Abstract
An information processing apparatus sequentially executing one or more processes of a workflow on an input document includes: a workflow-information storage unit storing workflow information; a result storage unit storing a process result; a workflow control unit receiving workflow identification information for identifying the workflow and acquiring workflow information from the workflow-information storage unit on the basis of the workflow identification information; and a result acquiring unit acquiring the process result from the result storage unit based on the result identification information when the workflow information acquired by the workflow control unit includes the result identification information. The workflow control unit acquires the process result from the result acquiring unit and transmits the process result to an apparatus that executes a process subsequent to a process corresponding to the process result in the workflow in order to execute the workflow from a process in the middle of the workflow.
