Red Hat JBoss BRMS & BPM Suite Quickstarts

Target Product: JBoss BRMS & BPM Suite Source: https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-brms-quickstarts/
Summary:These quickstarts demonstrate how to use BRMS and BPM to manage and deploy business process and rules.

Red Hat JBoss BRMS is an open source decision management platform that combines Business Rules Management and Complex Event Processing. It automates business decisions and makes that logic available to the entire business.

Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite is an open source business process management suite that combines Business Process Management and Business Rules Management and enables business and IT users to create, manage, validate, and deploy Business Processes and Rules.

Both BRMS and BPM Suite use a centralized repository where all resources are stored. This ensures consistency, transparency, and the ability to audit across the business. Business users can modify business logic without requiring assistance from IT personnel.

The root folder of each individual quickstart contains a README file with specific details on how to configure the environment and how build and run the example. In some most cases you need to configure either BRMS or BPM and import the BRMS repository.
