Major Release - flying dog BPM Platform with AI Integration and new Workflow Studio

We are pleased to introduce a significant new release of our Enterprise BPM platform ([version number to be inserted]) today. This version marks a decisive step forward and underscores our commitment to innovation, user-friendliness, and providing powerful tools that meet the complex requirements of modern enterprises.

At the heart of this update are two transformative developments: The seamless integration of Artificial Intelligence through our new AI Control Hub and the complete redesign of our central editor, the Workflow Studio. Both innovations aim to increase the efficiency of your process automation, accelerate development, and elevate the user experience to a new level.

Introducing 2025.1: A Leap Forward for Your Processes

The new Release 2025.1 is more than just an update; it is the result of intensive development work, valuable customer feedback, and our strategic vision for the future of process automation. We have focused not only on creating new functionalities but on fundamentally improving the core interaction with our platform to maximize performance and user-friendliness.

This release forms the foundation for future innovations and ensures that our customers have a robust, scalable, and future-proof platform that grows with their requirements – all while maintaining full control through on-premises operation and seamless integration capabilities.

Rethought, Redesigned: The Workflow Studio

The Workflow Studio, as the central hub for creating and managing your workflows, has been redeveloped from the ground up. Our goal was to create an intuitive, efficient, and modern working environment that simplifies even complex tasks. The redesigned user interface reduces click paths, improves clarity, and guides users more logically through the design process.

We have placed special emphasis on a clear structure, improved navigation, and optimized presentation of process logic, actions, and configurations. The result is an editor that is not only more powerful but also makes that power more accessible. The learning curve is shortened while the productivity of process designers increases.

Intelligence Integrated: The New AI Capabilities with the AI Control Hub

A milestone of this release is the introduction of the AI Control Hub. As one of the first BPM vendors, we use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable a secure, standardized, and controlled connection to leading Large Language Models (LLMs). This is not an uncontrolled black box, but a controllable interface that gives you the benefits of AI without surrendering sovereignty over your data or processes.

In practical terms, this means: You can now interact directly via chat in the Workflow Studio or other editors to create or modify process diagrams. Describe the desired workflow, and the AI assists you with the implementation. Similarly, you can define form requirements in dialogue, and the AI Control Hub helps generate the corresponding structures in the Form Builder.

Practical Examples: AI and UI Improvements in Enterprise Use

Imagine a department head wants to create a new approval process for capital expenditure requests (CapEx). With the new AI features, they can describe the workflow in natural language and receive an initial draft of the process directly in the system. A process designer can then quickly refine this draft in the redesigned Workflow Studio, add required system integrations (e.g., to SAP), and have the necessary forms defined with AI assistance.

Another example: A complex export control workflow needs to be adapted due to new regulations. The improved clarity and navigation in the new Workflow Studio allows the responsible architect to identify the affected areas more quickly and implement the changes more efficiently. The clearer presentation of rules and actions reduces the risk of errors.

Strategic Alignment: Efficiency, Intelligence, and Control

This major release reflects our core philosophy: We offer enterprise software characterized by efficiency, intelligence, and full control. The redesign of the Workflow Studio directly addresses efficiency and user-friendliness. The AI Control Hub brings forward-looking intelligence to the platform, while our commitment to on-premises deployment, open standards (MCP, Open Source BPMN Editor), and high customizability (CI templates, JS hooks) ensures our customers maintain control.

We believe that the combination of powerful low-code tools, intuitive usability, and intelligent assistance functions is the key to mastering the process challenges of tomorrow.

Discover the New Dimension of Process Automation

With Release 2025.1, we are setting new standards in enterprise process automation. The combination of a fundamentally improved Workflow Studio and the innovative AI functions of the AI Control Hub enables you to develop processes faster, manage them more easily, and design them more intelligently.

We cordially invite you to discover the new possibilities. Interested parties are welcome to request an individual live demo to experience the new features in action.
