The Oracle BPM Suite unifies the design, implementation, runtime, and monitoring stages based on a service component architecture SCA infrastructure. This allows different personas to participate through all stages of the application lifecycle. The Oracle BPM Suite provides a seamless integration of all stages of the application development lifecycle from design-time and implementation to runtime and application management. The Oracle BPM Suite is layered on the Oracle SOA Suite and shares many of the same product components, including: ■ Oracle Business Rules ■ Human workflow ■ Oracle adapter framework for integration
