BonitaSoft: One Year Old and Already a Worldwide Leader in Open Source Business Process Management
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 Valdes 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.
To celebrate its anniversary, BonitaSoft is offering the
community a brand new version of its open source business process management
software, Bonita Open Solution 5.2, and a full range of professional services
(training, expertise, support and subscription) to support BPM projects in
companies and organizations of all sizes, at all stages of development and
implementation.
"We really wanted to provide maximum functionality in this new
version. On one hand we improved modeling, connectivity and customization;
and on the other hand we made a la carte deployment of Bonita Solution in
private and public clouds, application servers and light Web applications -
the key environments of our customers - easier," explained Charles Souillard,
Chief Technical Officer and co-founder of BonitaSoft.
This new version of the software offers a number of important
improvements: modeling of complex processes; further conformance to the BPMN2
standard, native integration of business rules; custom BPM applications
development; and import of existing processes in BPMN2, XPDL, and JPDL
formats. This makes it easier to migrate solutions from BPM and BPA vendors
such as Tibco, Lombardi / IBM, Oracle, SoftwareAG, RedHat / JBoss and Mega.
Interoperability has also been enhanced in this new version: SAP,
Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SharePoint connectors have been added,
bringing the number of connectors available in Bonita Open Solution to over
100 - not counting the more than 40 connectors contributed by the very active
BonitaSoft Open Source community.
A Webcast featuring the release of Bonita Open Solution 5.2 will
take place 10 June 10, 2010 at 5:00 pm CET. To participate:
