Microsoft CMS Workflow

Microsoft CMS' workflow features are hardwired in the off the shelf product. This works alright for organizations with a simple publishing process, but can become a touch troublesome when there are more complex requirements.

Skelta, a Bangalore-based BPM software company, has answered to this need with their Workflow.NET product.

Workflow.NET is an embeddable .NET workflow engine (surprise!) which has a Microsoft CMS (MCMS) integration option.

What's even better news is that the Skelta CMS Workflow Lite flavor is free for the using, limited to 25 workflows.
