Abstracts

Introduction

The Bonita Studio provides an easy-to-use graphical environment, configurable for different types of users, based on drag-and-drop components, and using the business process modeling notation (BPMN 2.0) standard.

Features and benefits

• Uses a code-free design methodology to limit the requirement of IT intervention in creating and deploying processes.
• Treats simulation as a key aspect of process design rather than as an optional add-on.

Highlights

The Bonita User Experience is a pre-packaged production environment based on web standards. It can either integrate into any kind of portal, or display a set of generic components that can be integrated into any customer-specific production environment.

Your key questions answered

• BonitaSoft views BPM from an application viewpoint, this model defines a process as an application, rather than a technology layer.
• Although it is an OSS solution, BonitaSoft has not handed off development improvements to a community, but takes full responsibility for support.
