Not quite what you asked for but here is a list of Workflow solutions in a
Microsoft environment:
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=357095

I've personally only used the K2 solution. It is extremely easy to define
workflows with their tool and can have custom code added to almost every step.

Tahnsk for that. Looks good.
What about BizTalk 2006? Would it be difficult to learn on the fly or is it
too heavy for just workflows (we might also need it for integration)?

Hello C,

BizTalk is not just workflow it's Orchestration that allows you to model
business processes (BP) and business operations (BO) that comprise workflow
too.

The little desctiption of BizTalk is there http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BizTalk

What about Sharepoint?

Can I use this to automate workflows and integrate with Visual Studio?

Can I use this to automate workflows and integrate with Visual Studio?

Just want to look at all my options.

Below seems to be what I need though.

What about Sharepoint? It has no real workflow of its own, a lot of people
resort to using office document/mail workflow- you need third party tools
like K2, but you can certainly integrate WWF with MOSS2007 (the next version
of SPS), I dont know if you could integrate it with SPS2003 but only because
I've never looked at it.
Can I use this to automate workflows and integrate with Visual Studio?
Yes

Its an exciting product, well worth a sniff at.

Thansk for that John.

"but you can certainly integrate WWF with MOSS2007 (the next version

So will SPS 2007 provide similr functionality to what k2 does or will it be
mainly for handling documents / files ?
