“It took (only) 4-6 weeks to develop our project with no more that 2 days of training. We expected the learning curve for BPEL would make the development project longer, but surprisingly that was not the case

BPEL has changed our entire approach to development. Now we focus on defining processes and having business users get involved in working on the business processes, identifying the bottlenecks, and then refining those business process. With BPEL, we are now looking at our (Packaged) Applications as the Datastore

BPEL is one of those hidden gems. I was surprised you could do so much with the product.”Sam Tong, Application Architect – DeVry University
