WORK FLOW SOFTWARE

Gülcan AdarBeyza Aktimur

What is work flow software?

Work flow software means machines can do something without human interaction.

People do their own job and pass it to the computers.

They can work together when they don't live in the same city or country.

How was the past?

In the beginning there was no standards.

Software and data could not be shared.

It was like a bad fire departmant which has different interfaces for connecting the fire hose to the hydrant.

How did work flow software make the

world smaller?

Now there are some standards like XML and SOAP.

These standards make softwares independent.

It made company work easier to manage.

Case study: Higglytown Heroes

The global supply chain of Higglytown Heroes.

The recording session located near the artist is in New York or L.A

Design and direction is done in San Francisco

The writers network in from their homes (Florida, London, New York, Chicago, L.A and San Francisco)

The animation of the characters is done in Bangalore with edits from San Francisco.

How has this efficiency allowed them to work with famous artists?

Work flow software makes smaller the world.

You can save time.

Employer has lots of choices which are not in same city or country.

What is the “football”?

Football is a laptop which has the companies software.

People do their own job and pass it to the computers.

 XML and SOAP

XML is like a language uses for communication.

SOAP relaties transport protocol and XML.

An XML and SOAP example

<?xml version="1.0"?><soap:Envelopexmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope"soap:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-encoding">

<soap:Body xmlns:m="http://www.example.org/stock">  <m:GetStockPriceResponse>    <m:Price>34.5</m:Price>  </m:GetStockPriceResponse></soap:Body>

</soap:Envelope>

How has the work flow software improved communication?

Situation 1

Doctors who live in USA send X-ray doctors who live in Bangalore. They send X-ray when they get out of the work. From time difference, doctors are in Bangalore directly read X-ray.

It saves time.

Situation 2

Animated films with a production team spread out around the world.

It makes lots of choices to director.

Situation 3

Everybody can sell and buy something easily with PayPal. They don’t have to be a company for selling something with credit card. It is enough to have an e-mail address to send and receive money.

Ebay bought PayPal.It makes the wold smaller and

paying has a standard.

How will the future be?

In the future we will see workflow all over the world.

World will be smaller like the internet.
