Why?
Imagine you are
employed in a Mc
Lorrain.
But the cooker is ill, and
you don’t know how to
cook “quiche lorraine”.

And all the people wanting to eat “quiche
lorraine”...

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.

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...?
