When working on service-oriented architecture (SOA) projects, business analysts and IT professionals speak the same language when they work with Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), says Ismael Ghalimi.
"There is no disconnect between what the business people are doing and what the IT people are doing in BPMN," said Ghalimi, founder and CEO of Intalio Inc., the open source business process vendor. He is also the founder of the Business Process Management Initiative, which published the first version of BPMN in 2003. BPMI.org has since merged into the Object Management Group (OMG), which ratified BPMN 1.1 earlier this month. This past week, Ghalimi's company released Intalio|Designer, which he said is the first process modeling tool to support the new notation.
