Extreme Workflow Composer (EWC)

Extreme Workflow Composer (EWC) is the commercial solution available from Extreme and based on the open-source project Stackstorm. In 2020, Extreme Networks also donated their Extreme Workflow Composer to the Linux Foundation, thus allowing the StackStorm community to integrate its features in the core StackStorm product.
