Accessing Existing Data and Business Logic from new Business Process

Intalio and Risaris have teamed up to show how new Business Process Managment (BPM) implementations written using Intalio's BPM suite, and the SOA Gateway from Risaris, can access existing data or business logic. This ensures that new BPM implementations can work side by side with existing manual processes such that they can be used interchangeably until the eventual phasing out of the manual processes which provides many advantages. Learn more here.

The first results of this effort is a tutorial which uses community editions of both Intalio and the SOA Gateway to make existing COBOL business logic available to a new process. This is available on the Intalio Community site here (registration required). In addition, a paper describing this may be found here.

Future tutorials will show how to access CICS, Natural or other business logic or databases such as DB2, Oracle, VSAM, ADABAS and so on from the Intalio Suite. If you wish to see advance notice of such tutorials, please contact us on info@soagateway.com.

This illustrates how standards ensure that best of breed products in their class can work together through the use of open standards.
