Survey as part of my bachelor thesis on the topic of "Diffusion rate of OS business software"

[Rezan Kedik]

Hello everybody,

in the moment i am writing my bachelor thesis on the topic "Diffusion rate of open source business software".

I want to ask you (the Community) who is using and/or supporting the Software "jBPM", if you would conduct the quick survey, based on the software "jBPM".

Under the following link, you can start with these: https://www.umfrageonline.com/s/54e5d89

I would be very grateful, if you could take the time and conduct the survey.

Best regards
(Mrs)

Hello Rezan, 

I don't know if you are aware that Red Hat provides Enterprise grade support for jBPM.

Red Hat Process Automation Manager is the product that contains among others the jBPM bits.

Red Hat has many customers using it.

Maybe you might find of interest the following whitepaper from IDC:

Some excerpts:

Red Hat Process Automation Manager was adopted successfully by enterprises to improve the

performance speed of decision automation and to lower the overall cost of managing and automating

business processes. Even though customers had to replace out-of-the-box frameworks by rebuilding them

in RHPAM, customers were able to achieve significant cost benefits and use Red Hat as a standardized

approach to process automation across their enterprise.

Customers effectively began to systematically replace more expensive BPM and business rules offerings

with Red Hat and gained both performance and cost benefits as a result. The ROI was strongly positive, and

despite the need to extend RHPAM, the payback was 10 months on average for the customers interviewed.

These customers were from very large enterprises skilled in Java development.
