Community site launches in Japan to build and share BPMS skills

PALO ALTO, CA — Feb. 19, 2008 — Intalio, Inc., the leading Open Source BPMS company, and IT Frontier Corporation, a Japan-based systems integrator, today announced the creation of the Intalio Japanese Community (http://oss-bpms.jp/). The community is designed to bring together experts to share best practices in building Business Process Management Systems, supply documentation and training, and allow users to download the free Intalio|BPMS Community Edition localized in Japanese.

Intalio released the English version of their community site, the Intalio Community (http://bpms.intalio.com) in April of 2006. Now with over 30,000 members, the site has provided an essential resource for BPMS professionals worldwide. The partnership with IT Frontier gives the Japanese community a local company with extensive experience in IT services combined with the premier Open Source vendor in BPMS. The next training session in Japan will be hosted in Tokyo on March 4-5, 2008. For more information please visit http://www.intalio.com/training/Tokyo.

“Working with IT Frontier gives us a partner that understands the needs of the local community,” notes Ismael Ghalimi, Intalio founder and CEO. “Moreover, IT Frontier has spent the last seven years at the forefront of helping major companies in key industries realize increases in production, while reducing costs through better management of their IT services — a goal that aligns well with the values on which Intalio was founded.”

Intalio|BPMS Community Edition supports the BPMN and BPEL industry standards, while Intalio|BPMS Enterprise Edition embeds a Document Management System (DMS), an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), Portal, and a Business Rules Engine (BRE) to provide the most complete Open Source BPMS solution available. Now over 25,000 individual organizations are using Intalio|BPMS Community Edition, and more than 300 companies are subscribing to Intalio's training and support services.

“Intalio is the pioneer in BPMS,” commented Yoshiki Yamaguchi, BPM/SOA team manager at IT Frontier. “Its business model has great potential to be widely accepted in the Japanese marketplace. We at IT Frontier saw that setting up an Intalio community for exchanging information would be an effective way to promote BPMS in Japan. We expect that BPMS professionals will be very excited, and the community will grow exponentially over the next year.”
