History
The company was founded by a team of alumnae from Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI) in Potsdam, Germany.[4]
Prior to Signavio, the founders were involved in development of the world's first web modeler for BPMN at HPI. This technology, known as the "Oryx project", was published under an Open Source license and served as blueprint for the Signavio Process Manager.
Signavio is headquartered in Berlin, Germany. In 2012 the company was incorporated in the United States as Signavio Inc. with an office in Burlington, MA. The company is fully owned by the founders and staff.
