Week of November 30, 1998 New Products SmartFlow SmartFlow from SmarTeam Inc. (Beverly, Mass.; www.smarteam.com) is a scaleable workflow management solution designed to streamline the product development/change process, enhance management control and reduce information bottlenecks by making engineering information more accessible and manageable throughout the corporation. SmartFlow gives users the ability to create, track and monitor processes and the flow of information among project teams or throughout an enterprise. It routes work from one stage to the next automatically, while information about the status of the work itself is instantly available. SmartFlow also allows users to get an overview of what work is being done, by whom, and for how long. For example, supervisors can track the location of documents in a workflow process at all times, enabling them to resolve bottlenecks, improve departmental efficiency and make routing decisions on-the-fly. SmartFlow and its EIS (executive information system) monitor provide an array of essential information to different users within an enterprise, so managers can intelligently track and model their company's business processes and procedures.
