 People in today’s age collaborate through a variety of Wikis such as Wikipedia, cloud sites such as Google Docs, and other software. The worlds most successful corporations such as Wal-Mart and McDonalds have used workflow software to dominate the market. These corporations can accomplish hundreds of goals seamlessly and with little effort without ever even meeting each other. With the collapse of the economy small businesses alike with the large have had a major transition into increasing efficiency and productivity across the board. The net result allows people to contribute to more projects than ever before. This created a global platform for multiple forms of collaboration. Friedman, the author of The World Is Flat, believes these first three forces have become a "crude foundation of a whole new global platform for collaboration”. Wal-Mart is the largest grocery chain in the United States, with estimates that by 2007 it will have nearly 40% of all grocery sales and is already holding the current #1 stop for top 500 Fortune Companies.

 People of course still use other social outputs, but most of the time websites such as Facebook and Skype are the prime for social communication. Skype has 663 million registered users as of September 2011. The service “Twitter” rapidly gained worldwide popularity, with over 300 million users as of 2011, generating over 300 million tweets and handling over 1.6 billion search quires per day. Facebook has more than 845 million active users. Nearly everyone has a Facebook account or googled hundreds of times before.

Collaboration is an easier way to connect worldwide. PerfectForms is a paper providing company to educators. They just introduced a new platform of school Workflow. This K-12 Workflow is proving to be groundbreaking for education worldwide. PerfectForms introduced multiple platforms along with this. They produced human resource and finance platforms. This new collaboration project introduced easier Workflow software systems, so easy they can be operated by a first-grader. Workflow is being taught in schools today because of the constant demand for <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">W <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px;">orkflow workers in the future. =====

Wal-Mart alone has 10% of all exports to China. We have reached an incredibly high unemployment rate and yet we are transporting jobs to different countries. Many people are outraged at just the thought of Wal-Mart and similar business models that deploy so many jobs out of the country. Many government officials are payed off by the same corporations to undoubtedly, remain neutral on this subject. Regardless with how you feel, workflow software has created more jobs than it has ended. People in India and other foreign countries are accomplishing tasks for projects located across the globe. Employment at the foreign subsidiaries and affiliates of U.S. multinational firms grew by 729,000 in two years, to 11.9 million in 2008 from 2006. Over that same period, domestic-employment by such firms slipped by 500,000 jobs, to 21.1 million. <span style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: baseline;"> The government also uses workflow software in a variety of ways. UPS comes to mind. UPS uses almost exclusively workflow software to process deliveries and requests and to manufacture routes for delivering. We also see cases where UPS does things like taking in Toshiba laptops and repairing them cutting out the middleman. A lot of politic movement wouldn’t be possible without the use of workflow software.

Skype is a video-chatting website, an application created for socialization. Skype then transformed their application to incorporate worldwide video-calls. Sype lets globally separated clients and employees interact with each other. Skype also uses the screen share option. Shopping online, another leisure avctivity, introduced PayPal. A collaborative pay site and online transaction application. This introduced a whole new way to pay online. A whole new form of collaboration was introduced Dabble Board. This is an online white board service that lets the users draw on a virtual whiteboard. Dabble Board can be linked to any computer that has the application. =====

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Workflow is used a lot in arts, entertainment, or leisure. Workflow software helps increase processes in many different forms. It increases productivity in the arts and leisure because it speeds up the functionality more efficiently in the working process. There are many different programs for faster workflow that can be downloaded such as photoshop. Photoshop raises the level of productivity because it creates more speed and makes it easier to work with. There are creation programs so that image creation is done faster and more efficiently. Other softwares used for faster usability are movie programs such as iMovie or Windows Movie Maker to make the movie process faster and easier for the functions used in the process. The workflow softwares are used a lot and has helped many users get usable information and work done in a moress process management solution which is applicable for simple to complex processes. =====

<span style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #444444; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;">Work-flow software has been emerged as an orchestrating experiment process placed on a grid. These management systems use rules and instructions to organize data that will determine the task at hand. Over all the model-driven application of work-flow allows scientists to shape work-flow rules and instructions to produce a certain result. Further in science, work-flow is being used as an paradigm to manage large-scale scientific analyses. The program has helped in productivity and scalability of complex scientific experiments. An example of recent use is the production of drawings from many software programs to generate the desired data. Astronomy, earthquake science, physics, and biology are science disciplines where work-flow software is inter-graded. To conclude, work-flow software makes a big impact in the science, environment, and health world.Work flow software in medical machines allow for observations and such easier. It allows for your doctors to get work and observations done quicker. Work flow software can help surveyors get their job done more quickly and with less stress. Work flow software can help people working in the field to sync back to their computers at there office. Apple Has created a software called iCloud. This program allows for syncing with their mobile devices and a Mac. It syncs documents, photos, contacts, notes, calendar events, and many other things. This makes your life easier in business. Apps also can sync across iOS. So people in the field can use apps on their iPhone and it syncs on you iPad in the office. =  =
