WorkflowGen retirement update

The work to retire ASR WorkflowGen (WFG) processes is well underway. ASR units have been hard at work planning, analyzing, and developing solutions for our WorkflowGen processes. ASR currently still supports 22 active processes in WFG, and we’ve already transitioned/retired 6 processes from our portfolio over the past several months. OIT has provided further details about the necessity for retirement of WorkflowGen from central IT support and planning, which is based on:

• The lack of IT specialists within business units to build and maintain the complex development of their WFG processes
• WFG’s reliance on older, unsupported .net technologies 
• The need for significant OIT technical resources due to WFG’s frequent performance failures 
• Data security constraints
• WFG being out of compliance with UMN Accessibility standards for WCAG 2.1 AA

ASR’s work to retire our WFG processes is critical to the success of the overall project, and we appreciate the time and effort that ASR staff is committing to this work. For details about ASR’s processes and progress, see our WorkflowGen Retirement Status Update.
