RESTON, Va.--BUSINESS WIRE--Bamboo® Solutions, the leading provider of technologies that
enhance Microsoft® SharePoint®, announced today the availability of
Workflow Conductor™, a new application suite designed to enable business
process automation. Workflow Conductor augments Bamboo’s extensive
portfolio of add-ons and companion tools for Microsoft SharePoint. With
Workflow Conductor, Bamboo is challenging traditional barriers to
broader adoption of business process automation, including ease of use,
cost of ownership, and integration with existing IT infrastructure.
“Bamboo is an interesting new player in the workflow space”
Workflow Conductor is optimized for business users such as program
managers, project managers, and other information workers across the
enterprise. Workflow Conductor features an easy-to-use drag-and-drop
interface that enables automation of everyday business processes without
coding or IT intervention.
“Bamboo is an interesting new player in the workflow space,”
comments David Mann, author of Workflow in the 2007 Microsoft Office
System. “Competition can only bring good things to this part of the
SharePoint ecosystem. I am following the development of Workflow
Conductor closely. Assuming Bamboo leverages their existing portfolio
of SharePoint Web Parts, they have an opportunity to challenge some of
the traditional leaders in this space.”
Bamboo seeks to make business process automation through
SharePoint easier and more affordable for the small to medium
enterprise, where cost of ownership has been a barrier to adoption.
Priced at only $4,500 per server, including annual support, Workflow
Conductor provides an innovative feature set at a fraction of the cost
of other workflow solutions.
Workflow Conductor is built on Microsoft’s Windows Workflow
Foundation, ensuring long term compatibility with key Microsoft
technologies, including SharePoint, Microsoft Office®, and the .NET
platform. Workflow Conductor will leverage Microsoft’s ongoing
investments in Windows Workflow Foundation to provide new features and
capabilities in future versions.
“Our vision for Workflow Conductor includes interoperability with
both local systems and hosted instances of SharePoint, including
SharePoint Online, and cloud-based environments built on platforms like
Microsoft Azure™,” says Mike Tanner, CEO of Bamboo Solutions. “Workflow
Conductor will leverage our existing portfolio of products and our
upcoming line of Cloud PartsTM, to
automate business processes that extend beyond the firewall."
Workflow Conductor is available now for download, trial, and
purchase on the Bamboo Web site www.bamboosolutions.com.
An optional premium support package is also available.
