We are very happy with the bpm platform Activiti in combination with the support by camunda. Of course there are the usual restrictions in dealing with open source. But the producers of commercial solutions are not different from the rest of us but then sell their products for high prices. With Activiti we have a wide range of possibilities as well as the safeguard through the support by camunda. And all this for reasonable conditions – all things considered clearly the better choice, especially in an agile environment. Michael Paulsen, Head of IT |

We didn’t only learn, why and how to use this platform but also a lot of tips and tricks directly from the practical use of process automation. This gave us a general orientation as well as the competence to get started with Activiti right away. Matthias Meyer |

I am very satisfied with the Activiti training by camunda. We decided to use Activiti in our product eximee. The training conducted by camunda assured us that it was the right choice.

We held a two day in-house seminar about „BPMN 2.0 Process Engine“. Camunda led us with remarkable in-depth and detailed knowledge through the subject. The range between ‘BPMN modelling’ and ‘implementation details Activiti Engine’ was very wide. I especially liked that we could discuss possibilities of solutions with regards to our existing software environment. Camunda gave us excellent support as an interested listener with a lot of problem solving competence and was constantly referring to our concrete problem. We are looking forward to a continuing good cooperation. Diploma Information Scientist Tobias Otto, Group Manager Development |

In two days camunda has reviewed our jBPM architecture and the modeling approach regarding BPMN 2.0. Camunda showed us prioritized our potential for improvement; the work with camunda was friendly and constructive, recommendable! Bernd Knobloch, IT Business Services & Applications |

Camunda was selected from a large, international selection of vendors to perform a three day on-site training workshop on BPMN and Activiti for our analysts, software architects, designers and developers. The content was of a high standard and well-structured with a good balance between theoretical and practical topics. The trainer was well prepared and professional with excellent hands-on knowledge and experience on the topics. Their involvement in the Activiti open source project provided unique insight and advice to successfully leverage this component to its maximum. We see camunda as a key partner to help us deliver smarter systems. Christhonie Geldenhuys, Head Solutions Architect |

I am very happy with how the workshop went, I would recommend Camunda to others without reservation. We had planned for this to not be a traditional training but rather a deep dive in how we use or want to use Activiti and what sort of options we have with regards to various customization and other scenarios and that is exactly what we got. Thank you for the willingness to go deep into the Activiti internals and explain any and all topics that we threw at you, this has been extremely useful to us and will save us many man-days (and headaches) in the future. I look forward to working with Camunda again in the future. Boris Terzic, Software Architect |

The support by camunda has been very helpful. We were able to solve some thinking blockades with the information gathered and improve our perfomances satisfactory in a short time. Moreover we have received valuable information about the application possibilities of process engines and jBPM. Martin Jahr, Senior Expert, Enterprise Content Managment |

I have already participated in serveral online courses but the Activiti crashcourse by camunda has significantly exceeded my experiences so far. Quickly it becomes clear that camunda has a record of year-long experience in BPM and process engine projects. The online course was professional, target-oriented and showed on a practicel level how Activiti can be applied successfully. After the course I was able to evaluate the possibilities and limitations of Activiti. I can only recommend this course. Michael Gantenbein |

The workshop has answered our questions about Activiti very well, also about its technical depths, and so proved to be a valuable contribution in evaluating Activiti in terms of its deployablility at one of our important customers. It becomes clear that camunda provides first-hand information and knowledge and enjoys the topic. We are looking forward to continuing the cooperation. Christian Maiworm, Senior Managing Consultant |

The support by camunda during an ongoing Activiti project has been very helpful for us. Not only were many questions around BPMN and Activiti promptley answered but also we were able to implement extensions to the Activiti engine within the support agreement with camunda. As a result we are able to work in short release cycles in the project without workarounds and patches. We enjoyed the friendly, uncomplicated but professional cooperation. Absolutely recommendable. Torsten Winterberg, Director Strategy and Innovation, Head of Competence Center SOA , Oracle ACE Director |

The Activiti 5 seminar was a well-rounded training. The location created an atmosphere to feel good. We were well taken care of and the interaction was very collegial. Details are very important at camunda, the recommended hotels have been personally inspected beforehand. Everything fit together. The seminar itself was great, with only four participants there was lots of time left to talk about the presented contents and to make sure that the essentials were understood. The practical exercises of coding to see a workflow with Activiti in action were very helpful, but maybe a little too short – the training could have gone on for just one more day. In any case the seminar eases the start to your own application development significantly. Another seminar at camunda? Every time! Dr. Stefan Rieß |

The Activiti training was an excellent introduction into the topic and has helped us very much. The trainer was able to answer technical questions on a very high level and elaborate on our requirements in a workshop atmosphere. Still, the training remained very balanced and also introduced beginners to the subject. It is obvious that camunda helps to develop Activiti themselves on the one hand and on the other hand has trained this subject for some time now. Activiti itself has also convinced us. Achim Weiß, CEO |

We were very satisfied with the training by camunda. This was due to the very competent trainer on the one hand, and on the other because of the well balanced mixture of theory and practical exercises. The five-day long training was rounded off by comprehensive explanations, the respond to our individual issues and a very pleasant atmosphere. We were confirmed in our decision to take camunda fox stack (Activiti and Java EE6) into action. André Ruehmkorf, Inhouse Consulting |

The workshop confirmed us in our decision to integrate a workflow system in our existing system instead of implementing our integrated processes ourselves. During the workshop we gained an excellent insight in BPMN 2.0 and especially in Activiti. We were encouraged that with Activiti we would gain a highly-productive framework, which will be, with the support by camunda, integrated without bigger problems. The workshop absolutely fulfilled our expectations. Tobias Hilka, Vice President Application Software Development |
