Bonitasoft has been included in The Forrester Wave™: Digital Process Automation Software Q4 2023 with its flagship software Bonita, the widely adopted open-source DPA platform for business process automation.

In their 26-criterion evaluation of digital process automation (DPA) providers, Forrester identified the most significant ones and researched, analyzed, and scored them. 

“Bonitasoft’s open-source approach drives innovation for technical customers. Bonitasoft goes to market with a free open-source offering that can upgrade to a paid, supported model with more extensive features. Its approach is contrarian: It focuses on professional, not citizen, developers and does not push a platform strategy. The small company punches above its weight, competing effectively against much larger players.”

The Bonitasoft evaluation in the report continues, “All references used professional developers to build applications and said that direct vendor support was exceptional. Shortlist Bonitasoft if you favor open source, do not require comprehensive functionality from a single vendor, and have the technical resources to drive the project.”

“We are pleased to be in the Forrester Wave for digital process automation,” said Charles Souillard, Bonitasoft co-founder and CEO. “Our pure-player BPM approach to digital process automation is well appreciated by the technical teams who use Bonita to design, build, and deploy strategically important, highly customized business processes, both on the cloud and increasingly, on premise for highly regulated companies and those with high-security concerns.”

Frequently asked questions
Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam.
How is Ofelia Assistant different from an AI chatbot or copilot?
Chatbots and copilots generate answers from general knowledge. Ofelia Assistant retrieves your enterprise procedures, guides employees through each step, and orchestrates actions across teams and systems. Not answers - execution, with full compliance and traceability.
Does it work with both Slack and Microsoft Teams?
Add your answer here.
What about security, compliance, and governance?
Built in from day one. 15+ years of enterprise BPA heritage underneath. Human-in-the-loop at critical steps. Full traceability by design. The AI guides employees through the right procedure — so compliance isn't enforced after the fact, it's the natural way work gets done.
What kind of knowledge can it access?
Your enterprise documentation: policies, procedures, SOPs, knowledge bases. Scope is defined per user profile and per geography. Ofelia answers only from authorized sources. When information is missing, it says so explicitly and points to the right human contact.
How fast can we start?
Weeks, not months. Phase one is the AI assistant: answers and team coordination in Slack or Teams, no system integration required. Real value from day one. From there, you grow into execution automation system by system, at your pace.
