Founded in August 1993, the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) is a non-profit, global organization of adopters, developers, consultants, analysts and university/research groups engaged in Business Process Management (BPM). Workflow or BPM is the technology that supports people to do their work. Resulting benefit is more efficiency, traceability,and quality improvements.
WfMC creates and contributes to process related standards and educates on the benefits of process automation. WfMC is the only standards organization that concentrates purely on process. WfMC created XPDL and Wf-XML and had influence on BPMN, OMG workflow interface, ASAP and many other process related standards.
Mission Statement
Increase the value of customers investment with workflow technology
Decrease the risk of using workflow products
Expand the workflow market through increasing awareness for workflow
The WfMC has over 300 member organizations worldwide, representing all facets of workflow, from vendors to users, and from academics to consultants. We invite you to join us and find out first hand what's going on in the Business Process Management and Workflow industry. As a Coalition member, you have the opportunity to influence developing standards and network with the key players in the workflow industry. A core value of the WfMC is "interoperability." One factor in a positive user experience for consumers of workflow technologies is knowing when two or more products are likely to work with one another.
