I think it is about time for an update on free "tools for BPMN modeling." It has done since my last article on this in November 2009 a lot.

Therefore, here an update from my side. For more information on free tools are of course welcome. (more ...)

I have finally found some time for a little test with Activiti perform. Here I must confess right away that I am not a developer, and therefore destined for one or the other step needed something more. But I hope I manage to build a small example of the process, mainly because I still hope some of the modeling of the Signavio and Ecplise. In jBPM, I've never managed their own small process to "fly" to bring. Sometime during deployment was mostly concluded. (more ...)

The Fraunhofer Institute has published a new study on current BPM tools. It analyzes how the various tools support the modeling of processes in BPMN and then they can bring to execute.

There were examined eight different products:

• Cordys BOP
• ActiveVOS (Dr. Karb GmbH)
• Intalio | BPMS Works
• inubit BPM Suite
• itp Commerce Process Modeler
• MID Innovator
• Software AG webMethods
• Soreco Xpert.ivy

The study is for 120 € at the Fraunhofer Institute in http://www.dm.iao.fraunhofer.de/lit/studien/markt/bpm2010_inhalt.jsp available.

Since 12/23/2009 is an update of the free BizAgi Process Modeler available. With the update, some interesting new features are implemented: (more ...)

Currently I am always on time free BPMN tools. Sometimes, because I happened to stumble over it and I'm curious and sometimes, because I am back on my current tools, sometimes angry. So I'm on the eternal search for the perfect tool for me. Had recently spent nearly € 100 for joy with a tool, just because I thought it's the best tool ... but unfortunately it was not.

Therefore I would like to list a few BPM tools that might be able to help one or the other.
