motion09 speaker Mark Coleran: Gridiron Flow
Recently, Gridiron Software (http://www NULL.gridironsoftware NULL.com/) officially launched Flow (http://www NULL.gridironsoftware NULL.com/products/flow NULL.html) – a visual workflow manager.

Because of this, the app was revamped to include workflows for many more disciplines – from design and illustration, to web and video.
