Built on Microsoft technologies, it features advanced BPM functionality for Human Workflow Services, support for multiple channels and forms for task delivery and execution, new calendar options, a process modeler/designer and support for several BPMN 1.0 standards.

According to Sanjay Shah, CEO, Skelta Software, "Skelta's support for the 2007 Microsoft Office system goes much beyond technical integration- new functionality planned for the product are designed to take full advantage of Vista's rich interfaces and capabilities of Office 2007. The release for 2007 Office has a strong emphasis on usability and aims to completely simplify process management for business users."
