I think I'll take a further look! Thanks for the tip. @Neville - I’ve heard of Intalio before but I haven’t seriously looked into it. I think I’ll take a further look! Thanks for the tip.

OpenSoft has had many experiences in helping business and organisations move toward a more process centric business with services. This is very hard for most IT people to understand due to the fact that they only understand EAI, ESB and ETL and component technology that glues to Web and desktop front end. We have 2 BPM platforms, one is Intalio and the other Skelta. It is very interesting that while there are great commercial open source platforms that "rock" such as Intalio, people still do not get the whole picture. BPM is hard to sell and it does take a long time, but if done right , the benefits of agility, re-usability (through services) and market delivery are the greatest advantages that Large Enterprises and SME can take from their investment in BPM. The motto we always say is start small but build for the long term.
