Easy to use Graphical Designer

Workflows are designed with a web-based graphical flowchart tool directly within CIPAce™ . Designing a workflow can be as easy as drag and-dropping data and control elements. This familiar and easy-to-use interface allows your organization to modify or adjust business processes on-the-fly in order to dynamically optimize operational performance objectives.  You and your staff will create and immediately deploy business process workflows with minimal training required.

Notification and Communication Engine

CIPAce™ Workflow Engine features an integrated  email-based alert system to facilitate the communication of different workflow events.  Using the Notification and Communication Engine, you simply define your triggers and notify workflow participants.  CIPAce™ generates both status reports for a particular phase in the workflow process as well as summaries  defined sets of actions communicated throughout your organization.  You can seamlessly share the progress of your business workflow as a project or program moves from engineering to design to construction.
