SAN FRANCISCO, November 16, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --

- Demand for Bonita Open Solution Grows 4000% in Under a Year

BonitaSoft, the leading provider of open source BPM solutions, today surpassed 500,000 downloads of Bonita Open Solution, the company's open source business process management (BPM) suite. This significant milestone comes less than a year after BonitaSoft first released Bonita Open Solution 5.0, when downloads accelerated from 1,000 per month to 40,000 per month.

"BonitaSoft has grown at an extraordinary rate over the past year, exceeding even our own expectations," said Miguel Valdes Faura, BonitaSoft CEO. "Bonita Open Solution has really taken off this year, and we don't see that trend subsiding anytime soon. We've seen an incredible level of interest from all over the world, which validates our belief that there is a massive demand for affordable, user-friendly BPM. We look forward to sustaining the momentum we've generated this year into 2011 and beyond as we continue to democratize the BPM experience."

In January 2010, BonitaSoft unveiled Bonita Open Solution 5.0, the company's first packaged distribution of the Bonita project. The company has subsequently delivered three software upgrades for Bonita Open Solution this year, with version 5.3 being released on October 19. Downloads of Bonita have increased exponentially over the past year, averaging 40,000 per month in 2010. Over one-third of these downloads have come from the U.S. market; in that time, BonitaSoft has added a number of high-profile North American companies to its growing customer list.

As interest in Bonita has surged, BonitaSoft has expanded beyond its base in the EMEA market to better meet the growing global demand. Last month, they opened their first North American offices (in San Francisco and Boston) as well as an R&D center in Beijing, China.
