Belgium Government Goes Open Source with Intalio
September 17, 2007
PALO ALTO, Calif. September 17, 2007 Intalio, Inc., the Open Source BPMS Company, today announced that its open source Business Process Management Suite has been successfully deployed by the Belgium Ministry of Education in order to manage over one million student records. The project was led by the Belgium subsidiary of Bull Group and by ETNIC, the Information Technology agency of the Belgium French Community.
"Intalio understood our objectives rapidly. They satisfied our requirements for functionality, performance, and technical integration," said Pierre Mine, Bull Belgium sales manager. "Intalio|BPMS was the tool we needed to handle our most complex processes, and Intalio provided remarkable support for problem solving on a daily basis."
The application developed by Bull connects nearly 3,000 schools to a centralized administration system in order to facilitate student registrations. It is now deployed in production and is one of the largest deployments of Intalio|BPMS, the leading open source BPM suite. Students can expect a dramatic decrease in registration response time, with support for real-time validation processes.
In order to support such a project, Bull and Intalio worked together to make Intalio|Server the fastest BPEL engine currently available on the market, capable of handling over 10 million transactions per day on a single CPU.
"Intalio initially joined this project as a support player, but quickly became a major actor. Intalio|BPMS tied our ESB (ServiceMix) to our business application. Their help was crucial in this mission critical environment," said Lilian Duchene, ETNIC technical support SOA manager. "As far as I know, Intalio's level of service is unprecedented."
"Following our landmark success with the Dutch Government, this new BPM project confirms Intalio's leadership in the public sector," said Ismael Ghalimi, Intalio founder and CEO. "The combination of an open source business model and the unmatched scalability of our standards-based BPM suite makes Intalio|BPMS the obvious choice for large and complex government processes."
