BonitaSoft Launches New BPM Offerings to Meet Accelerating Enterprise Demand
New offerings maximize productivity, accelerate business process-driven application delivery, and secure mission critical deployments
SAN FRANCISCO, October 27, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
Following on the company's announcement last week as becoming the
fastest growing Business Process Management (BPM) vendor, BonitaSoft, the
leader in open source BPM, today announced the availability of Bonita Open
Solution 5.6 to keep pace with accelerating enterprise demand. The new
version includes significant upgrades delivered in a new range of BPM
offerings that will allow enterprise users to maximize productivity,
accelerate business process model based application delivery, and secure
mission critical deployments.
Bonita Open Solution is designed to meet the evolving demands of today's
BPM environment, which includes increased collaboration between business and
IT users. To that end, BonitaSoft has introduced User Guidance and Profiles
that tailor the graphical interface to the tasks required for that person's
specific role: business analyst, process engineer, or application developer.
Critically, the new version adds customizable business process templates
that are geared to a corporate function, such as Human Resources and
Corporate Finance, to accelerate critical business processes like
On-Boarding and Purchase Order Management.
In addition to the company's open source flagship product Bonita Open
Solution, BonitaSoft now offers three separate Subscription Packs with
annual professional support and additional collaboration, productivity and
deployment features. Each Subscription Pack adds an increasing amount of
functionality:
- Teamwork: This Subscription Pack allows users to accelerate
and secure their projects and is intended for entry-level commercial
grade deployments including annual professional support, a multi-user
repository to share developments, developer productivity features, and
document management. Business users can generate documentation for their
processes to better collaborate with colleagues as well as obtain Key
Performance Indicator (KPI) reports on the process data. This
Subscription Pack also allows for creating complex and dynamic web
forms, user-friendly customization of the application's look-and-feel,
and easy interaction with external systems through built-in connectors
to applications like SalesForce.com or via Web Services.
- Efficiency: For those projects with tight time constraints,
this Subscription Pack speeds business process delivery for commercial
grade deployments. Users can accelerate project delivery to the maximum
extent with a wide range of corporate function business process
templates (e.g., Human Resources, Corporate Finance, Quality, and Help
Desk). Organizations can have their own team, BonitaSoft, or its
partners tailor the process to precisely fit their business processes.
- Performance: This Subscription Pack is for mission-critical
deployments, adding powerful features to ensure deployments run at peak
performance. Monitoring capabilities guarantee that users know the
real-time, precise status of resources and business process behaviors.
Error management facilities ensure the ability to pinpoint any issues so
that corrective action may be taken.
"BonitaSoft is committed to delivering a cost-effective, easy-to-use BPM
solution that meets the realities of today's dynamic business landscape,"
said Miguel Valdes Faura, BonitaSoft CEO. "We've collected extensive
feedback from our community of contributors and have incorporated it into
this release to include a range of offerings for the corresponding range of
project types. This is part of our larger promise to democratize BPM by
enabling users to better design, connect and run business processes and
deliver that value throughout organizations, no matter the size and
budgets."
"BonitaSoft has created a thriving open source BPM community in addition
to an end-to-end BPM suite," said Bruce Silver of BPMS Watch. "Their open
source offering has features comparable to leading proprietary suites, at a
more attractive price. Also, their continuing efforts to implement the BPMN2
standard are helping to bridge the gap between business and IT in BPM
projects."
"As a customer and partner of BonitaSoft, we are pleased to see the
tremendous innovation in their product continue with this 5.6 release.
BonitaSoft is delivering value to organizations of all sizes in ways that
traditional, proprietary BPM vendors are simply not able to match. This has
enabled us to deliver a powerful BPM-based solution for Stanford University,
School of Engineering that would not have otherwise been possible under the
time and budget constraints required," says Randy Ozden, CEO of VivanTech,
Inc. a global solutions provider based in San Diego, CA.
