Features

Bizagi BPMN Process Modeler is a freeware application to graphically diagram and document processes in a standard format known as Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN). Its "intelisense behavior" allows non-technical users to diagram processes by dragging and dropping shapes. Once the process diagrams and the corresponding documentation have been created they can be exported to Word, PDF, Visio, the web or SharePoint [4] to be shared with people who do not have the Modeler installed.

Once the process diagrams are finished in the Process Modeler, they can be exported to bizagi BPM Suite for process/workflow automation. Diagrams can be built directly on the Suite as well. The Suite consists of two tools: Bizagi Studio, which is the construction module and Bizagi BPM Server for execution and control. In Bizagi Studio, the user can graphically define the model associated to the business process (flowchart, business rules, user interface, etc.) for process execution. This includes the forms that will be displayed in the Work Portal for the end user to interact with the process. Models are stored in a database and then used at runtime for process execution by bizagi BPM Server. Bizagi BPM Server executes a web application or Work Portal for end users.

Bizagi BPM Suite offers a number of pre-built features such as: Graphic real-time tracking and monitoring, alarms and notifications, performance analysis and reporting, auditing and traceability and workload routing and balancing. Bizagi BPM Suite is a quality-proven and robust BPM solution. Bizagi BPM Suite can also be integrated with CRM and ERP systems.

Applications

Bizagi follows a "no code" approach, which allows to create process driven applications, coordinating both people and systems without the need of programming. Bizagi can be used to diagram and automate any kind of process, from a simple to a very complex one.
