Today, I am very pleased to be able to offer the first in a series of product “vignettes,” or little single-feature demos of ActiveVOS that take less than five minutes to watch. We believe these accomplish two things. First, they show what’s possible in SOA-based applications using the visual orchestration system’s features. Second, they are educational and can be very valuable to evaluators and customers who are looking to learn how to create BPMN- and BPEL-based business process applications in a true SOA environment. So, you can learn “how to” and/or see how it would be done in a jiffy.

We have a long list of product vignettes planned, but we wanted to start the series off with a bang: a demonstration of how Java developers can use POJO’s — or plain old Java objects — directly in an ActiveVOS orchestration. We introduced this in ActiveVOS 6.0 and we know from the response we’ve been getting that Java developers have been looking for something exactly like this to bridge their current object-oriented development world and the new world of SOA-based BPM applications.

So, we hope you enjoy this little vignette and we hope to hear from you about what you’d like us to demo in the future.

Recently, we posted an avi of our Flash animation in this podcast feed. And we learned a lesson: even though the Flash concepts-and-facilities animation was readily available on our corporate website, the avi we put into this feed was also exceptionally popular.

To borrow a line from a VW commercial that I really, really hate: “The people want the content in the podcast feed.”

So, we’re repeating ourselves. (-: Today, I am pleased to post an avi and iPod-formatted .m4v of the overview demo of ActiveVOS 6.0. In just a few minutes, you’ll see how you can create SOA and BPM applications using standards like BPMN, BPEL, BPEL4People faster and more easily than ever before. You’ll also see how you can use ActiveVOS to control the overall state of the business, using our new BAM and BI capabilities. We even show you how to use our new complex-event processing (CEP) engine to “tell the story” of your business.

All this, and plenty of familiarity for Java developers, in a single, affordable product. No wonder the link to this demo on our corporate site is one of our most popular links…and I expect this link will become as popular.
