Summary
BPM adoption is a tough job, but its rewards are enormous. Not only has the speed of de-
velopment dramatically increased, but the amount of intercommunication between technic-
al groups and domain experts has increased significantly through a common language. No
organization has ever regretted learning BPM, much less adopting it in their everyday
activities.
In this chapter, we have learned about the architecture considerations of using jBPM6 as a
BPM system, the different integration facilities the KIE Workbench provides, how to ac-
cess it from outside tools, and even how to deploy it in the cloud. It is up to the end user to
determine the best way to make use of these components to link jBPM6 to the existing en-
terprise infrastructure, but it is my honest hope that now you will have all the tools to make
the right decision.
After all that we have covered in this topic, I hope you have all the necessary tools to get
started with jBPM6. It is such a big project that it is almost impossible to fit every single
detail in just one topic. For that reason, I strongly recommend going iteratively increasing
the complexity of your projects, based on what you have seen in this topic. I also recom-
mend joining the community; it is by far the best way to learn about the project state and
future directions. It is a very open group, and about half of the contributions made to the
project are from people like you, who started learning about jBPM6.
This topic will be used as a foundation to write more advanced articles describing extra
topics, so keep an eye on my blog (

). Feel free to
contact me through comments on my blog or using the community jBPM IRC channel.
Don't be shy, and keep in touch!
