Enables joint customers to:
• embed intelligence into automated business processes
• gain visibility into processes executing in JBoss jBPM in real time
• improve automated process performance by up to 900%

The end goal of the IBM-Novell alliance is to provide an enterprise-ready open source alternative to JBoss. At the same time, developers will have an opportunity to build on WAS CE -- the open source WebSphere Application Server Community Edition -- which is supported by both firms.
