Colosa Launches Business Process Library to Enhance Business Process Management: ProcessMaker Library

- ProcessMaker Library offers ProcessMaker community access to workflow templates –

Colosa, a leading developer of open source business process management (BPM) software that enables small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to simplify workflow through the automation of paper-based processes, has created and launched a new library of business process templates called ProcessMaker Library.

The new templates complement Colosa’s open source business process management software, ProcessMaker, which is available free for download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/processmaker.

ProcessMaker Library will be available to business managers and owners that want to simplify or implement business processes to increase the efficiency and structure of their businesses. Current downloads available include basic process management workflows and an expense report workflow. The templates are available for download at http://library.processmaker.com.

New templates will be added every month to the ProcessMaker Library, which will be a repository of a range of business process templates. Simple to use, users can read the workflow description, and then choose to download the template and import it to ProcessMaker with the click of a button. Templates offer a first-hand look at advanced ProcessMaker features, and can be adapted for Enterprise use.

ProcessMaker is commercial open source BPM software that SMEs use to simplify workflow and business processes. Enterprise users pay for support and services, and do not have to pay for licenses or upfront signup fees. ProcessMaker is a high-quality and affordable solution that allows SMEs to better compete with larger organizations by streamlining business processes and giving them greater control over how their businesses run.

“ProcessMaker Library responds to a community desire to share workflow designs,” said Patricia Cabero, ProcessMaker Community Lead. “This innovative resource will offer increased utility to ProcessMaker users and grow the community network in new and interesting ways. The Library is in Beta version, and new templates and features are coming soon.”

“ProcessMaker aims to help organizations automate and simplify business processes,” said Brian Reale, CEO of Colosa. “Adaptable workflow templates make it easy for users to manage crucial business processes with only a few clicks. SMEs, who often can’t afford more expensive proprietary solutions, will now have access to business processes that can help their businesses grow.”
