Nintex brings workflows to Project 2010

6 December 2010

Nintex has released Nintex Workflow for Project Server 2010, extending its third generation SharePoint workflow product, Nintex Workflow 2010, to users of the Microsoft Project Server 2010 platform. The product empowers project and portfolio managers to design and implement the portfolio governance processes they want, and provides greater visibility into project lifecycle process, status, compliance, bottlenecks and participation.

Nintex Workflow for Project Server 2010 offers a graphical, Web-based, no-code designer that builds demand workflows that are assigned to Enterprise Project Types, improving team collaboration throughout the project review and approval processes. As workflows are associated to Enterprise Project Types, this allows for a more flexible and complete project lifecycle management experience, where workflow logic can be reused across projects, departments and teams. In addition, templates can enforce standard processes and methodology.

In addition to the Project Server-specific activities, Nintex Workflow for Project Server 2010 users can leverage the SharePoint platform via more than 100 Nintex Workflow 2010 actions that support integration with other line-of-business systems, automate SharePoint activities, manage project team sites and processes, assign tasks and approve documents.

“Nintex is a market leader with successful productivity products spanning several releases of Microsoft SharePoint,” said Wayne Woolston, managing director of Nintex. “The improvements Microsoft made with Project Server 2010 have enabled Nintex to extend the functional and feature-rich Nintex Workflow capabilities to create Microsoft Project Server 2010 integrated workflows that deliver an unrivalled Project Server workflow experience.”

The launch of Nintex Workflow for Project Server 2010 caps a year of close engagement with the Microsoft SharePoint and Project Server product teams, and concludes a beta program involving a large user-base of Nintex partners and Project Server MVPs, which provided invaluable feedback and fine-tuned features and functionality.

“Nintex Workflow for Project Server allows project managers to customise and extend workflows without writing custom code. We’re excited to see this help Project 2010 customers and partners,” said Arpan Shah, director of product management for Project at Microsoft.
