What’s New in IBM Business Process Manager v8?
+295 other enhancements

What’s NOT new in IBM BPM v8?
IBM BPM v8 is *not* a brand new architecture!
– The underlying architecture, platform and engines were not redesigned or rebuilt
– It has more fixes and better performance than v7.5.1
– Customers should not be afraid to embrace v8 now!
• There is no reason to wait for an update
• Take advantage of the fixes and performance enhancements without the risk of a new architecture
IBM BPM v8 should *not* substantially change how you introduce IBM BPM to your customers
(Yes, we’ve moved up to WAS v8, but this should not impact IBM BPM as a whole.)

Social Collaboration New Process Portal and
Coaches enable users to work together on the same tasks via real-time interactions.
Activity streams provide a way for you to monitor and perform ad-hoc actions on your “favorite” processes and tasks.
Experts – either pre-defined or discovered dynamically (using social analytics) – can help you complete process tasks.

DEVELOPING ADVANCED UI
New Coach Designer enablesuser-defined Coach Controls.
© 2010 IBM Corporation
New Reusable “Coach Views”Implement reusable UI components that look & behave exactly as you want
Create reusable Coach controls and templates, stored as sharable Library objects
Alternative approach to heritage “modeled” Coach implementations
Direct implementation by web developers using familiar HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Ajax, JSON, …
© 2010 IBM Corporation
New Reusable “Coach Views”Create new views & controls … drag-and-drop to build rich coach UIs
© 2010 IBM Corporation
Simple Run-time control interactions
Controls bound to the same data automatically update themselves when data is updated
– In this example, both the “Input Data” control and “Output Letter” control are bound to the same data – so “Output Letter” is automatically updated when you change the input data.

…and to go along with the data-centric Coach Designer…
Shared Business Objects
Data can now be shared between parallel tasks and across process instances.

Simplify access to content in any ECM repository using Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS)
Search, browse, and display the “right documents at right time” within Process Coaches
Directly interact with document content – create, retrieve, update, delete

Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS)
Any CMIS compliant ECM systems can be integrated with IBM BPM
• FileNet V5• IBM CM8• Documentum• SharePoint• Alfresco• OpenText• Vignette… and more!
© 2010 IBM Corporation
Important Notes on CMIS for v8
FileNet V5, IBM CM8, Documentum, SharePoint, Alfresco, OpenText, Vignette and other Content Management Systems support CMIS.
However, for IBM BPM v8.0, IBM has only tested:
– FileNet
– IBM CM
– SharePoint testing is “almost done”
– Testing for Documentum and Alfresco are in progress.
Until all are tested, it is best to understand the above and position appropriately
