Summary/Abstract: Workflow Systems become a useful tool that any SMEs may choose to use in the business processes support. The article is the result of a thorough literature review regarding workflow systems, a new and very interesting theme. Taking in count thee static and dynamic aspects of a workflow system and their advantages we applied the technology on a data structure regarding Romanian SMEs. The data structure contains financialeconomic information of a representative sample of Romanian SMES, such as return of investments, turnover, and net profit, number of employees, current assets, fixed assets, inventories, receivables, debts, total capital, total incomes, and total expenses. In our case study we created a workflow system for the Romanian SMEs interaction in a Network Business Environment. The workflow surprise the: order - invoice reference – product delivery - payment registration - sending invoice process between two SMEs. Through our case study we showed how important is to use this technology in processing data, rather than using a general programming language (e.g. Java, C++) or any ORM tool (e.g. Hibernate).
