About the Activiti BPM Suite

Activiti is a Business Process Management (BPM) and workflow system targeted at business people, developers and system admins. Its core is a super-fast and rock-solid BPMN 2 process engine for Java. It's open-source and distributed under the Apache license. Activiti runs in any Java application, on a server, on a cluster or in the cloud. It integrates perfectly with Spring, it is extremely lightweight and based on simple concepts.

Our Contribution to Activiti

The first time we got in contact with Tom was in 2003 when we needed bpm functions in our projects. Meanwhile we run the B2B by Practice platform which is productive at more than 100 companies at the moment and the transaction volume exceeds 5.000.000 processes a day (especially because of the energy regulations in germany). We will broaden the usage of out platform to other usecases and industries. Having BPMN2.0 native functionality will be one key success factor. We are happy to  contribute from the beginning to Activiti. Tom's ideas and concepts fit perfect and the B2B by Practice User will take enormous advantage of the new embedded Activiti  functionality.

First public Activiti Keynote by Tom Baeyens

Tom gave his the first public talk about the new BPM Project at the annual B2B by Practice user conference. More than 80 participants listened and discussed activiti. Next Level Integration demonstrated this use of activiti as the embedded BPM engine in B2B by Practice.

Activiti, B2B by Practice and Next Level Integration

Next Level Integration GmbH is focusing in Portal and System Integration - located in Windhagen and Cologne in Germany. We founded an open source project "B2B by Practice" which is used e.g. by more than 100 customers in the utility industry for Intercompany Data Exchange.

The next evolution phase of B2B by Practice is to advance from a rocket solid B2B and EAI platform to a complete BPM suite. As we think that BPMN2.0 is a major step in standardization we will to support it natively in B2B by Practice.

Right time Right Place: We regard it as a big opportunity to contribute to activiti from the beginning! The Users of B2B by Practice will be able to use BPMN2.0 functionality seamless integrated into our platform, which will allow numerous new use cases and further reduction of IT costs. The first delivery will be End of November containing process of german meter operator regulations (MSB/MDL).

Stay tuned!
