Oracle Embraces BPM 2.0 Model
Thursday, August 3rd 2006 | Ismael Ghalimi
Yesterday, Oracle announced a partnership with IDS Scheer, adding the ARIS platform to Oracle’s BPM offering. From an industry standards prospective, this deals means that Oracle now supports both BPMN and BPEL, which are the cornerstones for the BPM 2.0 model.
Currently, Oracle does not offer a Zero Code and One Click Deploy path from BPMN processes modeled in ARIS to BPEL processes executed onto the Oracle Fusion middleware. Nevertheless, I must believe that such capabilities are on Oracle’s roadmap, and it’s only a matter of time before their aggressive marketing team starts promoting similar concepts. Note to Oracle’s marketing team: please do!
In the meantime, I am pleased to see Oracle adopting the two standards that can best define what BPM 2.0 is all about, in the shortest way possible. Including white spaces, ‘BPMN + BPEL’ has 11 characters. It’s catchy, unambiguous, and says it all. Now let’s see which vendor will be next.

And I would like to know whether SAP is afraid that Oracle could eventually acquire IDS Scheer, following the recent announcement of a partnership between the two companies. IDS Scheer ARIS is a key component of NetWeaver’s BPM offering, and losing it to Oracle would certainly not be a good thing for SAP and its customers. […]
[…] In an earlier Formtek blog I described and compared BPEL and BPMN 2.0 technologies and discussed how both are important to BPM. BPEL is a language that describes the flow and coordination of interactions between published business component interfaces. BPMN is a notational language that can graphically describe business processes. In the current spirit of all-things 2.0, Ismael Ghalimi even suggests that the next generation of BPM is a combination of these two: BPMN + BPEL = BPM 2.0. […]
