uEngine6-BPM

The uEngine BPM project offers as open source a BPMS product that was previously accessible only through expensive licensing fees, together with training and consulting services for adopting it. This enables thorough training and internalization through a consulting-centered budget structure, faithful customization centered on customer requirements thanks to the availability of source code, and multiple service channels. Among the considerations for BPM adoption, the technical ones come down to how easily the product can be customized and how easily it can be integrated into your organization's system environment without undue burden. To achieve this customizability and low-risk integration, the uEngine BPMS architecture applies IoC (Inversion of Control), the approach of an "object-oriented component framework," and the concept of "design reuse." It provides component interfaces such as separation of org-chart lookup logic, componentized activity types, and listeners for engine events, forming a refined boundary between BPM hot-spot services (fixed parts) and frequently customized BPM elements (variable parts). As services of the fixed parts, it provides foundational capabilities such as automatic generation of activity component UIs via reflection, instance data management, MQ handling, and OLAP analysis, so developers can customize easily without ever having to worry about the underlying BPM technology. This approach applies the same approach already used by Spring Framework and various other frameworks to the domain of BPM-based system development, providing a technical foundation that dramatically reduces the risk of BPM products that are typically offered only as packages allowing Server/Client integration, and maximizes availability.
