Today’s leading web applications are increasingly built on Web 2.0 principles: rich user interface, lightweight integration of multiple data sources, rapid evolution of applications, and user control over both content and context. Web 2.0 promises to expand the functionality of core business applications, knit together multiple services, and deliver a feature-rich user interface to enhance the customer experience and employee productivity.
Business processes optimization with service-enabled applications is on the CIO's high priority agenda (according to a recent study of Gartner's Executive Program - EXP). At the same time a German study for SMEs (small and medium sized enterprises) has confirmed this business need especially for Germany's distinct high share of SMEs.
AgilPro is a process integration framework based on a service oriented architecture (SOA). AgilPro integrates existing ERP (enterprise resource planning), material management and proprietary data processing systems using service adapters. Particularly SMEs are known to use isolated solutions which prevent integrated process flow. AgilPro Integration Framework will help to close this gap.
AgilPro integrates BPEL compliant process engines for process execution (e.g. JBoss jBPM).
Dopus is a Docbook publishing framework. It was designed with portability and extensibility in mind. Dopus can run on any Windows or Unix platform that supports Java.
Dopus was developed during a project for T-Systems Germany. T-Systems generously agreed to open source the newly developed parts of Dopus (Ant script and Docbook customization layer) for which we are very gratefull.
We have agreed to host Dopus here on our website as a free product we want to give back to the Docbook community. The Dopus framework is distributed under the GNU General Public License. The various parts of the Dopus framework are distributed under their respective (free) licenses.
Dopus is still pretty young but is already used in various projects.
