San Diego, CA, Mar 25, 2009 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) --The Workflow Management Coalition, the leading industry association and standards body dedicated to business process management and workflow, has announced the first results of BPMN model portability validation.

"This is a critical milestone for both business process modeling and the deployment of BPM systems, explained WfMC Executive Director, Nathaniel Palmer.

Today XPDL remains the only standard means for the serialization (definition and storage) of models using BPMN ("Business Process Model Notation") the most commonly used notation business process modeling as well as the deployment BPMS and workflow management systems. The new conformance test provides a way to assure that BPMN diagrams can be reliably exchanged between certified tools.
