S-BPM ONE - Learning by Doing - Doing by Learning (S-BPM ONE 2011)

Abstract

Today’s business process- and workflow management is not limited to organizational borders but relates to network structures. Customers, partners and suppliers need to be supported on the basis of coordinated value added chains. The respective workflow engines however are in most cases sealed off by a corporate network and thus not reachable from outside without further ado. In this article we will revise our jCPEX! approach for connecting inter-organizational business process and present a solution where the jCPEX! platform resolves the mentioned impediment of private networks by being provided on a network router that connects the external net with the corporate network of an organization, making a separate DMZ superfluous for this purpose.
