Research indicates that workflow technology can lead to remarkable cost savings and increased efficiency and productivity. Workflow technology has evolved in to Business Process Management platforms with rich integration and collaboration features. BPM can be applied to increasingly complex problems. Automating business processes end to end, integrating applications to process steps, and opening up processes for collaboration with partners and customers represents just the beginning of what can be expected from BPM solutions.
BPM software coordinates the routing of data from application to application, prompting users to intervene when decisions need to be made about exceptional cases. Process engines can be tightly integrated into enterprise applications with the ability to extract the business logic into reusable business process components instead of hard-coding the frequently changing logic into applications.

Enterprises are now moving towards business process orchestration in the Web services environment. Business processes are becoming increasingly interlinked and companies require flexible infrastructures for supporting dynamic process management. BPM technology enables businesses to manage the increasing process complexity, empowering companies to track and optimize their business operations. i-Flow provides a flexible and adaptive architecture for managing the complexities of e-business process orchestration.
