    We have a requirement for business process automation and workflow solution. I am looking at number of tools but evaluating them is getting bit tedious. Any suggestions from anyone out there in corporate world using decent workflow and business process automation tool ? Requirements are to be able to integrate with AD, have ability to call web services, run basic SQL query , send notification emails to users , design some basic data entry forms and delegate work to someone.

    Zen and the art of software maintenance : rm -rf * Maths is like love : a simple idea but it can get complicated.

      I've used Windows Workflow Foundation in the past. It's straightforward enough to use and the fact that it integrates directly into Visual Studio is a major plus.

        MS has an enterprise-level system called BizTalk. IIRC, it can do all of the things that you want, and is integrated with their development tools. They used to have demo disks of the server (the server would expire after 180 days, or some such).

          If you have cash to burn, you could go with CA Technologies: they bought Automic last year. Automation[^]. Last place I worked at used their workflow automation tech and seemed pretty happy with it. It's just a *tad on the expensive side but it can do just about anything. * the price is not cheap

            We switched over to K2 3 years ago and it works for us (red car rental company). K2 offers a great web-based editor (really works) and VS IDE integration. The Forms product works well for simple, forms driven stuff but it is an opinionated framework. Our solutions are all loosely coupled with UI's developed in MVC / Angular and the workflow is kept clean. Great support, good training and quick to develop in - a decent dev can be up and going in a few days.

                The company I work for has done a few workflow solutions using Nintex on top of SharePoint. I wasn't directly involved (I stay as far away from SharePoint as I can) so I can't really comment on how good of a product it was, and I don't know how much of what was built was custom code, but the end result was similar to what you're asking about.

                    Have a look at Airflow as well. It is a bit more adventurous (read Python) than WWF, K2, Automic or BizTalk, but definitely has its strong points. It is simpler to install and use. The concept behind is well-thought and there's a good open source community behind the project. Some big names are using it too, so it has enough support from the business. Deployment and configuration to multiple environments might be a challenge, but so is true for any other workflow framework.

                      I'm not exactly sure if this is what you're looking for but Atlassian Jira handles most of what you described. It has become the lifeblood of our organization for issue tracking and workflow management.

                              We end up buying K2 for our workflow needs. I have first form designed in SmartForms but I am struggling to get its look and feel right. Tried getting the bootstrap css in but it is much harder then I thought. Only decent looking CSS I found is Lithium theme but that is still not jazzy enough for people up the chain. Even if it is paid one that is out there we will be happy to try. Any suggestion on getting a decent looking CSS for this ?
