(This article is part of a series on Workplace efficiency tools and software)
What is Sharepoint Workflow? Or how about what is Document Workflow? I have received many questions on this topic, and I think it is worth exploring. Before we talk about Sharepoint Workflow specifics, lets review the concept of Document Workflow in general.

Sharepoint Collaboration vs Central Desktop
September 1, 2009 – 10:17 pm
It may sound obvious, but group collaboration is hard work. On every project I have been involved with, the method by which the team collaborated was different.

May 19, 2009 – 1:53 pm
