The WfMC (Workflow Management Coalition) is a consortium of scientists and business experts that promotes the use of Workflow by creating generally accepted standards. As founding member, COSA fully corresponds to the rules and definitions set up by the WfMC (see www.wfmc.org). For example, all workflow-relevant data is stored in XPDL. This XML-based format was especially developed for archiving business processes.

The WfMC (Workflow Management Coalition) is a non-profit, international organisation of workflow vendors, users, analysts and university/research groups. Founded in 1993, its mission is to promote and develop the use of workflow through the establishment of standards for software terminology, interoperability and connectivity between workflow products. WfMC members include TIBCO Software, SAP AG, IBM, JCALS and CSC.
