Workflow Automation is a flexible and extensible platform.
Storage experts will leverage the pre-defined content to define the storage processes.

or by importing content from places like the Workflow Automation Community site.
Once satisfied with the storage process,
the storage expert will publish the workflows and identify who is authorized to initiate them.
Workflow automation is also a storage portal.
Authorized users will log into Workflow Automation,
be shown only the workflows they are able to initiate,
and provide the user inputs as identified by the storage experts to kick off the process.
With one click, the user will initiate the storage process as defined by the storage expert.
