Bonita Open Solution 5.2.3
last update: 2010-09-03
Since the release of Bonita Open Solution preview we got lots of positive feedback and thoughtful comments from the BPM community about the new features and tooling provided. Some of those features are illustrated in the quick start guide available in the community site.
While text is often useful, sometimes videos are a more effective way to receive information so I wanted to share with you two videos produced by the team and one produced by a Bonita contributor.
Grenoble, 16 Novembre 2009 – eXo Platform, a major provider of open source collaborative software, has just reached an OEM partnership agreement with BonitaSoft, the first provider of open source Business Process Management (BPM) solutions.
With the signing of this agreement, eXo Platform and BonitaSoft strengthen their technological collaboration. BonitaSoft’s business process management solution will be integrated into eXo DMS’s document management module.
Based on Bonita, BonitaSoft’s open source BPM software, the new version of eXo DMS incorporates advanced features for document collaboration and validation. The addition of Bonita’s BPM capabilities provides eXo Platform customers a powerful and intuitive solution for automating their records management.
The result of four years of successful technical collaboration, the eXo DMS version integrating Bonita was made available to the open source community in 2009. Through this enhanced partnership, eXo Platform and BonitaSoft now offer their customers dedicated support and services for this integrated solution.
In a recent post published earlier this week, Clay Richardson from Forrester provides an interesting analysis of the current state of the BPM market.
Clay starts with the statement that 2009 has been The Year of Business Process Management in the software industry:
Time flies when you’re having fun – and 2009 was a really fun and successful year for the BPM industry. Nearly all BPM vendors reported double digit revenue growth over the first three quarters of 2009 and many are already reporting strong pipeline growth for 2010.
This is really a good sign and confirms analysts’ forecasts. So if 2010 is expected to be even better for most of the BPM vendors, could you image how good it could be for BonitaSoft!
Today’s economic crisis favours enterprise open source players and BonitaSoft is set to democratise Business Process Management. A lot of companies, not only small ones, can’t afford the prices proposed by proprietary solutions. Even large enterprises can’t afford to deploy proprietary solutions for every single project.
