) and users can add notes.

Audit trail. The workflow is fully-auditable with a time-stamped audit trail.
