Metastorm BPM has been evolving since its very early days as an
Oracle application. It has been a strong leader in the BPM area for
over 12 years. It was a market leader in the Web Client arena, and
has consistently kept up with and taken advantage of the ever
changing technological landscape as it has grown.
Throughout these changes the fundamental ease of use and
'descriptive' Process Design that has made it a favourite of many
for many years has been maintained.
The latest incarnation as a fully .Net application and code
generator is yet another almost complete makeover, possibly as
significant as its transition from Oracle. We've waited a long time
for this, but the real question is, are we going to enjoy the same
ease of process design and overriding clarity that we have come to
rely on, and has been the main strength of the product to date.
In this and the articles to follow over the next few weeks we shall
try to give you all the information you will need to answer that
question, and, we hope, many others.
