A national, compliance-focused organisation uses iMIS to manage training programs, certifications, renewals, and regulatory workflows, supporting thousands of records across New Zealand. The environment had evolved over many years to support increasingly complex automation requirements and required a change.
Before iWorkflow
Automation relied heavily on chained iSchedule tasks scheduled minutes apart to enforce execution order.
Multiple webhooks embedded in iMIS content pages triggered background processing.
Business logic was scattered across iSchedule, page scripts, and background tasks.
Key Issues:
Failed tasks did not stop downstream processing, causing partial updates and data integrity risk.
Limited visibility into what automation existed or whether it succeeded.
High maintenance overhead and reluctance to make changes to critical processes.
Elevated risk for compliance-critical workflows.
After iWorkflow
iSchedule chains replaced with single, linear iWorkflow sequences.
One webhook per event, with iWorkflow coordinating all sub-tasks.
All automation logic centralised within iWorkflow.
Workflow Dashboard used for monitoring, history, and troubleshooting.
Key Improvements:
Tasks now run sequentially and stop immediately if a step fails.
Clear logs identify failure points, reducing troubleshooting time.
Reduced scripts, schedules, and page-level complexity.
Greater confidence to evolve and extend automation safely.
Outcome
The organisation now operates on a reliable, transparent, and future-ready automation framework. Compliance workflows run consistently, automation is visible and governed in one place, and the team can confidently modernise processes without increasing system risk.
