Infosys develops new process engine

BANGALORE: Infosys Technologies has successfully developed a process engine to demonstrate Business Process Modeling Language (BPML) technology. Code-named Choreo, the process engine developed by Infosys is built on open standards and can be used for deploying and executing BPML processes. It consists of a BPML code repository and a BPML runtime environment that supports dynamic monitoring and control of processes.

BPML is a specification for modeling end-to-end business processes from the Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI.org), the leading standards consortium for Business Process Management (BPM). It provides an abstract executable model that addresses all aspects of enterprise business processes. Using BPML, companies can better align their IT with business by gaining visibility into real-time business operations, flexibility to design and deploy dynamic business processes, and agility to collaborate with partners over extended value chains.

"Business Process Management, as envisioned by BPMI.org, is a paradigm shift that has far reaching implications for enterprises," said Infosys Chief Operating Officer S Gopalakrishnan. "The trend is gaining industry mind-share rapidly and it is predicted to become a key feature of enterprise IT systems in the future. Through its membership in BPMI.org, Infosys is contributing to the evolution of this trend which has the potential to transform businesses and provide competitive differentiation."

"With this implementation, Infosys joins a growing number of software vendors and consulting firms that are demonstrating BPML and deploying it within production environments," said, BPMI.org Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer Ismael Ghalimi. "Implementations such as Infosys' dramatically contribute to the rapid establishment of BPML as the de-facto standard for business process modeling and validate BPMI.org's commitment to the development of open and royalty-free standards for business process management."
