AgilPro - Agile Business Processes With Service Enabled Applications.A Software Innovation by eMundo - Experience AgilPro Live at the Systems 2006 in Munich [A1.306] MUNICH, Germany -- In a recent study of Gartner's Executive Program (EXP) business processes optimization with service-enabled applications is on the CIO's high priority agenda. At the same time a German study for SMEs (small and medium sized enterprises) has confirmed this business need especially for Germany's distinct high share of SMEs. AgilPro is a process integration framework based on a service orientated architecture (SOA). AgilPro integrates existing ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) An integrated information system that serves all departments within an enterprise. Evolving out of the manufacturing industry, ERP implies the use of packaged software rather than proprietary software written by or for one customer. (enterprise resource planning See ERP. (application, business) Enterprise Resource Planning - (ERP) Any software system designed to support and automate the business processes of medium and large businesses. ), material management and proprietary data processing systems using service adapters. Particularly SMEs are known to use isolated solutions which prevent integrated process flow. AgilPro Integration Framework will help to close this gap. The AgilPro Tools for Modeling and Simulation are realized in a joint venture project with the University of Augsburg/Germany. The AgilPro Modeler is based on the Eclipse Modeling Framework Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) is an Eclipse-based modeling framework and code generation facility for building tools and other applications based on a structured data model. (EMF emf: see electromotive force. (1) (ElectroMagnetic Field) See electromagnetic radiation. (2) (Enhanced MetaFile) See Windows metafile. ) and Graphical Modeling Framework The Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) is framework within the Eclipse platform. It provides a generative component and runtime infrastructure for developing graphical editors based on the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) and Graphical Editing Framework (GEF). (GMF). The AgilPro Modeler team has joined the Java WorkFlow Toolbox Project (JWT). The JWT project is a proposed open source project under the Eclipse Technology Project. The service adapters for ERP and production planning systems are realized in cooperation with the system vendor Helium V ERP Systeme GmbH. AgilPro is promoted by the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs The following nations have a Ministry of Economic Affairs:
The AgilPro Light Modeler (LiMo) for modeling and simulation will be available free of charge with base adapters (Q4/2006). Available base adapters will be: Word, Excel, Acrobat/PDF, Internet Explorer, Firefox and OpenOffice. LiMo runs on Windows, Linux and Mac-OS-X. * Those who would like to model and simulate their own enterprise processes with the free version may register at: register@agilpro.de. * Process modeling applies to the documentation of business processes as well as to the development of organization guidelines for ISO- iso- or is- pref. 1.
