Testimonial
In Camunda we found a BPM engine that grows flexibly and can be easily customized by Java developers. The step towards executable process models was particularly easy with Camunda BPM because more than any other Business Process Management System Camunda BPM consistently works with BPMN 2.0.
Decisive for contracting Camunda was also the licensing model. Especially for small and medium-sized projects DB Systel is increasingly using Open Source. Not to be dependent on a single vendor thanks to open-source software was rated as an additional advantage.

Replacement of a document-based business process
Together with the external consultants of Ancud and econauten, DB Systel has launched an innovative project to replace heavy document-based business processes. Camunda BPM supplies the project managers with a BPM engine that grows flexibly with the project and can be easily customized by Java developers.
