Did you see this mention in Jason Brooks’ recent review of Bonita Open Solution? “I found [the Bonita Community forums] to be a good source of information as I felt my way through the product.”

Way to go, Bonita community!

The Latest from R&D

We were reminded this past week that the public visibility (transparency) of our Roadmap is somewhat unusual among BPM vendors. (Maybe this isn’t so obviously unusual to the open source community!) Anyone can follow the development of Bonita Open Solution Release 5.3 here.

What useful suggestions do you have to improve Bonita?

They’re blogging about us

If you haven't seen it, check out this recent review of Bonita Open Solution by Jason Brooks at eWeek.com. Jason's goal for the application was "to create a Web interface through which the analysts could view unread product pitches, and then select, review and comment on these pitches." Hmm. That sounds like it would be a dandy contender for the Process Challenge.
