http://www.magnolia.info/
============================================================
Magnolia Organization and the OpenWFE Group today announce a
strategic alliance to bring unprecedented power and
ease-of-use to open-source Content Management and Workflow.
Basel/Lausanne (Switzerland), August 11th, 2005
Magnolia Organization and the OpenWFE Group today announce a
strategic alliance. The goal of the alliance is to bring
Magnolia's renown ease-of-use to the OpenWFE Workflow
Environment, supply Magnolia with outstanding workflow
capabilities, and provide professional support for the
OpenWFE Workflow Environment.
Magnolia Content Management is the leading open source
content management system built on the revolutionary java
content repository standard (JSR-170).
OpenWFE Workflow Environment is the leading cross-platform
workflow environment implementing the complete set of
standard workflow control patterns.
The alliance between the two independent projects will bring
outstanding workflow features to the complete Magnolia
Content Management Suite, which already uses OpenWFE for its
upcoming "Magnolia for Electronic Forms" product. Further
applications are the use of OpenWFE as a web flow engine for
the Magnolia framework, and to position Magnolia as an
integrated member of a fully OpenWFE-orchestrated
business-process environment.
Magnolia will replace the default web-client supplied with
OpenWFE, thus considerably enhancing the visible experience
of the OpenWFE Workflow Environment. As a future step, the
powerful visual editor used in "Magnolia for Business
Processes" will be made available to define OpenWFE workflow
definitions and track their execution.
Professional OpenWFE support is available immediately
through the Magnolia Organization.
