The Insider's Guide to Next-Generation BPM
10/21/2003
Intalio, Inc., a Business Process Management company, has unveiled Intalio|n³ 2.5, a new version of the company’s Business Process Management System (BPMS).
Intalio says, “Intalio|n³ helps Global 2000 companies shift IT resources from operations to innovation, reduce the total cost of ownership of mission-critical process assets, and extend the best-practice processes engrained in packaged applications.”
Highlighting the new release of Intalio|n³ are the following enhancements, as described by Intalio
“Our work on Intalio|n³ reflects our unwavering commitment to meeting customers’ demands, adding capabilities through internal development, as well as partnering with industry leaders,” said Tom Meyer, chairman and CEO of Intalio. “With Intalio|n³ 2.5, we’ve extended our BPMS to give our customers unprecedented ability to create rich, process-driven user interfaces. We’ve also partnered with Corticon and Systinet to deliver a best-of-breed business rule engine and Web services platform, respectively.”
According to Gartner, “BRE technology is being included in the area of flow control represented by business process management technology, which is pervading many sectors as a compound market… There is an emerging concept that service-oriented architecture and its associated Web services also should include rules sensitivity.”* In the same report, Gartner listed Corticon in the visionary quadrant in the BRE market.
Intalio says, “The most compelling addition to Intalio|n³ is Page Designer, a WYSIWYG user interface development environment that lets business users define page layouts and build forms without doing any coding. Page Designer runs in a standard Web browser and enables drag-and-drop manipulation of a rich library of out-of-the-box user interface components, such as data tables, buttons, and form and navigational elements to compose sophisticated and highly interactive user interfaces in a building block fashion. The resulting user interfaces that leverage the power of Intalio’s XPage language can then be graphically bound to processes and backend systems in the Intalio|n3 Designer and deployed in Intalio|n³ Director.
“With an eye on the growing trend toward Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and process-based applications, the company has fully Web service-enabled Intalio|n³ with Systinet’s Web Applications and Services Platform (WASP). Systinet’s platform provides Web services interfaces to all Intalio|n3 components, making it easier to access processes and Intalio APIs using Web services.”
Commenting on Intalio|n³’s Web services integration, Roman Stanek, founder and CEO at Systinet added, “With our Web services infrastructure software embedded in Intalio’s BPMS, Intalio can provide its customers with a best-of-breed, standards-based Web services platform to support the latest versions of SOAP, WSDL, UDDI, WS-Security and other standards with industry-leading performance and interoperability.”
Intalio points out, “WASP also provides industry leading scalability and performance, and best-in-class interoperability with Microsoft .NET, IBM Web Services Toolkit, Apache SOAP/Axis and many other Web service frameworks.
“Finally, the company has partnered with Corticon to offer a business rule engine as an optional extension of Intalio|n³. Now, companies can externalize complex business rules from the process control flow, enabling users to easily change rules without having to modify and redeploy the entire process.”
Said Eric Kintzer, vice president of business development at Corticon, “By enhancing Intalio|n³ with Corticon, Intalio customers can more quickly get process advantage by further lowering transaction costs, increasing process quality, and reaching new levels of process agility, all driven by the business process owners."
“With the Corticon engine, business users have all the tools at hand to model and reuse rules, analyze, detect, and resolve business policy conflicts and loopholes, do analyst-driven testing, and lastly, deploy rules as decision-making Web services for incorporation into process definitions,” Intalio adds.
Intalio|n³ 2.5 will ship this quarter from Intalio.

Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform.
