WIndows Workflow Foundation

I have lately joined a financial services company as a senior dotNet devleoper. I am now analysing the systems used by the organisation for processing secured and unsecured loans. Till this time the business analysts have been using a custom built application for manipulating the rules used by the loan process. The buisness has now proposed to migratethe system and I as a developer has proposed the idea of using WWF for the new implementation . The Business Analysts ar little wary of the fact that their life might be tougher with the new system and they won't have the enough technical knowlwedge to play with the rules. From what I have known the windows workflow, it should still be possible to the upload the rules into the system from XML files and the manipulation will still be easy.

They may be "afraid" of change but having seen the existing environment, I am sure that a WWF implementation will make their work easier. A WWF solution will be simpler to maintain and will have a longer shelf life. I don't think that it would be wise to invest in large amounts of development work on the application unless you use forward looking technologies.
