Our vision…

- State of the BPM market- Monolithic Workflow and BPM solutions

• « black box » based products

- Fragmentation around process definition languages: XPDL, BPEL…- Sole focus on the business analyst

- Freedom to workflow/BPM landscape:- Embeddability: « The multiple faces of workflow/BPM !»

• Standard vs Enterprise versions, workflow/BPM as a library, ESB integration, ECM/Portal…

- Extensibility: support for multiple process based languages• Not only BPEL, XPDL… but also Domain Specific Languages based on

graphs

- Pluggability: Services and nodes pluggability- Flexibility: Analyst and Developers collaboration

• Descriptive process models vs executable processes

Bull/OW2 and RedHat/JBoss collaboration

- Leading open source workflow/BPM communities behind “The Process Virtual Machine”

- We share the same vision on workflow and BPM- Next versions of our projects will be based on this common

technology: Bonita and Orchestra (Bull/OW2) and Jbpm (Redhat/JBoss)

- Share developments rather than develop twice !

- What’s next ?- Create mindshare around workflow and BPM developments- Open to other communities and companies to join- Java standardization
