ProcessMaker is a very unique enterprise-grade Open Source business process management (BPM) and workflow software designed for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and organizations. ProcessMaker is a user-friendly application to manage workflow efficiently and effectively. Business users and process experts with no programming experience can design and run workflows, increase transparency, and radically reduce paperwork. Automate processes across systems, including human resources, finance, and operations. Private and public organizations can use it to automate document intensive, approval-based processes across systems including finance, HR and operations. ProcessMaker is written in PHP and Ajax, fully web-based with a service oriented architecture. I loved the workflow creation interface where you can open and customize all your business process with simple drag and drop. In addition ProcessMaker includes tools to design forms, create documents, assign roles and users, create routing rules, interconnect with third-party systems including business intelligence (BI), document management (DMS), content management (CMS) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems through a service-orientated architecture (SOA), and to map an individual process quickly and easily.

Gizmox the developer of the Visual WebGui web/cloud applications platform adds an alternative way to develop Visual WebGui (VWG) applications using XAML and ‘on demand’ compilation instead of Form based development paradigm. The new declarative programming which will be named VWG Sites facilitates the transition into VWG for web developers who missed the VB6 like development paradigm and use only markup declarative paradigms. VWG Sites will also be the foundation of the VWG IDE in the Cloud. It enables “notepad” style ftp editing with no need for Visual Studio IDE. “We decided to expend the development experience offered by Visual WebGui in response to web developers’ requests. The web oriented developers wanted to enjoy VWG runtime benefits of desktop responsiveness, desktop richness and absolute by-design security with enterprise level data intensive application, but feel more at home with declarative programming,” said Navot Peled, CEO of Gizmox and added “We offer an alternative to ASP.NET which we extend and turn into an enterprise level rich internet application (RIA) platform.” Asp.Net developers have to choose between rich Ajax responsiveness and OOP (object oriented programming). They cannot have both with current Microsoft offering. VWG offer them both; Ultra rich and responsive Ajax and single layer fully, desktop like OOP programming that make complex Ajax development as simple as one layer, MVC development

A content management system (CMS) is a generalised term for a computer software system that assists in organising and facilitating the collaborative creation of documents and other content. In other words, it will store, manage and allow multiple lines of access to all of the content you want to include in any particular database. This can be done on any scale, from your personal website to an enterprise-level intranet.

Enterprises get value from semantics – they are the early adopters of semantic search as they realise cost benefits from delivering accurate, contextual search results for their internal documents. It is only the widespread adoption of semantic search in enterprise that will ultimately deliver the lofty promise that is the ‘semantic web.’

Yesterday a friend was requesting a MYSQL/PHP Consultant to speed up his websites, and today I was reading few comments and solutions on his facebook : Use APC, mem_cache for PHP, mysql query caching, use nginx instead of Apache, Use mysqli extension instead of adodb or mysql extension … etc. Of course all of these could be solutions, but unless you have previously located what the problem really is. A website could be slow for many reasons, and to be able to fix it and make it run faster you have to first find problem. What you will need to know is : 1- Understand the business : Before looking into PHP or MySQL, have a first look at the website(s) and answer these two questions : – What is slow – Why is it slow Look at the page size, images, video, flash, … your issue might be in the client side and everything else might be good. Use a tool like Firefox web developer extension and disable everything : CSS, Javascript, Images… and load the page as html to feel the difference. The business here is NOT the business logic behind the website, it’s the interface that people use to interact with the website. If everything looks okay, you can go for further server-side investigations

PHP appeals to developers and software architects due to its agile nature and support for quick application development. However, possibility of procedural development and lack of inbuilt object model attract huge criticism. Since last several years, many efforts are on to create development frameworks to enforce correct development paradigm and to undertake requisite measures for building robust application architecture.

Internet Explorer 6 is a relic, but corporations continue to cling to it. At this point, IE 6 in the enterprise is common, but it’s nonetheless surprising when Intel—Microsoft’s long-time partner—is still using the ancient browser. In a blog post walking through its implementation of Windows 7, Intel talked a lot about the “heavy lifting” involved with moving from XP to Windows 7. Turns out the browser is part of the heavy lifting. Read the entire article at What enterprise still uses IE 6? Try Intel
