However, there is one good reason to use HWS ... it is when you need to proove your manager that you need a better monitor ;-).

I have been trying to understand HWS, and how it helps orchestrate
human workflows.  But it seems like a lot of complexuity to achieve
very little.

I watched a 1 hour HWS Tutorial webcast, and wound up the basic Action
orchestration, which had fifty or so items in the toolbox, as a
starting basis! - it seems that it is up to the client to actually
orchestrate to workflow and that HWS is just a complex enabling API.

I was sort of expecting simple graphical workflow editors, that my end
customers could manipulate and maintain. HWS seems a long way off this
aspration.

Any views/suggestions. I guess I go and look for an Open Source
solution.
