Intalio Plans To Release BPM Tools As Open SourceIntalio Plans To Release BPM Tools As Open Source

Intalio plans to release its business process management tools under an open source license.

The Redwood City, Calif., company said Tuesday it plans to offer the BPMS Community Edition under the Mozilla Public License starting in the first quarter of 2007. The suite includes an Eclipse-based business process design tool that supports the business process modeling notation (BPMN) standard.

In addition, the Intalio software generates executable processes using business process execution language, a BPEL engine that can be deployed on top of a Java 2 Enterprise Edition application server, and a workflow framework that supports the BPEL4People model developed by IBM and SAP.

Besides the Community Edition, Intalio offers the BPMS Enterprise Edition through an annual subscription plan that includes support, patch updates, and a open source indemnification program. Intalio develops BPMS, which stands for Business Process Management Solutions, through its own open source community.
