Cordys, the leading provider of software for business process innovation deployable in the Cloud as a complete Platform as a Service (PaaS), has launched an Open Community version of its award winning Cordys Process Factory On-Demand platform for developing and executing process enabled mashup applications (MashApps).
The Cordys Process Factory Community Edition provides users with free licenses and unlimited access to Community MashApps for personal use. This new edition empowers the Open Development community and BPM professionals to use best practice and self-defined BPM solutions in a 100% web-based environment, making faster business innovation a possibility for everyone, wherever they are located.
Utilising Cordys multi-tenant Platform as a Service (PaaS) technology, the Cordys Process Factory offers users unlimited access for development purposes to create new business processes and web-based, process-centric applications or use existing community MashApps, whenever they need to.
Users of the Community Edition of Cordys Process Factory are able to create applications on the fly and execute them immediately. They are further provided with comprehensive web-based support including knowledge containers, online documentation and webinars, FAQ’s, Wikis and Forums.
Cordys has also established an open community where users can share and publish community MashApps, process models, discuss ideas, and learn about best practices.
Jan Baan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cordys, said: “Our new Open BPM environment enable’s the developer community to build and run their own MashApps by simply combining standard business applications such as Google apps and commercially available services, with web services from anywhere, with the same levels of security as traditional platform implementations. Instead of buying traditional software licenses and the associated supporting infrastructure, users of this Community Edition of Cordys Process Factory are able to access, use, improve and innovate their business processes and services On-Demand, at any time and any place, completely free of charge.”
According to Jon Pyke, Chief Strategy Officer of Cordys, “On-Demand process and application building technology is going to lead the next phase of process thinking. Being able to deliver situational applications in such a way as to put control of process and applications into the hands of the business user is likely to disrupt the current BPM thinking and will radically alter the dynamics of the market today.”
“Today’s market conditions require extremely fast innovation which is not possible in traditional software development and implementation models”, says Pyke. “Such speed of change can only be achieved with an open, global community of application and BPM professionals. Cordys now provides this community with the tools to increase their pace of innovation in a tremendous way.”
The award winning Cordys Process Factory is a multi-tenant platform which facilitates the rapid development and deployment of Web 2.0 applications. This secure, reliable, simple-to-use platform can be delivered as a service in the Cloud for use by anyone at anytime. Business users can create customised MashApps with drag-and-drop technology, giving them the power to adapt their applications quickly and easily.
