Intalio, Fuego Add BPM Standards To Support IDS Scheer
At its ProcessWorld 2004 conference in Miami this week, IDS Scheer North America shared some of that standing with two business-process management pure plays. The Berwyn, Pa.-based company announced tighter partnerships with BPM competitors Intalio and Fuego.
Both Intalio, San Mateo, Calif., and Fuego, Plano, Texas,. provide software to orchestrate complex business processes. As pure-play vendors, their offerings go beyond the BPM capabilities used by BEA Systems and IBM to integrate applications and processes.
"We can do integration if necessary, but most customers already have the integration part taken care of," said Neal Novotny, director of product marketing at Intalio. "But with orchestration, we tie different systems into a process, allow multiple processes within a company, handle nested processes and generate exception loops almost on the fly. A company that can most efficiently orchestrate its thousands of processes becomes a leader in its industry."
Under the agreement, both Intalio and Fuego will offer a variety of standards that make it easier to work with and complement IDS Scheer's Aris Toolset. Intalio now delivers native support of Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN)--enabling Intalio's software to directly execute Aris-generated models--and Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), an increasingly important standard for writing business processes.
Fuego said it will integrate Aris Toolset with its FuegoBPM software. In addition, Fuego introduce new products collectively called FuegoBPM for J2EE Application Servers.
Although Fuego previously supported J2EE, its new servers for WebSphere, WebLogic and JBoss are "100 percent deployed in and managed by" each of those application servers, the company said. Fuego also has added BPEL and BPMN support to its software.
