[September 06, 2011] Konica-Minolta Selects BonitaSoft's Business Process Management Software Tweet Sep 06, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- BonitaSoft, a provider of open source business process management (BPM), announced that Konica-Minolta France has implemented its solution to optimize the company's contract management processes as part of its migration to a service-oriented architecture. Konica-Minolta is a provider of printing equipment and a major player in the optics, medical imaging and industrial measurement markets. "We adopted an SOA-architecture and broke down our information system into a number of smaller, easily maintainable components. The end goal was to improve our responsiveness and the quality of our customer relations," said Xavier Riehl, Head of information systems, sales administration, development and quality at Konica-Minolta. "As we had decided to migrate our Lotus Notes infrastructure over to a service-oriented architecture, we had to implement a new, more modern process automation and management solution that was suited to our business issues." "A lot of the solutions currently available on the market are closed, which makes it impossible not only to develop new connectors but also to control the older developments," said Franck Inglebert, Head of development at Konica-Minolta France. "BonitaSoft not only met these requirements, but what's more, its graphic modelling approach helped us to quickly master the product, which was crucial as we were on a very ambitious schedule." Following the success of this first implementation, Konica-Minolta reported that its teams are now planning to roll out BonitaSoft for some of the company's other key processes, including approving supplier invoices and payment authorizations, managing its automobile fleet, expense forms and quality monitoring. BonitaSoft democratizes business process management (BPM) by bringing open source BPM to organizations of all sizes and industries.
