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.

We developed a solution based on the Bonita Platform to allow users to subscribe to services and automate the validation of those subscriptions. The workflow controls the eligibility of the user to subscribe, call multiple micro-services, and respond with the list of services available. If anything fails, depending on the type of error, the main workflow is automatically retried using an error handling workflow or ended with the detailed error saved.

Bonita platform is used for an HR portal, including data and process from HR and others entity, using connector extensions to get and put information from and in other applications. The goal is « just say once and we present everything for you ». We also use Bonita platform for financial processes, with a 0-error result.

I used Bonita to make a proof of concept for a new application for one of our client. It will be used to handle tax declarations.
It will replace an existing purpose-built application that is old and un-upgradable. It will also give the client way more control over its processes and workflows.

We used Bonita Platform to support claims process at our customer in insurance sector. The process is focused on long lived instances with multiple attachments of different types, stored in a non-standard document management system. Bonita Platform has offered a good balance between customizability and time to value. What was also important for us was ability to enable customer IT to understand and take over further development of the system. It worked fine. What I would appreciate in the future versions though is support for more recent GUI frameworks and easier deployment model, in kubernetes environments in particular.

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.

We use the platform to allow the FDJ core domain team, the ability to develop and create business workflow without technical skills. We developed all the tooling around the Bonita Platform to interact with the rest of the FDJ software platform.

We use Bonita Platform for process automation in a wide range of solutions, from simple process automation to complex projects, implementing orchestration and choreography of processes using Bonita BPM. As our developers have a Java background, we don´t face problems implementing solutions based on the Bonita Platform, but this is also due to the fact that we made the Bonita courses for developers and administrators.

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

For workflow automation to save time and cost, which will be an ongoing process and change based on business requirements. We are targetting the workload that currently has to be done by individual staff users, which could be automated and has repeated workload and the organization is looking for a proper solution and we are doing POC and testing with a few different products.

We started using Bonita in 2008 for some automation projects when it was part of the Bull group in France with versions 3.x and 4. After Bonitasoft was formed we signed on as partners in late 2009 and are probably one of the older ones at this time, having worked with Bonita 5.0 onwards. Since 2008 we've implemented the Bonita platform in the community and subscription versions for several customers in different industries (government, industry, technology, pharma) in Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. The Bonita Platform helps our customers organize their work and have visibility of the status of their process instances. One very important aspect is the integration with ECM software (Alfresco in our case) so that the platform is used as an ECM/BPM solution. Integration is seamless through built-in connectors and we can also create specific customer connectors, apply scripting in Groovy and develop custom REST APIs. Some customers are also currently migrating to the Bonita UI designer for their solution needs.

We implement Bonitasoft on different organizations, Educational, Insurance, Invoice delivery. It has a core based on services [that] helps companies with a dynamic integration, Bonitasoft is not married with a particular type of Organization and this makes the process development on this platform can be configurated in all aspects.

Bonitasoft BPM is our go to platform for all automation requests. It is easy to build and develop custom applications with BPM studio. We have automated a large part of our sales activity and budget tracking with BPM. It's very easy to create responsive UI pages and our end users love the experience. BPM Platform is also very stable and allows us to generate a lot of cases without any noticeable dip in performance. We hardly have to perform any housekeeping and system monitoring. Based on excellent user reviews, we plan to improve our processes even further. We are motivated to upgrade to the latest version of Bonita as our management team is very happy with the platform.

We can easily implement new ways of working for companies. We help organizations have a better quality of work by implementing BPM solutions using Bonita. We can easily discuss with stakeholder on a BPMN basis then work with IT teams on the integration with IT ecosystem. Bonita is a marvelous tool to discuss with a large portion of [the] non-IT population and help them industrialize low value added tasks.

The Bonita Platform is being used as the basis for a research project and as a BPMS in undergraduate disciplines. The research project is being validated with the implementation of a Process Automation Office, having already implemented five internal processes at the UFSC Institution (HEI). The following criteria were defined for mapping and selecting processes: in cycle #1, they should preferably be primary processes for the CTC sponsor, especially those that are common to other academic units at HEI; cycle #2 should be shorter, in order to adjust the BPAO model; in cycle #3, the BPAO lifecycle method of process automation should be reapplied with another institutional instance, external to the CTC, and higher hierarchically in HEI.

We optimize business processes thanks to Bonita. The various business lines of the company are affected, from the management of customer files to support services, including mail management. The Bonita solution allows the company to automate some of the low value-added tasks, but it also helps users in more complex processes through request forms and an intelligent task allocation system that considers assignments and the skills of each employee.

We are using the Bonita Platform to address our BPM-related requirements. Currently, we are in the process of migrating our Pega-BPM application to the Bonita platform considering the user license freedom as well as open-source flexibility. We are also looking for an opportunity to explore their party OCR tool integration to serve our invoice automation business.

Bonita BPM is the principal tool we are currently using to automate our processes. So far, the experience has been excellent. We have deployed two processes with Bonita BPM to manage employee travel requests and vendor payment. We have also deployed our credit approval process on the platform and so far, we have seen great improvement in the credit approval process.
