How CMMN never lived up to its potential.

Even before the Object Management Group (OMG) had released the CMMN Specification in 2014, Camunda had already started building a CMMN engine. In the years that followed, we invested in symbol support, modeling capabilities, and admin tools.  But after a couple of years, we decided that we would not be adding any more CMMN features to Camunda and that it will simply be maintained but not fully supported. This post is about the experience Camunda and its Community had with the CMMN standard and how this led to the choices we made to first embrace and then distance ourselves from CMMN.  The Promise of CMMN Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN) was introduced as a direct result of the massive…

Camunda’s Evolution: An Open, Distributed Platform

We have recently released the first iteration of the OpenAPI documentation, which is a big step towards making Camunda a more technology independent platform. The journey up until now is very much worth discussing. Camunda started off as a lovely, lightweight java project, which was intended to be used by Java developers to embed in their projects so that they could orchestrate their processes. As far as this mission statement goes – it was, of course, a great success. The features we created focused on the Java ecosystems and the needs of Java developers, which is obvious considering that our community was almost exclusively made-up of Java folk. There came a time, one which I assume happens often for open…

The Collaborative Community of BPMN enthusiasts

This month 10 years ago, BPMN 2.0 was finalized and adopted as a standard, which in itself is something Camunda is happy to celebrate.But what has happened in the BPM space in the meantime is probably the most interesting thing about BPMN 2.0. A whole ecosystem and community has grown from the standard. While it originally came into existence to give the process building community a unified language, it sparked a lot of independent innovation. This was because turning a visual process language into an executable framework brought in a lot of new ways of thinking about processes, so modelers, engines and reporting tools began springing up – all around the same standard. So 10 years on we’ve arrived at…

How Real Estate company Keller Williams became a Technology Leader

Keller Williams is the world‘s leading real estate agency, employing more than 180,000 agents across the globe. This incredible growth story began in a single office in Texas, USA, in 1983, based on the core belief that real estate is all about relationships. Gary Keller, co-founder of Keller Williams, stated in 2018 that his company no longer wanted to be recognized as a real estate company, but as a technology company. “That means we build the technology… that means we hire technologists.” Driven by a desire to foster meaningful relationships, Keller Williams wanted to provide a seamless user experience for agents and customers (both home sellers and buyers) as they navigated the real estate market. They envisioned a highly flexible…
