Camunda

A platform that enables the modelling, automation and monitoring of business processes within an organisation.

Platform for business process automation

Today’s businesses have to deal with increasingly complex processes that require automation, flexibility and integration with multiple systems. Camunda is an open source platform for business process management (BPM), workflow automation and decision-making based on BPMN 2.0, CMMN and DMN standards. It enables companies to model, automate and monitor processes transparently and flexibly.

What is Camunda?

Camunda is a state-of-the-art platform that enables the automation of business processes in companies. It is a tool that allows easy process modelling with BPMN 2.0 diagrams, case management with CMMN and decision modelling with DMN. Camunda also provides advanced integration with other systems so that it can be used in extended business environments.

Camunda provides a process engine that is powerful, flexible and easy to integrate into a variety of environments, such as microservices, cloud applications or traditional systems. The platform is available in both open source and enterprise versions, offering commercial support and additional features.

Key features

BPMN 2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation) – Camunda supports the BPMN 2.0 standard for modelling and automating business processes. This enables processes in an organisation to be visually represented and executed for greater transparency and control.

CMMN 1.1 (Case Management Model and Notation) – Camunda also supports case modelling, which allows the management of processes requiring human decisions and more flexible procedures than classic BPMN processes.

DMN 1.3 (Decision Model and Notation) – Allows the creation and management of decision rules in the form of decision tables, which allows automatic decision-making depending on various variables.

Integration with microservices – Camunda runs on a microservice architecture, which enables it to integrate with different systems and applications using APIs, REST, Kafka or other protocols.

Workflow engine and decision engine – Camunda is a comprehensive platform that combines a process engine (workflow engine) and a decision rules engine (decision engine). This enables the automation of both workflows and decisions in companies.

Built-in monitoring and analysis tools – Camunda offers rich process monitoring capabilities, enabling accurate tracking of process performance and efficiency in real time.

High scalability – The platform is scalable and can handle huge workloads, making it ideal for large organisations and extended systems.
