Open Workflows

Vantage Open Workflows enhance the processing speed of Vantage workflows by enabling most Actions to begin processing before the previous Action has completed. Specifically, Open Workflows are designed to remove the inherent latency that exists between actions within a Vantage workflow. By reducing the latency between actions within a workflow, more jobs can be submitted to the domain in the same period of time, thus providing greater utilization of Vantage nodes.
