My company is looking to ditch sharepoint as a CMS and pick a new system. It's between sitecore, sitefinity and umbraco right now. I think we will go towards umbraco due to cost.
My question is, how hard is it to extend umbraco to do custom workflow? We would want multi-level approval for publish with some if/then branches for who it would go to. Nothing to terrible complex but I don't think umbraco offers this out of the box.
Approval process for documents is available oob, albeit in very *light* version. Extending umbraco to do custom workflow is possible and would require some development skills. I've seen some tweets about @darrenferguson who's currently working on a package to support workflow foundation from within umbraco, so if that's what you're looking for, get in touch with him.
Umbraco Workflow
Hello all, Umbraco Newbie here.
My company is looking to ditch sharepoint as a CMS and pick a new system. It's between sitecore, sitefinity and umbraco right now. I think we will go towards umbraco due to cost.
My question is, how hard is it to extend umbraco to do custom workflow? We would want multi-level approval for publish with some if/then branches for who it would go to. Nothing to terrible complex but I don't think umbraco offers this out of the box.
Bonus points for any resources/examples of this.
Thanks!

Daren, if you're listening, any progress? We are at the point of needing to determine our workflow and approval process.
