Activiti was released in December and we already got quite some customers and see a lot of interesting projects starting, despite the relatively young project!

Wir wollen mal wieder unser Team vergrößern, denn es ist viel zu tun. Activiti und BPMN – also unsere absoluten Kernthemen – aber auch jBPM gehen weg wie warme Semmeln.
