Nintex Workflow for Project Server 2010 Version 2.0 on Show at Microsoft Project Conference

Nintex (www.nintex.com), a leading Microsoft (News - Alert) SharePoint company, and the sole Gold sponsor of the Microsoft Project Conference 2012, announced today the availability of Nintex Workflow for Project Server 2010 Version 2.0. This version adds capabilities to create project event driven workflows, improvements to demand management workflows, and still relies on underlying Nintex Workflow power for collaborative workflows in Microsoft SharePoint. Nintex Workflow for Project Server 2010 helps empower project and portfolio managers to design and implement end-to-end workflows without the need for complex and costly development cycles.

"Built to extend Project Server 2010 and SharePoint 2010, Nintex Workflow for Project Server 2010 helps streamline portfolio governance and project lifecycle management, without writing custom code," said Chris Crane, director, Project and Visio product marketing, Microsoft Corp.

Project and portfolio managers have a range of different needs for automating tasks and processes. "We built our browser based Nintex Workflow for Project Server to work from within the Project Web Application (PWA) and to fulfill the needs for designing processes related to demand management, event driven, and SharePoint collaborative workflows," said Alberto Sutton, vice president of product management at Nintex. "Users will also have the ability to query project data and review reports using the familiar Project Server 2010 Interface," added Sutton.

Demand management workflows created with Nintex Workflow for Project Server are assigned to Enterprise Project Type's (EPTs) and can be configured to present Project Detail Pages (PDPs) and set stage status through the lifecycle phases according to an organization's Enterprise Project Management (EPM) methodology. Christophe Campana, CEO of Campana & Shott, an international consulting company for project management and process optimization, observed that "Nintex Workflow for Project Server allows our customers to easily implement workflows customized to fit their specific project lifecycles, leading to significant cost advantages."

In addition, workflows can be associated to asynchronous Project Server 2010 events and kicked off based on events such as when a project is published, or a new resource is created. This helps ensure greater governance across an organizations' project management practice by monitoring budgets and resource status. Marnus Viljoen, chief technology officer for FOX IT stated "The event driven workflow has made my life as IT professional so much easier - I can now extend Project Server 2010 functionality without requiring the help of a developer. Implementing workflows in Project Server 2010 using Nintex Workflow is so quick and easy - I can't even imagine implementing a Project Methodology without it."

The underlying Nintex Workflow integration with Microsoft SharePoint helps improve collaboration and communications across the project team during project execution and management. In addition, workflows can connect to CRM, ERP and other line of business systems for billing and resources, as well as Microsoft SharePoint Business Connectivity Services, Active Directory, Microsoft Lync 2010 and Microsoft Office 365 sites in the cloud.
