It’s great to see the company establishing a formal local presence, and we look forward to working more closely with Nintex and its local partners going forward.”

It offers a wealth of value and opportunities to SharePoint consulting companies who are passionate about Microsoft SharePoint technologies, and realise how Nintex products empower business users and IT professionals alike to quickly and easily automate business processes; plus how becoming a Nintex partner will allow them to spend less time offering work-for-hire coding and much more time doing higher-value trusted advisor work.

Ray Meiring, Managing Director for relate technologies a Nintex South Africa partner qualified the value of the program explaining “In early 2008 relate technologies recognised the value that the Nintex suite of products could add to both our services offerings and to our SharePoint customers.  Since signing up as a partner, we have been able to deliver a number of SharePoint solutions, using Nintex products, to customers in South Africa. Our customers have been impressed by the rapid and consistent delivery that Nintex products have enabled on these projects.  In addition, having Nintex products in our product portfolio has allowed us to introduce our services offerings to a larger range of diverse customers hence expanding our pipeline of work.  We have further benefited by being awarded spin-off SharePoint projects at the customers where Nintex products have been implemented.”

Nintex Workflow 2010 to Release July 12

Nintex today announced Nintex Workflow 2010 will be released on July 12, 2010 completing an 18-month effort to, once again, create a product that lives up to its motto of “SharePoint Workflow for Everyone.”

Nintex Workflow 2007 customers with software assurance agreements can upgrade to Nintex Workflow 2010 at no charge using a simple process that preserves all existing functionality.

“We’ve worked closely with the Microsoft SharePoint team for a long time, and across many releases,” said Wayne Woolston, managing director for Nintex. “The tight integration with SharePoint 2010 will be very obvious, as well as the leap forward in business value.”

Nintex Workflow 2010 provides easy, yet powerful, workflow tools for business users and professional process designers alike, by enhancing – not replacing – SharePoint’s built-in workflow infrastructure.  The product includes full support for SharePoint’s new user interface and new platform options including site workflows and reusable workflows, plus investments in InfoPath workflow forms design. While Nintex Workflow 2010 will ship with many new ready-to-use workflow components, workflow designers will be able to create new, reusable components by simply drawing them and saving them for reuse.  Nintex Workflow 2010 also includes improved management features to secure, deploy, manage and report on workflows from individual sites up to entire farms.

Additionally, the company outlined the roadmap for upcoming products and development efforts.  Nintex Analytics 2010, the successor to Nintex Reporting 2008, will be released in the second half of 2010.  Nintex Analytics 2010 will include large leaps forward in scalability and scope, rigorous data manageability and security, a Silverlight-based ad-hoc report designer, and the tracking of new categories of SharePoint activity, beginning with click-through page analytics. 

Additional research and development investments are focused around cloud computing, particularly with SharePoint Online Services and Windows Azure.  Nintex is pursuing twin strategies, the first of which is to ensure that Nintex products deploy to hosted environments, and the second of which is to create new categories of cloud functionality. “While SharePoint remains the center of the universe, Nintex will extend SharePoint’s reach with new innovations that  consume and provide cloud services – workflows, for example – throughout that universe,” said Mike Fitzmaurice, vice president of product technology at Nintex.  “We were all in with SharePoint since the beginning, and we’re all in with cloud computing now.”
