Open process automation

Operaton Enterprise Support from itemis

Business-critical processes need a platform the organisation controls permanently. itemis guides companies through the secure operation, evolution, and migration to Operaton.

The starting point

We hear this often.

Camunda is changing the rules

Camunda 7 CE is reaching end of life. Camunda 8 moves to cloud models and new licensing costs. Existing BPMN investments are under scrutiny, and migration pressure is growing.

Vendor lock-in is becoming a risk

Proprietary platforms tie business-critical processes to external roadmaps and pricing decisions that your organisation has no control over.

Production-critical processes need stability

Approval, integration, and decision processes run around the clock. Unplanned platform changes or licence shifts simply aren't an option.

The platform

What is Operaton?

Operaton is the community-driven open-source continuation of Camunda 7 Community Edition, developed by companies and individuals committed to long-term platform stability without vendor lock-in.

The platform provides BPMN-based process automation and DMN-based decision logic built on open standards. Existing Camunda 7 architectures, integrations, and APIs remain compatible. Switching to Operaton doesn’t require starting from scratch.

itemis is lead committer in the Operaton project and is directly involved in shaping the platform’s strategic direction.
