Behind the Scenes with BonitaSoft (15-30 June 11)

Dear Community,

The maintenance release 5.5.1 of Bonita Open Solution is out! Download it from here (it will download automatically; no need to re-register if you are already part of the BOS community).

The latest from R&D and Services

The sprinting to the finish has begun – and the first new/improved usability features for the next release (~Fall 2011) are beginning to appear. We’ve got improvements to Bonita Studio to make designing process models easier and more attractive, improvements to the Form Builder to make designing end user forms easier and more attractive, improvements to the email connector to make designing email messages easier and more attractive…

We’re just getting warmed up.

Some recent consulting work at [a large multinational company] has produced some interesting results – somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 processes, across multiple countries and company affiliates, to manage internal financial transactions. Now that the current processes have been identified and modeled, the next step is to refine the models to be executable – including connecting them to some dozen existing IT tools in current use.

Bonita Open Solution released into the wild, now being tamed with the help of our experts.

Contributions

We've got a useful new Connector: load a properties in a file - Get properties in a file located on the system or “in classpath.”
