Intalio Donates BPMN Modeler to Eclipse Foundation
Intalio, an Open Source Business Process Management System (BPMS) company has announced the donation of its BPMN process modeler to the Eclipse Foundation. The technology is now available under the Eclipse Public License (EPL) and is part of the SOA Tools Platform (STP) project.
This contribution follows Intalio's donation of its EMF model comparator to the Eclipse Foundation earlier this year. The STP BPMN Modeler is one of three contributions made by Intalio to build the first Open Source BPMS. It complements the BPEL Engine donated to the Apache Software Foundation and the Tempo BPEL4People workflow framework hosted on Intalio.org. All three components form the foundation for Intalio|BPMS, the first BPM solution to support a Zero-Code development model.
"While some BPM vendors give their proprietary process modeling tool away, but charge for the necessary runtime components, we make our entire product available for free and give away the source code under Open Source licenses for its most critical components," said Ismael Ghalimi, founder and CEO of Intalio. "Furthermore, the building blocks for Intalio|BPMS provide the most faithful implementations of relevant industry standards for BPM, namely BPMN, BPEL and BPEL4People."
"BPMN has become an important factor driving business-IT alignment," said Bruce Silver of BPMS Watch, "since it is intuitive enough to be used by business analysts, yet rich enough to generate powerful service-oriented implementations."
A tutorial for the STP BPMN Modeler will be presented by Hugues Malphettes, lead developer for Intalio|Designer, at EclipseCon 2007. The Modeler is available here.
