Devfarm Software’s mission is to build world-class products to simplify and automate the daily activities of IT administrators. Devfarm Software’s flagship product, PowerWF Studio delivers on this dream by leveraging Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows PowerShell to innovate in the areas of administration, virtualization, service desk, and monitoring.
PowerWF is a unique authoring tool that turns Windows PowerShell commands into toolbox items that can easily be used to create powerful workflows. PowerWF can convert existing Windows PowerShell scripts into workflows which can then be extended by using Windows PowerShell and non-Windows PowerShell activities. PowerWF includes a workflow debugger, which enables easier creation and testing of workflows that leverage Windows PowerShell. By using a workflow and Windows PowerShell together, administrators can accomplish simple tasks (such as creating standalone executable programs) to more advanced tasks (such as creating and deploying rich management packs for System Center Service Manager and System Center Operations Manager. These tasks are possible by using Windows PowerShell or by leveraging the drag-and-drop workflow design surface.

PowerSE is a best-in-class, free Windows PowerShell script editor that can be downloaded by itself or as part of the PowerWF package where it is included automatically. PowerSE has all the features expected in high-end script editors like color syntax highlighting, tab completion, and deep Intellisense of Windows PowerShell, WMI, and .NET. But what truly makes PowerSE special, is how it helps you learn and use Windows PowerShell faster. Smart command-line Help is there when you need it. A detailed command history shows execution time and success or failure, and there is a detailed variable inspection window. A seamless blending of these features with a syntax editor and a Windows PowerShell command console allow you to make the most of your time with Windows PowerShell.
