Business processes are the basis upon which enterprises (re-)organize their structures, production processes, adaption to changing demands of customers and their relationships to other players on worldwide markets. Coordination and workflow management technology are crucial technological enablers for achieving and keeping competitive organizational structures. Although there exist examples of successful workflow management projects, the design and implementation of this innovative technology is still a highly complex issue.
