In today’s fast-paced business environment, the ability to streamline operations and enhance efficiency is more crucial than ever. At Nintex, we understand the importance of continuous innovation to empower our users with the best tools for optimizing their business processes. We are thrilled to announce a game-changing feature that seamlessly bridges the gap between traditional process mapping and modern process automation: The ability to import Microsoft Visio files and create BPMN process models directly within Nintex.   Elevating Process Mapping to New Heights Microsoft Visio has long been a staple for professionals across various industries to diagram complex processes and systems.

Built-in data storage capabilities streamline building workflows in Nintex Automation Cloud We are thrilled to announce the beta release of Nintex Automation Cloud Tables, providing a centralized, scalable way to store, manage, and connect process-related data across business-critical applications.

I cant stress enough how excited I am about this new groundbreaking feature! Ok, you're probably wondering what's with all the puns, and if you weren't before, now it's probably shaking out. Complex Object support has been on the minds of most users building Xtensions since we released the Nintex Xtensions framework several years ago. With this 'earth shaking' release, and my love for puns, what better way to celebrate than building an Xtension with Seismic (API for reference). If you are just here f
