What is Bonita Platform?
Bonitasoft supports digital operations and modernization of information systems with Bonita, an open-source and extensible platform for automation and optimization of business processes.
Presented as easy to handle and integrate into heterogeneous information systems, Bonita accelerates the development and deployment of process automation projects, service orchestration and application development. This is made possible by its low code capabilities, reusable components, and unified deployment on-premise and on the cloud.
CIOs can confront both short-term challenges (often from requests from business teams who wish to support their business development), and the long-term challenge of modernizing IT to deliver on business needs and customer expectations.
Open-source, extensible and integrated, Bonita is based on an architecture that clearly separates the process, data and user interface layers. All project team members can collaborate to develop, deploy and maintain sustainable processes in line with the expectations of business users. Project governance, specific to each company, is respected by a clear separation between visual programming and coding capabilities. Each project team member can leverage their specific know-how and skills to add value. The technologies used do not require learning new languages or methods, but instead rely on commonly used components such as Java, enterprise services such as SSO and LDAP, continuous delivery, and the ability to develop in SDKs. These capabilities avoid the need for additional resources.
The use of BPMN, reusable components, numerous extension points, and deployment on-premise or in the cloud all help guarantee rapid and agile developments.
Complex business processes become visible with centralized monitoring. Traceability, execution control and reduced risk of errors allow teams to focus on optimizing and improving operational efficiency on an ongoing basis.
- Monitor key metrics and indicators like cycle time, deviations, failures, and objectives such as SLAs
- Compare different versions of a process to measure the impact of changes and improvements and what factors affect process execution
- Spot bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and risks within your processes and workflows

Experience of Working with Bonita Platform
I have used the Bonita Platform Enterprise Edition for creating the POC tasks to check the feasibility of the functionality which was implemented using the other Business Process Management Tool and I have achieved the same functionality using the Bonita Platform. I have also worked on various features like UI, themes, rest API, connectors, and BDM in the Bonita Platform version 2021.2 and am also able to customize them according to the product needs. Customizing the pages, themes, profiles, etc. is very easy with the Bonita Platform and we can achieve it with normal knowledge of programming languages. One can easily deploy their applications using the Bonita Platform CI/CD feature and the reflection of changes are very smooth and efficient.
- Customization of the charts on the pages.
- Smooth and efficient deployment using Bonita Platform ci/cd.
- Connectors integration with wide varieties of third party applications.
- SOAP connector and outlook email Integration.
- Roles in the profiles.
- Landing page customization is not possible.
It is used as the process engine of the organization, where the bank's core processes are implemented, it is used as a backend and also as a front used by offices, sales forces, and from the website. The digital transformation of the business has been supported by this tool as it is the engine that orchestrates the asset contracting processes. As problems in the tool, problems have been seen in the queries of cases and in the performance of the portal due to the queries and work events that the tool handles and does not manage so quickly
- Compatibility and integration with other tools and platforms
- Rapid evolution and problem solving in its versions, it has evolved a lot since Bonita 5
- It supports open source and the development tools it provides are good like UI designer.
- There is a lack of a robust native BAM monitoring module for performance variables of the developed applications
- more robust cron or timer event task management without leaving tasks open in the tool

Digital Transformation Comes True
We're using Bonita Platform to automate administrative processes that are either new processes or are ones that have been done manually in the past.
- Efficient and fast prototyping: a process can be modeled and tried out quickly and with low investment.
- Full stack prototyping for development and implementation allows the process to be developed and implemented as an application from the prototype. It's not just drawings and wire frames that are tossed over the wall to developers.
- Data modeling is integral from the beginning of the prototype which is appropriate for the stakeholders in the beginning.
- There is a learning curve beyond the boot camps that needs to be addressed with more structured curriculum.
- The full stack technologies are industry standard, but these [are] challenging to learn and could use a learning path and orientation. There's probably opportunity for third-parties here to help with learning and adoption.
