IBM Workflow Orchestrator

IBM Workflow Orchestrator provides complete digital ,for the collection, processing and distribution of large volumes of file-based digital assets. Built on the Fast, Adaptive, Secure Protocol (FASP) transfer technology, this web-based application and SDK platform simplifies the design and build of workflows that result in highly scalable, predictable, streamlined file processing workflows that connect business units and external partners using the existing IT infrastructure. An extensive library of plug-ins is available to support many popular workflow applications.

IBM Workflow Orchestrator offers:

• An intuitive visual workflow designer with a browser-based interface makes it easy to compose automated execution streams based on the organization’s existing digital workflows.
• An intelligent and versatile decision engine augmented with a rich library of powerful plug-ins.
• An Interactive tracking and reporting interface that enables precise control and monitoring over the whole Aspera high-performance file transfer environment.
• FASP-enabled support for intensive, high-volume workflows to provide high-speed, predictable data delivery regardless of file size or format, transfer distance, or network conditions.   Intuitive visual workflow designer
• Enables drag-and-drop visual elements to help define logical sequences, inputs, action types, outputs and dependencies.
• Supports monitoring of active workflows.
• Allows you to define reusable subworkflows.
