FAQ
Frequently asked questions:
Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
-
Why are you committed to an open source project?
We believe that free software decisions should be made without restrictive licenses and long-term contracts with software vendors. For this reason, we support free and open source software projects, especially Operaton.
-
If Operaton is free, how do you make money?
We enable our customers to use Operaton in strategically important areas. Infrastructure and security considerations beyond Operaton are just some of the points that should be taken into account. In this respect, we advise and train our customers on the use of Operaton and support migration and implementation projects, as well as its long-term and reliable operation. Furthermore, at our customers' request, we also take over the voice channel back into the open source project so that Operaton can be further developed in line with customer requirements over the long term.
-
Can I download and try out the software myself?
Absolutely! Yes, this is fully possible. You can find all the information about this at https://operaton.org.

Why should I get the services from you? Can't I do it myself?
In principle, you can do all of this yourself or learn it yourself. Our services are based on decades of experience in the application and development of Operaton and its predecessor products (Camunda 7, Flowable, Activiti). Our enablement will help you become productive faster. Our support will help you accelerate the transition to seamless operations.
