"Thanks to a truly open development process and a relentless quest toward technical excellence, the Eclipse Foundation has established its platform as the standard development tool for any IT shop today," said Ismael Ghalimi, founder and chief executive of Intalio, in a statement.
"The donation of our BPMN process modeler to the STP project will make this fantastic tool a viable option to a growing community of business analysts, thereby contributing to bridge the gap that still exists between business and IT."
Intalio officials said the STP BPMN modeler is one of three contributions the company has made to build the first open-source BPMS. It complements the BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) engine Intalio donated to the Apache Software Foundation and the Tempo BPEL4People workflow framework hosted on Intalio.org. All three components form the foundation for Intalio BPMS, a BPM solution that supports a Zero-Code development model.
