More than 2,000 customers worldwide use ISIS Papyrus products for strategic applications such as managing the issuing and renewal of more than half of the United States credit cards. By far the largest share of all financial, insurance and telecom documents in the EU is created by ISIS Papyrus Software. The upcoming ISIS Papyrus V7 is already offering, which will be announced with Microsoft, IBM and Oracle as
ISIS Papyrus - built on its Papyrus Objects integration architecture - delivers an open, as well as standards-enabling platform for business process management across Papyrus Inbound and Outbound, third-party and legacy applications. Papyrus is delivering pre-built business processes across ERP, CRM, ECM, as well as business intellligence and industry applications using a meta-object model, SOA-compatible and general messaging interfaces, and a powerful freely definable portal user interface. Inbound and Outbound document management is tightly integrated with the central Change Management repository. Additionally, business users are able to extend the object model with their own meta-data definitions, store it to the repository and have full upgrade protection across any future product versions.

"The Papyrus architecture solves the long-term managment problem of processes that are linked to multiple applications," said Max J. Pucher, Chief Architect of ISIS Papyrus Software. "By not depending on late-to-the-market standards such as BPEL we can focus on true long-term and cross-platform compatibilty to give our customers the flexibility to make changes to the underlying applications as well as the processes without disrupting the business users."

Using thePapyrus WebRepository customers can immediately use Papyrus' existing business objects, interface services, process and business case samples and infrastructure components to define specific end-to-end process integrations with or without related documents. Using a proven reference architecture and reusable service interfaces, Papyrus WebRepository significantly reduces the time, cost and risk associated with implementing Service Oriented Architecture projects. Our common model approach for application integration provides the foundation for creating composite processes while ensuring long-term process durability. WebRepository allows customers to define processes and integrations with the same development efficiency, control and visibility that ISIS Papyrus employs for its own software systems and inhouse applications. The Papyrus WebRepository not only manages the modeling and deployment of how processes and services are utilized and how they relate, it further enables customers to run complete integration tests, and most of all ensures the rentention of process analysis as well as implementation knowledge.

Why not Business Process Execution Language (BPEL)?
While BPEL is a standard, it is common practice to utilize jBPEL (BPEL with Java) that is proprietary to each vendor. The software user has therefore the worst of BOTH worlds - it is outdated (because it is built on a standard) but it is still proprietary. Each software vendor adds complex service links as API's and SOA interfaces to make the integration with their own tools easy and reduce the cost to deploy and maintain integration. That makes the process implementation completely proprietary!

Despite a papyrus system installation and documentation of the design does not require Java or C language programming, customers do expect and receive a complete analysis, training and implementation of the service pack. ISIS experience, in the world's major adviser.
