PowerWF Studio is a Workflow tool with the capability of converting PowerShell scripts into Workflows. This capability allows users to take advantage of their existing investment in PowerShell and the vast libraries of published scripts. Users can visualize, annotate, debug, and track their PowerShell scripts in PowerWF as Workflow flowcharts making their scripts more accessible. Users can drag & drop activities onto workflows to have data gathered from any source then pushed out to an enterprise monitoring solution like System Center. With PowerWF workflows can be compiled as stand-alone applications, PowerShell Cmdlets and Snapins, or deployed to a monitoring solution.
