Western Governors University is an online university that was facing student management challenges as it continued to grow at a significant pace. The university is in a rapid growth state, and was looking for a BPM solution, one that would be based on standards and could incorporate human tasks with automated processes.
The IT organization at WGU launched a search for a BPM system that was standards-based, supported a services-oriented architecture and easily deployed and maintained on their own. After considering several of the other solutions (including JBoss jBPM and coding a solution themselves), WGU selected the ActiveVOS business process management system (BPMS) from Active Endpoints.
This Upside Research Implementation Brief takes a closer look at the university, its challenges, and its decision to select a model-driven BPMS over a set of non-integrated propriety tools as the foundation for its SOA architecture. It also examines the business impact of its BPM deployment.

We are pleased to make available a newly published analysis of ActiveVOS written by Neil Ward-Dutton of MWD Advisors.
We are especially excited that Neil chose to focus on the integration of complex event processing (CEP) into ActiveVOS. This report describes how powerful the combination of BPM and CEP can be and makes a point we have long asserted: that CEP shouldn’t be a separate thing. Instead, it should be integrated into the core of the BPMS.
We are very pleased to present a replay of a webinar we hosted featuring Forrester Research, Inc. Vice President and Principal Analyst Randy Heffner and Michael Rowley, CTO, Active Endpoints, Inc. titled SOA, BPM and building your digital business.

Today, we are at Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco. We’ve dressed up actors as prisoners of SOA Suite 11g. We’ve handing out cards that contain the 11 things to think about when considering SOA Suite 11g and an invite to our social media meetup Tuesday, October 13. Here are the details.
We’re having fun. In the video below, you can see that people are enjoying the humor and taking the time to read our “11 things to consider before using Oracle SOA Suite 11g.” They’re also posing with our prisoners and shooting video and photos. So, we expect a great turnout tomorrow at the meetup. Remember: you can win an iPod nano for the best photo/video of the prisoners at the meeting. The judges are the audience. So, join us for some drinks, snacks and fun.
Check out some of the video and photos below.
First, we “cowboy up” at a Starbucks, then hit the streets before dawn to get a head start on liberation from SOA Suite 11g. Reactions are positive…from the woman who stands on the street corner reading the 11 things to consider about SOA Suite to the person complimenting our costumes:
