The company said this means that FuegoBPM process developers now have more flexibility in how they integrate with their vendor-supplied and home-grown applications: indirectly through .NET Web Services or directly using the Component assemblies. The company said it is the first Java-based BPM platform to offer both options.
Fuego said with the latest version of its platform, FuegoBPM 5.5, it has also added the ability to define business rules using Microsoft Visual Basic .NET structures natively. It said the advantage here is that enabling analysts to create business rules in the language they are most comfortable with reduces training costs and errors.
Founded in 1999, Fuego is one of a large number of companies vying for attention in the emergent BPM market. It has taken on around $50m in venture capital funding from Trinity Ventures, Sevin Rosen Funds, Stephens Group, SSM Ventures and Star Ventures. It currently employs 110 people and is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
