Paris, June 10, 2010 BonitaSoft, leading provider of open source BPM solutions, is celebrating its first birthday. Created just last year, the French start-up experienced a meteoric rise and is one of a select group of successful open source vendors. BonitaSoft’s business process management solution, Bonita Open Solution, has already been deployed in over 200 countries.
“Twelve months ago, we promised the democratization of BPM and we are keeping our promise. In one year, we have seen the number of downloads double – to 300,000, including 100,000 in just the last four months. Our community of contributors has tripled, exceeding a thousand, and more than 20 integration partners have joined us. With all of this, we are covering five continents today,” said Miguel Valdès Faura, CEO and co-founder of BonitaSoft.
BonitaSoft also counts 60,000 unique visitors each month to its Web site, more than 1,000 messages exchanged each month in the community forums, an online TV channel with more than 30,000 views, and technology partnerships with some of the biggest names in Open Source enterprise software: Talend, JasperSoft, and eXo Platform.
The company is also enjoying commercial success. Since the release of Bonita Open Solution in January 2010, dozens of new clients on three continents and eight countries (France, Spain, the United States, Brazil, Canada, Switzerland, Belgium and Malaysia) have put their trust in BonitaSoft.

» Workshops: A sneak peek at Bonita Open Solution 5.2, with BonitaSoft Partners
Here’s a great opportunity to meet our CEO Miguel Valdés Faura and our BPM experts – and get a sneak peek at Bonita Open Solution 5.2’s enhanced features and our professional services.
I’m just back to France after spending 2 fruitful weeks in the San Francisco Bay Area. During those 2 weeks I met with more than 30 CEO’s and top executives of major open source companies including RedHat, SpringSource, OpenBravo, Canonical, Acquia, Ingres, JasperSoft, SugarCRM, Talend, eXo Platform, PushToTest, Hippo, SauceLabs, Extentech, AlienVault and GroundWork. I had a great time discussing open source interoperability, cloud computing, and BPM of course.
While initially this trip was supposed to be just one week, the famous volcano ash cloud helped me make the decision to stay a bit longer 
My trip started with the SugarCRM conference. I have to say that Larry Augustin and his team did a great job offering an impressive panel of speakers this year (and not only because I was part of it .) The main BonitaSoft partners were there – Talend, eXo Platform and JasperSoft – so we took the opportunity to discuss our product integration and joint activities (a couple of great things are coming there). The nice thing about those major events is that customers, community members and users also attend so it’s a perfect place to introduce new features and to get good feedback.
With the release of Bonita Open Solution 5.x, BonitaSoft is bringing a graphical and intuitive BPM software to everybody. Through Bonita Open Solution you are now able to deal graphically with the entire life cycle of processes as only the most advanced proprietary solutions were providing so far.
At the same time, we want keep innovation high and to bring to any kind of end user his flavour of BPM. That includes Java developers so I would like in this post to focus on you!
While in Bonita Open Solution you can build your BPM based application by just leveraging the Bonita Studio, there are some situations in which you are looking for a native interaction between your Java based applications and frameworks and a BPM engine. Even more, you probably also mind about the way in which the BPM engine is going to be deployed together with your Java application, meaning embedded or centralized deployments.
Are you a Java developer? If yes, this post is for you! Charles Souillard, CTO of BonitaSoft, has just published a trilogy of articles in which he describes the essence of Bonita BPM Engine:
Enjoy!
