WorkflowGen for Microsoft Azure now offers a low-code yet powerful platform to automate human-centric business processes in the age of digital ecosystems and the cloud-based OS.

Even as organizations are increasingly adopting the latest technologies such as AI and robotics for their operations, many still rely heavily on complex human-centric processes. The result of this disconnect is that business-critical processes rely on humans to perform value-added tasks like design, evaluation and decision making, with systems handling computing, transactions, data exchange, AI, and so on. Human and system tasks must be seamlessly integrated wherever they’re located (geographically, internally, externally, on-premise, in the cloud) and digitized with interfaces optimized for human interactions.

WorkflowGen for Azure dramatically optimizes operations and associated costs while augmenting enterprise processes with the most advanced cloud services such as Machine Learning, the Internet of Things and Blockchain for a highly accelerated time to delivery. It’s a modern cloud-optimized platform that relies on Azure managed services, such as:

Authentication

Azure Active Directory OpenID Connect authentication provides a more secure, unified single sign-on experience across different web apps and platforms.

In addition to WorkflowGen authentication, Azure Active Directory OpenID Connect can also be configured for access to the WorkflowGen Plus mobile app, server-side scripts and single-page applications.

User provisioning

WorkflowGen supports the SCIM v2 protocol, allowing Azure Active Directory to be configured to automatically provision users and groups. In this type of configuration, Azure Active Directory will automatically update users and groups, and periodically push them to WorkflowGen.

SQL Database

Azure SQL support and Azure SQL Read Scale-Out enable load balancing in primary/read-only replica database architectures.

Azure Files

Azure Files can be used with the SMB protocol when WorkflowGen files need to be shared across multiple server instances, such as web farms with a load balancer.

Notifications

Azure SendGrid for SMTP notifications provides more reliable email notification delivery with a scalable infrastructure, as well as analytics.

Load balancing

For high availability and scalability, WorkflowGen relies on Azure Load Balancer to distribute HTTP requests to multiple WorkflowGen server instances.

Azure Event Grid

WorkflowGen connectors for Azure Event Grid are expected in early 2019, enabling seamless and modern integrations between your processes and your other applications and systems by using a pub/sub-event-based model. WorkflowGen processes will be able to publish or consume events managed by Azure Event Grid.
