Overall Satisfaction with Bonita Platform

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.

As I mentioned in another answer to this research, the non-functional usability requirement is one of the weaknesses of Bonita, especially with the mechanisms for generating interfaces, but also in the development environment.
Integration with legacy systems is very efficient through connectors and web services.
Bonita Platform is better suited for organizations with well-defined structure. Bonita is also very efficient in both simple and complex processes, allowing for easy integration with legacy systems. Bonita Platform faces difficulties with information technology sectors focusing on classic methodologies for developing software solutions.
