Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite enables businesses to automate processes and
decisions, and respond to changing market conditions more quickly and
easily
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced the industry's most comprehensive open source
business process management suite, Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite 6, which
includes the next version of its business rules platform, JBoss BRMS 6.
With JBoss BPM Suite 6, Red Hat brings a unique combination of business
process management (BPM), business rules management (BRM) and complex
event processing (CEP) technologies together in a single product
offering.
JBoss
BPM Suite is a platform for business process management that
includes all the capabilities of JBoss BRMS and adds support for
modeling, automation, simulation, and monitoring of business processes. JBoss
BRMS is a platform for business rules management and complex event
processing that is used to host an organization's business rules and to
make business decisions based on those rules, as an alternative to
coding them directly in applications. The complementary technologies
help organizations respond to changing market conditions faster and
easier through advanced decision and process automation capabilities,
and empower business users to make the necessary changes without
requiring IT to manually rewrite application code.
Organizations are under constant pressure to remain competitive and
compliant in a rapidly-changing business environment. Manually
incorporating changes into critical IT applications can be costly and
time consuming, and can introduce the risk of error and inconsistency.
BPM and BRM systems play a critical role in automating workflows to
maintain consistent and accurate decisions throughout an organization.
By creating an environment in which business and IT users can
collaborate quickly and effectively, these systems improve the ability
of a business to quickly incorporate changes into their application
infrastructure.
JBoss BPM Suite enables organizations to focus on helping customers and
grow their business by providing:
-
Visibility: JBoss BPM Suite and JBoss BRMS enable organizations
to gain better visibility into how their business is functioning,
identify where bottlenecks may be occurring, and determine what they
can do to improve the way the organization works.
-
Business Agility: With JBoss BPM Suite, business users can own,
manage and change processes, rules and policies in response to
changing market conditions, allowing the organization to respond
faster and compete more effectively.
-
Consistency: Manual intervention in business processes and
decision management can lead to inconsistent outcomes and high labor
costs. Modern enterprises cannot leave critical business decisions to
chance. JBoss BPM Suite and JBoss BRMS help organizations execute key
processes and decisions the same way, every time.
Business rules management is often deployed in conjunction with BPM to
provide decision management in the context of business processes, and
JBoss BPM Suite 6 incorporates all of the features found in JBoss BRMS
6. Highlights include:
-
Advanced business user tools: With tooling that makes rule and
process definitions visible and understandable, JBoss BPM Suite 6
helps business experts apply their domain knowledge directly to the
models. These tools include a drag and drop BPMN2 process modeler, a
graphical data modeler, and business activity monitoring (BAM)
dashboards and reports, in addition to rule authoring and management
tools also included in JBoss BRMS 6.
-
Powerful integration: JBoss BPM Suite combines the powerful
runtime rule engine and CEP features from JBoss BRMS with a business
process execution server capable of supporting a variety of workload
needs. Combining these technologies into a single, comprehensive
offering provides efficient integration and a seamless user
experience, ultimately allowing organizations to go to market faster
with new products and services.
-
Flexible deployment options: JBoss BPM Suite 6 and JBoss BRMS 6
can be deployed on physical, virtual and cloud environments. Both
products can leverage JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6
clustering to meet scalability and high availability deployment needs.
JBoss BPM Suite 6 and JBoss BRMS 6 are compatible with
platform-as-a-service (PaaS) environments, such as OpenShift by Red
Hat, and provide the foundation for bpmPaaS as part of Red
Hat JBoss xPaaS services for OpenShift.
Availability
JBoss BPM Suite 6 and JBoss BRMS 6 are available globally.

management and decision support, simulation to test assumptions, and
performance feedback upon execution to prove results. Doing so requires
integrated frameworks such as Red Hat's JBoss BPM Suite to enable
consistent and reliable outcomes."
