The Open Source BPMS Company, announced the release of Intalio|BPMS 4.3, the first Business Process Management System (BPMS) to support the BPMN, BPEL, and BPEL4People industry standards for BPM.

“The development and promotion of industry standards for BPM has always been a priority for our company," said Ismael Ghalimi, founder and CEO of Intalio. "This new release of our Open Source BPMS is the first to provide complete support for standards we co-authored with IBM and Microsoft, namely BPMN and BPEL. We're very proud of this accomplishment."

Intalio|BPMS 4.3 provides support for the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), which is developed by the Object Management Group (OMG). It enables business analysts and software architects to collaborate on the development of executable processes of arbitrary complexity. For example, the Dutch Government is using Intalio to manage a business process defined by over 250,000 independent steps.

Intalio|BPMS 4.3 supports version 1.1 of the BPMN specification, which was released earlier this year by the OMG. Intalio|BPMS 4.3 also provides support for the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), which is developed by OASIS and was co-authored by Assaf Arkin, Intalio's chief technology officer.

Through Intalio's Zero Code development approach, BPMN process models are automatically translated into BPEL processes that can orchestrate transactions with existing systems through a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and interactions with end-users through a Web-based workflow interface. For example, the Dutch Government is running over 250 million long-running process instances on Intalio|Server. Intalio|BPMS 4.3 supports both versions 1.1 and 2.0 of the BPEL specification.

Part of our decision to adopt Intalio|BPMS was its technical architecture and capabilities," said Natalie Watson, chief technology officer, OperMIX. "From modeling to execution, we were pleased to see that Intalio engineers decided to rely on many industry standards and Open Source building blocks. Our main challenge was to integrate the Intalio|Workflow (Project Tempo) with the Open Source LifeRay portal, our preferred portal framework. Tempo uses proven and well-known frameworks and standards, such as Spring, Web Flow, XForms, and AJAX.”
