Hi David,
I agree with you David. My opinion about workflow (as I've already said
many times) is that it doesn't belong in a CMS. It belongs in a task
management system or whatever you'd want to call it. Truth is, the more
"workflows" you have in different systems, the less they are used. A
central system every employee uses to find out what they need to do across
the board makes much more sense than tasks spread across different systems.
And I don't mean CM tasks only. I think CMSs are trying to be more than
they should. All the CMS needs to be able to do is prevent a page from
being published if the task management system hasn't said "ok". The task
management system however will be the one pointing to that page with
different employee assigned tasks. Not to mention to as many CMSs as the
company may have. Unfortunately, because workflow is the buzz word of the
year for enterprise CM, I try to avoid discussing it with the client and
point to alternative solutions that compliment ours.

Often a linear workflow that simply reacts to the status of a document
is all a business really needs.
