Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC)

 

Founded in 1993, the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) is a global organization of adopters, developers, consultants, analysts, as well as university and research groups engaged in workflow and BPM. The WfMC creates and contributes to process related standards, educates the market on related issues, and is the only standards organization that concentrates purely on process. The WfMC created Wf-XML <http://www.wfmc.org/standards/wfxml.htm> and XPDL <http://www.wfmc.org/standards/xpdl.htm>, the leading process definition used today in over 50 solutions to store and exchange process models. XPDL <XML Process Definition Language> is not an executable programming language but a process design format for storing the visual diagram and process syntax of business process models, as well as extended product attributes. The WfMC has over 300 member organizations worldwide, representing all facets of workflow, from vendors to users, and from academics to consultants. We invite you to join us and find out first hand what's going on in the Business Process Management and Workflow industry. As a Coalition member, you have the opportunity to influence developing standards and network with the key players in the workflow industry. A core value of the WfMC is "interoperability." One factor in a positive user experience for consumers of workflow technologies is knowing when two or more products are likely to work with one another.
