Shaken, Not Stirred

This month, Bamboo gives you one more way to shake things up in SharePoint with the release of Workflow Conductor ™ 1.5. Your business processes span your organization, so why should your workflows be limited to a single site? With Workflow Conductor, not only can you perform workflow actions on other sites, but you can also perform them across site collections. That’s just one of the dozens of new features in the latest release of Workflow Conductor.

Ready to give your portal a much needed jolt? Learn firsthand how to inject new life into your portal by attending one of our free Webinars, or download a free 30-day trial of Workflow Conductor now.

Cheers,

Team Bamboo
