BPM Beyond Web Services

Kai Wähner, IT Consultant, MaibornWolff

Business Process Management (BPM) is an emerging approach to optimize business processes and increase efficiency. Today, interfaces are usually specified through Web Service standards. The limitation is unflexible and insufficient. This session shows the powerful combination of two open source products: Activiti for BPM and the integration framework Apache Camel. This combination allows to model and realize BPM. While the model and execution base on the new BPMN 2.0 standard, the integration of every thinkable technology besides Web Services, such as FTP, JMS, cloud services, and many more, is supported by Apache Camel. Even automatic testing is included.
