  • Publication number: 20040249695
    Abstract: Accordingly, the present invention provides a system and method capable of managing business process execution in a flexible and cost effective manner. In one embodiment, the present invention utilizes a plurality of externalized process flow rules capable of defining which tasks will be executed and in what order. The process flow rules of the present invention are designed to utilize contextual data in order to statically or dynamically alter the tasks to be executed and/or the order of task execution associated with any given business process. The present invention provides a User Interface (UI) for displaying stored presentation information associated with each task. In one embodiment, the UI provides at least one interface screen through which users may 1) provide the system with contextual data and/or 2) alter task execution flow. The UI may be also equipped with one or more taskbars capable of displaying interactive task execution information.
