Demand Driven Development Enables Syndication of Product Development
PALO ALTO, Calif. - September 13, 2007 - Intalio, Inc., The Open Source BPMS Company, today announced the signing of its twelfth project to be developed through its innovative Demand Driven Development (D3) process. The project will deliver a new Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) framework which will be integrated into the next release of Intalio|BPMS.
Intalio's Demand Driven Development process enables customers and partners to syndicate funding for the development of additional features and components of the Intalio open source BPM suite. Projects are submitted by members of the Intalio community, scoped by Intalio's team of software architects, and implemented by a selected group of offshore development partners. To date, eleven projects have been completed through the D3 process, including a graphical XML Schema editor built for Eclipse, multi-channel workflow notifications, customizable workflow alert escalation, an advanced JDBC connector, and a new connector for the SAP family of enterprise applications.
The development of the new BAM framework will be funded by AMSI, Con Edison, the State of Pennsylvania, Synergetics, and WellCare; and is the largest D3 project undertaken to date, with several man-years worth of development being funded by a group of five customers and partners spread across three continents and coming from five different vertical industries.
"We need to monitor processes and key performance indicators for the management of schools. These processes can be large and complex, especially when adhering to a set of standards and critical success criteria," said Ziad El Maamoun, director of excellence and compliance at AMSI, Dubai. "In order to achieve this goal, AMSI decided to deploy Intalio's Business Process Management Suite and actively engage in the financing of its new BAM framework. This will allow us to deploy a centralized and consolidated business intelligence system that will enhance communication related to key performance."
"Demand Driven Development is a great idea. It allows us to share development costs with many other customers and partners," said Luk Vervenne, Synergetics CEO. "At Synergetics, we are using the D3 process to accelerate the development of features that are important to our customers."
