Perfect complement to other AVEVA products
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Work Tasks primarily to implement custom processes on top of other AVEVA products, this is the extensibility layer for their other products, such as production management. We implemented of month processes as well as daily adjustments and others where the built in functionality doesn't quite meet our needs. We also implement miscellaneous manual processes in this tool, those that require some sort of integration or database access in the back end.
Pros
- Wysiwyg form editor
- Desktop and mobile display
- Extensibility with JavaScript and c#
- Web API calls
Cons
- Workflow editor user interface, a little clunky and has a learning curve
- Permissions model is complex
- Themes and corporate branding requires detailed css
- Upgrades require very thorough testing of developed artefacts
Return on Investment
- We have built our entire EOM reconciliation process for production management, this is not possible without Work Tasks
- We have complete standalone processes and applications built in Work Tasks, where complex steps and integrations are required. It is faster and cheaper than multiple bespoke products
- The API integration has allowed us to tie applications together where user input is required and middleware doesnt quite work
