Agenda
Why there is need for BPM?
What do BPMS provide?
Bonita Open Solution: demo
Under the hood
Hands-on

BPM
Why? Imagine you are employed to sell vuvuzelas in South Africa. But your boss is on holidays, and you have no more vuvuzelas.

BPM
What a very bad day for your company! And all the people wanting your vuvzela...

BPM
Need for processes in your company You need to know what to do in such case. But it would be even easier if you wouldn't have to know the bigger picture

BPM
Business processes answer to questions such as:
“And now, what do I have to do?”
“How can I do that?”
“How am I expected to do that?
It is all about organization, and is clearly driven by business.

From BPM to BPMS I can automate that!

BPMS
Transform functional into technical
By uncoupling business logic from technical issues, BPMS provides agility to your business.
Improve your business processes is simply about editing a diagram and redeploying a file.
Improving business processes is transparent for people affected by this processes.

BPMS
BPMS facilitate communication and collaboration when implementing process-based applications.

BPMS
Open the doors to monitoring, reporting, business intelligence...

Under the hood

Big picture BOS Engine Bonita Studio User XP Applications

BOS Engine Je suis l'une des technologies utilisées dans le moteur de Bonita... …notamment pour la persistence des définitions de process, et des états de leurs instances. Je suis sans doute le framework de persistence ORM le plus utilisé dans le monde Java. Je suis, je suis...?

BOS Engine
The engine is basically an API to manipulate processes. (create, instantiate, execute)
It deals with persistence of process definitions and instances, and with execution of the flow.

BOS Engine
BOS Engine can be accessed locally or remotely, with the same code
Local bonita-server.jar Remote bonita-server.jar bonita-client.jar Application Server Client

BOS Engine
Bonita Engine can be embedded in your apps
Bonita-server and bonita-client are available as Maven artifacts on repo
It is distributed under LGPL v2.

Bonita Studio

Bonita Studio
The studio is an Eclipse RCP application. It contains the core of Eclipse, some other Eclipse projects, and a lot of Bonita specific plugins.
It relies on bonita engine for export.

User XP and process apps

User XP and process apps Which RIA framework is used for the web part? Google Web Toolkit !

User XP and process apps
The studio exports a forms.xml file that describe the form.
The process application reads this forms.xml to render it on the web, using GWT.

Product development - Roadmap & Tracking
Bonita Open Solution development follows Scrum methodology:
Sprints & Roadmap
Rigorous usage of a tracker
Backlogs & Burn-down

Product development - Continuous Integration
~1200 tests for each platform
22 dedicated cores are used for continuous build and testing.

Questions?
There are still some mugs !

And now
It's your turn!

Subject
Finally everything is fine with vuvuzelas, you successfully got some more! But you are now convinced with the benefits of BPM and Bonita. You want to propose to your boss a better process, a process that would handle the selling of a vuvuzela, with automatic re-supplying.
Try to use subprocesses, connectors, data,... and everything you want to!
