nexusBPM is an open-source enhancement of JBoss's jBPM product suite. We have added many features to both the editor and the engine.
nexusBPM provides en enhanced editor experience with a variety of preconfigured nodes such as FTP, SQL, Excel and others. All nexusBPM nodes can participate in dataflow which is very easy to use. Using dataflow means that information created by one node can be used by another for processing, formatting, output or decision making. The nexusBPM editor can even communicate with the nexusBPM server andsupports drag and drop upload and download capabilities as well as remote run commands.
nexusBPM provides an enhanced engine with support for scheduling flows using quartz, executing nexusBPM nodes using message driven beans and custom commands.
Open Source the BPMspace product is free to use, open for extensions and independent of its owners
Agile BPMspace processes can be easily adapted to the frequent changes in real life
Relational BPMspace relates business process objects (of different kinds) to each other, similar to records in different tables of a relational database.
In contrast to most database applications, the BPMspace data model (ontology) can be extended at runtime, without development effort.
Business Process Warehouse BPMspace maintains a repository of integrated process data, available for all types of queries, analysis, monitoring and (business) performance management
Business process management (BPM) – while also its own independent practice / school of thought – is an application of technology that is served by many products, not the least of which is jBPM. The best definition of BPM that I've found is: "Business Process Management (BPM) is the concept of shepherding work items through a multi-step process. The items are identified and tracked as they move through each step, with either specified people or applications processing the information. The process flow is determined by process logic and the applications (or processes) play virtually no role in determining where the messages are sent.".
