Business problem
Ensuring that business processes and workflows are completed in an ordered or contingent way which may include human intervention in the form of application interaction. The benefits include the transformation of hitherto asynchronous processes into long-running transactions and the virtual elimination of “polling” or diarised activity by applications to prompt users to check for external communications, e.g. returned email, in order to update the status of the transaction flow.

Technical issues
Individual sub-transactions need to be grouped such that the overall status of a business transaction can be ascertained. The long running transaction needs to be activated by the next event in the business process lifecyle.

Cohesions solution
The Cohesions Coordination service will reflect the current state of a long running business transaction. This transaction can be reactivated by any participant in the long running business transaction initiating a processing event.
