Presenting SOPERA Intalio|BPM Adapter
Milestone!
Last week we had a very important milestone in the development of SOPERA Intalio|BPM Adapter: we published a Release Candidate for Version 1.0. Currently, it’s not available for the general public to download. Instead, we are going to install for selected customers who will work with it under constant supervision and monitoring from our Professional Services team members. However, in a few of weeks you will all be able to download the first release from our website.
Release 1.0
As you might have seen in our previous blogs there has been a delay in the planned release date of our first release candidate. One of the interesting aspects of our development scenario was that it was accomplished in close cooperation with our selected customers, which allowed us to build many more features that we had at first anticipated during the initial planning phase and this naturally ended up costing us more time. The time was well spent and I’m very satisfied with the result. SOPERA Intalio|BPM Adapter, Release 1.0 contains many useful features and provides a significantly better user experience than we had imagined at the beginning. We enhanced both the runtime and design aspects of Intalio|BPM. Now, BPM users can make the best use of all the benefits found in an enterprise-scale SOA platform provided by SOPERA.

SOPERA ASF and Intalio|BPM
SOPERA ASF and Intalio|BPM in SOPERA Intalio|BPM Adapter represents a uniquely well-integrated SOA BPM Suite which in spite of its being open-source can compete with commercial offerings from big software vendors like Oracle, IBM and Progress Software, to name a few.
Major Features and Enhancements
This post is the first post in a series in which I will shortly describe and demonstrate the major features and enhancements that were done for our Intalio|BPM Adapter project. I intend to cover these topics in my next blog posts:
- Using existing services in your BPMN diagrams, I will show you how to comfortably browse through services that are available in your SOA infrastructure and reuse them in your BPMN diagrams using the drag and drop menu option. I will also show you how different communication styles are used and how your process react to changes in underlying services.
- Exposing BPMN processes as a service provider - in this part of the presentation I will describe and show you the two ways in which you can expose BPMN processes as a service and make it available for reuse in other processes and applications. I will also discuss how to deploy it and what communication styles you can use with it.
So stay tuned!
