Intalio and Alfresco Integrate BPM Suite with Enterprise Content Management
Intalio, an Open Source BPMS company, has announced a partnership with Alfresco Software, the Open Source alternative for Enterprise Content Management. The integrated offering of Intalio|BPMS and Alfresco ECM aims to allow users to manage advanced document-centric workflow processes and support the collaborative development of complex business processes.
"Our partnership with Alfresco serves as a foundation for building BPM into something larger – a true Business Process Platform (BPP)," states Intalio CEO and Founder, Ismael Ghalimi.
According to the company, document-centric workflow processes provide for automation of business communications, allowing documents to be transmitted to the right people based on complex rules. For example, insurance companies can use workflow processes to handle end-to-end policy management processes and provide better visibility to customers regarding the processing of claims. The integrated solution also allows Business and IT to collaboratively document complex business processes, making it easier to understand business requirements and the rational behind new procedures.
The Alfresco integration project was funded under the Demand Driven Development (D3) model introduced by Intalio in 2006, which allows customers to direct Intalio's product development roadmap in specific directions, then participate in the overall development process through syndicated funding.
