Staffware, the founder and market leader of the business process automation industry, has joined the Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI.org), and the Universal Description, Discovery and Integration Project (UDDI). Both organizations are at the forefront of driving industry standards in the eBusiness environment.
The BPMI is an initiative focused on creating open specification for eBusiness process management. Its mission is to promote and develop the use of Business Process Management through the establishment of standards for process design, deployment, execution, maintenance and optimization.
The UDDI is an 18-month initiative to define a set of specifications aimed to ameliorate the use of B2B and commerce over the Internet by businesses. It does this by defining how companies can expose their business applications as Web services. This direct application-to-application integration over the Internet will play an important role in the transformation of businesses over the next decade, as supported by Gartner
Jon Pyke, Chief Technology Officer of Staffware comments: For several years, Staffware has been a pioneer in the world of Business Process Automation software and has been an active participant in standards setting organizations such as the Workflow Management Coalition – WfMC.
We strongly believe that the development of open standards is the key to the continued growth and success of this area of technology and we are pleased to join like-minded organizations in jointly developing and establishing open standards for the management of mission critical business processes across the Internet, he continued.
