Resource optimization capabilities introduced in latest JBoss BPM
Suite and JBoss BRMS releases
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today introduced a powerful new business resource planner as
part of the latest releases of Red
Hat JBoss BPM Suite and Red
Hat JBoss BRMS. The planner, based on the open source OptaPlanner
JBoss community project, is designed to help enterprises quickly and
efficiently address complex scheduling and resource planning challenges,
and increase operational adaptability in the face of rapidly changing
and unpredictable business environments.
Organizations of all sizes and across many industries must orchestrate
and plan daily business operations, such as scheduling, vehicle routing,
or timetabling. Many organizations must be able to cope with changing
and increasing demands on the business with a limited set of resources,
and quickly adapt plans when established processes are interrupted by
unanticipated resource changes.
"With a dramatically increasing volume of business requirements and
decreasing number of direct resources, development leaders are looking
for new methods that emphasize more modern approaches to application
development. These new approaches help boost developer productivity,
while also allowing the business to play a broader role in the
application development process." (Source: Forrester Technology Adoption

Red Hat's business resource planning technology helps enterprises use
limited resources in a more cost effective manner. Applying rules-based
technology in conjunction with business resource planning provides a
unique and powerful combination that allows for greater scale and
adaptability. The planner is included with a subscription to JBoss BRMS
at no additional cost. All of the resource planning and business rules
management components are included in Red Hat's business process
management offering, JBoss BPM Suite.
In addition to the business resource planner, the latest versions of
these products, JBoss BPM Suite 6.1 and JBoss BRMS 6.1, both available

collaboration tools, a realtime decision server, full support for
deployments on Red
Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, IBM WebSphere Application
Server and Oracle WebLogic Server, and certified integration with Red
Hat's lightweight application integration offering, JBoss
Fuse.
