Red Hat launches open source BPM suite

• JBoss BPM Suite 6 enables businesses to automate processes and decisions
• Allows them to respond to changing market conditions more quickly and easily

RED Hat Inc has announced an 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.
 
JBoss BPM Suite 6 brings a unique combination of BPM, business rules management (BRM) and complex event processing (CEP) technologies together in a single product offering, Red Hat said in a statement.
 
JBoss BPM Suite is a platform for BPM that includes all the capabilities of JBoss BRMS and adds support for modelling, automation, simulation, and monitoring of business processes, the company said.
 
JBoss BRMS itself is a platform for business rules management and complex event processing that is used to host an organisation’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 organisations 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, Red Hat claimed.
 
“We have steadily built out the Red Hat JBoss Middleware portfolio over the years, adding pieces to help our customers on their own journey of creating more integrated, intelligent and innovative application ecosystems,” said Mike Piech, general manager of middleware at Red Hat.
 
“JBoss BPM Suite is the apogee of our open source enterprise application development portfolio, and [this] launch marks a milestone in our middleware strategy of delivering a comprehensive platform that empowers developers and business users alike to innovate and compete,” he added.
 
Organisations are under constant pressure to remain competitive and compliant in a rapidly-changing business environment, the company said. 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 organisation.
 
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, it added.
 
JBoss BPM Suite 6 and JBoss BRMS 6 are available globally.
