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 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, 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.

  • Faster response from users
  • A better process across the organization wherein the back-end processes execute and the front-end user receives notifications to accomplish their tasks.

  • In our small company the community edition suited our needs. Although it is hard to talk about ROI in context of that small application.
  • We have introduced the platform to several companies. Delivering things faster, ensuring things are done, optimizing distribution and reporting what has been done are the most common benefits.

  • Bonita helped to make money by saving on external companies specialized in programming competencies with interfaces.
  • Bonita helped to reduce time to maintain code and focus on execution and control instead of customizations and devs.

  • Once it is used to implement a process in a specific way, Bonita is much more efficient than common implementations done with languages such as Java or C# (.NET).
  • Decrease in development time if the process is appropriated planned.
  • Created a process that would be more difficult if it was implemented in other ways.

  • BPM has been purchased when it has been demonstrated that one process lack of efficiency was costing around 80k€ per year to the company in manual administrative tasks
  • The use of a BPM to synchronise some common fields between two database has improve velocity and reliability of customer support communication on our bug tracking system.

  • It's less expensive to develop business process with Bonita than developing ABAP workflows in SAP or Salesforce.
  • Our countries uses Bonita, it's very important to us that our countries use the same tools as the holding [company]. It simplifies the overall IT landscape.
  • We managed to remove the old workflow tools used in our countries. We now have only one solution for the whole company.

  • We've had serious problems with 'automated' processes in earlier versions of Bonita (via Talend), especially with connectors. In Bonita 7 we replaced these with REST calls, hoping for better performance.
  • Overall, using Bonita has not had a positive impact on our development efficiency. Moving from Talend (using Bonita 5) to Bonita 7 has improved this somewhat. Still, it remains a pain to integrate Bonita in the development and delivery process.
  • Migrating from Bonita 7.0 to 7.1 has proven to be a difficult undertaking, mainly on the database level. This has cost us a lot of time and better support would be welcomed.
