Hmm,
Galaxia is a workflow engine. Every time you have a procedure that must go through several steps, and through the hands of several people, this given procedure is a candidate for being modeled as a process in Galaxia.
I work at a car manufacturer. When Engineering wants to modify something in a car, other areas must be involved (Quality, Engineering, Manufacturing, etc), several documents must be created, etc. So it is particularly useful to know at which point is a given modification - have all documents been produced? Has the modification been thoroughly tested? If we're changing a particular part, do we have the old part still in stock? If yes, let's sell it, and stop buying it. And so on.
We have an internal software engineering process. When we introduce a new version, we ask: was it tested? Documented? Does it break other apps? Did the user receive proper training? Create a process and assign tasks to people. The overall quality of the software will be improved, at the expense of a little more time spent in going live. The tradeoff is worth every single penny.
Galaxia presents an universe of possibilities, limited solely by your imagination. Regards,
Georger
