An approach is provided for remote workflow management. The workflow repository, management and monitoring is performed from a remote facility while the resources that are required to execute the workflow may be in a completely different network. The resources of a subscriber network are identified.
An approach is provided for remote workflow management. The workflow repository, management and monitoring is performed from a remote facility while the resources that are required to execute the workflow may be in a completely different network. The resources of a subscriber network are identified. The identified resources are registered within a repository, wherein the repository is maintained by a service provider. The repository is configured to store rules for allocating the identified resources according to the defined business process flow. The allocated resources are applied to a workflow.

1. A method comprising: identifying network resources of a remote subscriber network, wherein network resources are media, multimedia, video or digital contents;registering the identified network resources within a repository maintained by a single service provider, wherein registering the identified network resources includes registering, for each resource, information regarding physical location, access parameters which define the accessing levels, resource parameters such as codec, frame rate, frame size, bit rate, and availability schedule;generating a workflow definition in the repository conforming with the requirements of the registered identified network resources, wherein the workflow definition defines steps of a business process flow, and wherein the business process flow specifies activities relating to video processing including enable editing and delivering video content from a video server at the repository to authenticated subscribers;allocating a set of business rules corresponding to the authenticated subscribers for the registered identified network resources in accordance with respective requirements of the remote subscriber network; andapplying the allocated network resources to the authenticated subscribers, corresponding to the workflow definition, of the remote subscriber network. 2. A method according to claim 1, further comprising: establishing a secure connection to the remote subscriber network for registering the identified network resources. 3. A method according to claim 1, further comprising: monitoring the resources; andupdating the repository based on the monitoring step. 4. A method according to claim 1, further comprising: instructing a first one of the resources to transfer a task specified by the workflow to a second one of the resources based on the identified resources. 5. A method according to claim 1, further comprising: defining the steps of identifying, registering and applying as a service;tracking usage of the service; andgenerating billing information based on tracked usage. 6. A method according to claim 1, wherein information of the resources includes location, access parameters, programs, resource parameters, and availability schedules. 7. A method according to claim 1, further comprising: communicating with a portal that is configured to receive user input relating to the workflow. 8. A system comprising: a repository maintained by a single service provider; anda workflow system including a processor and being configured to identify one or more network resources of a remote subscriber network, wherein network resources are media, multimedia, video or digital contents, to register the identified network resources within the repository, wherein to register the identified network resources includes to register, for each resource, information regarding physical location, access parameters which define the accessing levels, resource parameters such as codec, frame rate, frame size, bit rate, and availability schedule, to generate a workflow definition in the repository conforming with the requirements of the registered identified network resources, wherein the workflow definition defines steps of a business process flow, and wherein the business process flow specifies activities relating to video processing including enable editing and delivering video content from a video server at the repository to authenticated subscribers, to allocate a set of business rules corresponding to the authenticated subscribers for the registered identified network resources in accordance with respective requirements of the remote subscriber network, and to apply the allocated network resources to the authenticated subscribers, corresponding to the workflow definition, of the remote subscriber network. 9. A system according to claim 8, wherein a secure connection is established with the remote subscriber network for registering the identified network resources. 10. A system according to claim 8, wherein the workflow system is further configured to monitor the resources, and to update the repository based on the monitoring of the resources. 11. A system according to claim 8, wherein the workflow system is further configured to instruct a first one of the resources to transfer a task specified by the workflow to a second one of the resources based on the identified resources. 12. A system according to claim 8, wherein usage of the workflow system is tracked, and billing information is generated based on tracked usage. 13. A system according to claim 8, wherein information of the resources includes location, access parameters, programs, resource parameters, and availability schedules. 14. A system according to claim 8, wherein the workflow system is further configured to communicate with a portal that is configured to receive user input relating to the workflow.
