Oracle is well known as a world leader in database management and enterprise application software, and more recently as a leading supplier of application server and integration middleware. Following the acquisition of Collaxa in 2004, Oracle BPEL Process Manager became one of the most widely used standards-based process orchestration tools and a central component of the company’s SOA Suite, part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware platform. Still, the company was not ready to claim it offered a true BPMS until the announcement of Oracle BPA Suite in 2006, based on an OEM version of IDS Scheer’s ARIS platform with Oracle SOA extensions. Oracle’s BPM Solution, announced in Q3 2007 and reviewed here, combines BPA Suite and SOA Suite linked by shared metadata to support business-IT alignment and collaboration in the process lifecycle. In addition, Oracle provides supporting infrastructure for a complete BPM solution, including a portal for collaboration and performance dashboards in Oracle WebCenter, content and image management, and BPM-enabling Oracle applications via industry-specific process templates and Oracle’s Application Integration Architecture
