Open source business process automation platform for passionate software engineers

OpenBPM empowers developers and analysts to seamlessly collaborate and build process-driven applications using a fully integrated open-source tech stack. With a unified toolchain designed for smooth workflows, OpenBPM reduces development time and eliminates friction between teams, enabling faster, more efficient automation compared to traditional development, making it similar to BPMS approaches, while delivering financial results up to x6 faster than using traditional development approach.

FAQ

Is this another Low-code platform?

No, with OpenBPM you will have to write code in Java and Groovy. But much faster! A back-end developer with the help of convenient development tools and integration with analyst models will do it as quickly as with Low Code, but without overpaying for licenses or waiting until the vendor decides to make the functionality you need. Analysts can also create simple processes and test them in a sandbox via the portal for the entire team.

We already work with Camunda and IntelliJ IDEA CE. Why do I need it?

OpenBPM boosts productivity in enterprise application development based on Camunda, even for existing projects, by:

Involving analysts in the process
Establishing a single point of truth - Process repository
Providing developers with an all-in-one tool from modeling to deployment
Offering advanced tools for administering deployed processes.

Why should I automate processes with BPM at all?

BPM-based process automation is most effective when:

automating manual data entry and long-running business logic
orchestrating intersystem interactions within a complex IT landscape,
isolating business logic from the flow of tasks within a microservice.

What types of processes can I automate with OpenBPM?

OpenBPM is designed for automating departmental or line-of-business processes in medium and large companies, such as HR automation, sales processes, support requests, customer complaints, and citizen requests.

How does OpenBPM help analysts to be involved in the development process?

Analysts start by creating data and process models in the modeler they've got used to. These models can be simulated and validated automatically. Analysts then transfer processes in the web development environment – OpenBPM Workspace. For complex processes, they transfer artifacts to developers for further work. Developers use IntelliJ IDEA CE with OpenBPM Studio to test, debug, and deploy applications.

Where is business data stored? How does the platform connect to it?

OpenBPM supports any data source, whether existing or designed for a specific project. We recommend using Jmix for quick creation of a complex data model.

We use a custom front-end. What's the point of using OpenBPM?

OpenBPM accelerates work in any scenario. Even with a custom front-end, back-end Java developers can increase productivity with OpenBPM Studio and the admin console. Additionally, OpenBPM improves collaboration between analysts and developers, reducing time to market (T2M).

What integration capabilities does the OpenBPM platform provide?

OpenBPM Studio allows developers to leverage the Java and Spring Boot ecosystem for integration. The platform also offers code generation tools for common integration scenarios.
