What is Simulation?
A simulation is an imitation of something real, an imitation of something out there in the world or something destined to be part of reality. A simulation tries to pick the salient facts about the system and attempts to mirror how the actual system will behave. It's an artifact used to study the real world.
Process modeling tools and BPM products on the market today often provide such simulation for processes. Simulation as a discipline is being marketed as the best way to determine the business benefits one can expect from implementing a given process. The idea is that by using simulation, one can get a sense of those benefits before any expensive implementation work is done. The better simulation tools allow the designer to try different scenarios and look at the theoretical outcome of the process model.
Why simulate when you can run the real thing?
Today, Intalio|BPMS provides something better, something more realistic than simulation, a technology we call Real Run. With Intalio Real Run the process flow is no longer simulated but rather the actual code that will power the proposed solution is being executed on the real server platform. This superior capability is only possible due to the unique technology that Intalio|Designer relies on. Intalio|Designer generates executable processes directly from a BPMN diagram. No other product can do this today. Not one.
So what's the difference?
When you neglect the implementation aspect, you only look at one side of a complex problem. It is like planning to climb K2 without taking into account what equipment you have at your disposal. Not a good idea.
Today's competing process modeling and simulation tools do not provide the ability to generate, deploy, and run executable processes. Consequently, vendors can realistically only target business analysts, thereby introducing severe limitations on the technical side. Processes are modeled as theoretical abstracts removed from the very real technical considerations that can often make or break the system. As a result, only the model will meet the business objectives and requirements. What execution it will lead to is left open for anyone to guess.
This is clearly sub-optimal. Technical constraints often require process modeling changes. A real dialog, with a common view between the process owner and the IT implementor, is needed.
Real Run means No Handover and Continuous Collaboration
The challenge is to reduce differences between the early drafts, made by business process analysts, and the final solution, as implemented by IT. Continuous collaboration is needed; specification handover will not work. Intalio has solved this.
Our Real Run technology enables true continuous collaboration between the two parties: both have the same view, have access to the same components, and see that same results. Business analysts and IT engineers use the same Intalio|Designer tool, allowing them to collaborate more efficiently across what used to be two different worlds. With Intalio Real Run technology, the split between the model and the real thing goes away.

Introduction
Intalio|BPMS is designed to be part of a Service Oriented Architecture, or to be its enabling platform. At its core, Intalio|BPMS is built around the WS-BPEL industry standard, which relies on Web Services for integration with any third party system. In order to support the broadest set of standards for Web Services and Service Oriented Architecture, Intalio|BPMS is also built on top of a strong Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) foundation — Mule and ServiceMix. The later provides supports for the Java Business Integration (JBI) platform.

“It would not surprise me if Intalio has the fastest BPEL engine hands-down.”
—Jeff Schneide, MomentumSI
Intalio|BPMS is a standards-based BPMS aimed at business analysts and process analysts. It supports a Zero Code development methodology, and a One Click Deploy deployment model. By comparison, JBoss jBPM is a proprietary workflow framework aimed at J2EE experts, and requires significant amounts of complex Java code to be written for implementing even the most simple processes. The following table illustrates in more details how these two products differ from each other:
Intalio|BPMS 4.0 is architected around three main ideas: support the latest industry standards for BPM, offer a zero code development approach and provide a one-click deployment life cycle. In other words, Intalio|BPMS 4.0 defines the state of the art for BPM and continues on Intalio’s original mission to set the standard for BPM.
Intalio|Designer
Intalio|Designer is an Eclipse-based integrated development environment for BPMN business processes. Business analysts and software engineers can both use Intalio|BPMS, because it’s the easiest way we found to bridge the gap between business and IT. Also, since it offers zero code development and one-click deployment, you do not have to be a J2EE guru or an XML expert to use it, and if you are one anyway, you will find in Intalio|Designer a formidable productivity enhancer.
Intalio|Server
Intalio|Server is a native BPEL 2.0 process server based on J2EE. Because it is architected around the new Java Business Integration (JBI) technology, it can be deployed on virtually any J2EE application server. Our process server was designed from the ground-up to be deployed on a grid of 1,000 servers by the US Department of Energy (DOE), so if your project requires high-performance process execution, you might have just found what you were looking for.
Intalio|Workflow
Intalio|Workflow is an integrated human workflow suite based on the new BPEL4People extensions and compatible with any JSR 168 portal. Because it offers an AJAX-based XForms implementation, it gives workflow participants a productive and engaging user experience, while remaining compatible with any major web browser in use today. Our workflow suite is directly powered by our process server, allowing you to develop your own workflow patterns.
Intalio|BPMS has the richest feature set currently available from any BPMS. Nevertheless, should you require any additional feature, please feel free to submit your request through our Demand Driven Development process, and we will do our best to make it part of our product roadmap.
Intalio|BPMS is not your traditional BPM product. In fact, it's so different that we had to create a new category for it. We call it BPM 2.0. What follows is a list of attributes and benefits that define a BPMS ready for BPM 2.0.

Intalio|Workflow is an integrated human workflow suite based on the new BPEL4People extensions and compatible with any JSR 168 portal. Because it offers an AJAX-based XForms implementation, it gives workflow participants a productive and engaging user experience, while remaining compatible with any major web browser in use today. Our workflow suite is directly powered by our process server, allowing you to develop your own workflow patterns.
AJAX User Interface
Intalio|Workflow supports the execution of BPEL4People activities through AJAX user interfaces that are automatically generated by an XForms engine. As a result, human participants can use any web browser to get their work done in the most productive manner. Our XForms implementation complies to the latest W3C XForms 1.0 specification and our AJAX user interfaces offers the same level of interactivity that we all got used to with online services such as Gmail.
Portal Integration
Intalio|Workflow can be deployed on top of any existing portal thanks to its support for the JSR 168 specification. User task lists and lists of deployed processes can be displayed as portlets, while tasks can be registered onto third-party work managers such as SAP’s Universal Work List (UWL).
Extensible Work Manager
Intalio|Workflow uses the Intalio|Server runtime for the execution of human processes and standard BPMN processes for the management of their life cycle. As a result, you can extend our default Work Manager in order to implement custom escalation processes or specific work distribution rules.
Intalio|Server is a native BPEL 2.0 process server based on J2EE. Because it is architected around the new Java Business Integration (JBI) technology, it can be deployed on virtually any J2EE application server. Our process server was designed from the ground-up to be deployed on a grid of 1,000 servers by the US Department of Energy (DOE), so if your project requires high-performance process execution, you might have just found what you were looking for.
Native BPEL 2.0 Runtime
Intalio|Server is a native implementation of the new BPEL 2.0 standard. It matters because the last version of the BPEL specification adds support for distributed transactions and human workflow through standard extensions, making the BPEL execution model suitable for large enterprise applications, but significantly more difficult for software vendors to implement. So we implemented this new language, from scratch, and this is why Intalio|Server is today the most widely used BPEL runtime in the world.
SOA Design
Intalio|Server is designed from the ground up to be deployed on top of the emerging Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). All external systems are transparently exposed as web services and deployed processes can register their WSDL interfaces onto a UDDI registry.
Intalio|Designer is an Eclipse-based integrated development environment for BPMN business processes. Business analysts and software engineers can both use Intalio|BPMS, because it’s the easiest way we found to bridge the gap between business and IT. Also, since it offers zero code development and one-click deployment, you do not have to be a J2EE guru or an XML expert to use it, and if you are one anyway, you will find in Intalio|Designer a formidable productivity enhancer.
Integrated Development Environment
Intalio|Designer offers a single tool that is used by business analysts, software engineers, and system administrators for supporting the modeling of business-level processes, their binding onto external systems and user interfaces, and their deployment onto Intalio|Server respectively. As a result, all process stakeholders benefit from having a common working environment that fosters cross-functional communication and preserves the integrity of business processes over their entire life cycle, from design to deployment and optimization.
Zero Code Process Design
Intalio|Designer is the only tool currently available on the market that allows any BPMN model to be turned into a fully executable process without having to write any software code. This is achieved through a combination of proprietary code generation algorithms and unprecedented system introspection capabilities that expose virtually any back-end systems into ready-to-use web services on the fly. We write the code within our products so that you do not have to write it within your processes.
One-Click Process Deployment
Intalio|Designer provides an environment where deployed processes are just one click away, literally. Once a BPMN process has been modeled, bound to external systems and linked to workflow tasks — all activities performed through intuitive graphical metaphors and simple wizards — a single click validates the process, generates the code, checks for all dependencies, deploys all artifacts onto the Intalio|Server and Intalio|Workflow runtimes and your process is up and running. It is that simple, and our customers quickly forget how they ever did it before.
