Activiti BPM in Alfresco

Alfresco, the open platform for document and enterprise content management has launched a new workflow engine integrated business process management program called Activiti. This BPMN2.0 integration is fully compliant with industry standards and extends Alfresco’s workflow features that allow for more flexibility between Alfresco and other similar applications. The integration is offered through an update to the Alfresco Community and is available for immediate download.

By replacing jBPM with Activiti, this is just the beginning for bpm programs that signal the start of seamless integrated environments to combine enterprise content management, adaptive case management with the business process management. Alfresco sees this as a way to move business program management out of it’s nice and open it up to a larger range of users for greater innovations.

Activiti is a lightweight workflow platform designed to assist developers, system administrators and business users to deliver superbly effectively driven content within the Alfresco community. With the exceptionally quick and rock solid BPMN 2.0 Java based process engine, activiti provides users flexibility and more out of the box functionality with similar applications.

The preview release of Activiti will allow users to compare existing jBPM workflow while experimenting with the integration of other tools to create different workflow applications. This integration of Alfresco’s Activiti platform is a key factor for any organization wanting to review and approve content requiring complex processes such as contracts, budgets, press releases and sales forecasts. This empowers the document collaboration process without losing control oftraceability or the latest revision versions.

Activiti, allows developers to define new BPMN 2.0 workflow definitions and add them to Alfresco document centric process management. Organizations can, for the first time, leverage the standalone BPMN 2.0 engine within their own content repository platforms with the Alfresco integration system. Since its launch Activiti has worked as an independently run and branded open source project.

This type of flexible customization is exactly the type of services that can be found with Softbless. As Alfresco service provider and official Liferay partner in Indonesia(2011-2012), Softbless offers service and the ability to easily make enterprise content management adjustments all without the hassle of major technical modifications.

#CAS

authentication.chain=cas:external
