Universal Controller
...
Universal Controller is the Universal Automation Center workload automation and job scheduling software. It provides the time-and-date scheduling of an enterprise job scheduler and the capabilities of a workload automation broker.
...
A central component of the Controller is the integrated drag-and-drop workflow definition tool. This feature allows you to define workflows that closely model your business processes. While working within the workflow module, you can import existing task definitions or create new tasks on the fly. You can develop simple or complex workflows and zoom in or out to view the details or overview as required. When the workflow kicks off, you can monitor its activity in a table view or graphically or both. You can create your own activity displays, specifying which activity you want selected and what details should be included. Like the workflow itself, the activity display is completely customizable.
