try the tutorial in the online help (basis.. business management.. workflo=

re a few workflow books around, but the only one that is comprehensive is a=
vailable in German only at this time.. you might want to wait until Alan an=
d friends are ready with theirs, that should be quite usable :-)</font>

<br><font size=3D2 color=3Dblue face=3D"Arial">I agree fully with Ronen tha=
t a good workflow consultant is essential to get the first project up and r=
unning. One of the most important aspects of such a move is that you will g=
ain planning certainty, which is very important politically to prove to peo=
ple in your company that workflow is very useful indeed and if done properl=
y can be delivered speedily and with a reasonable budget. Once you have tha=
t consultant in, spend as much time with him or her while they are building=
the workflow, and just ask, ask, ask, and on top of that ask them to train=
you as the administrator also..</font>
