Today, our new mother Software AG issued a press release about ARIS Community attracting more than 50,000 members in the first year. In fact, ARIS Community is now the biggest pure BPM community in the world.
The PR people gave this press release a nice twist by adding a balance sheet. Here are the key figures for the first year they mentioned:
- 50,000 members within first year
- over 50,000 ARIS Express installations
- over 6,000 ARIS MashZone installations
Besides, I also want to add some additional figures you might be interested in:
- more than 3,400 articles and dicussion threads
- more than 5,500 comments
- 50 active groups
- almost 150 shared BPM sample models
- more than 2,000 daily visitors
- about 65 blocked user accounts because of spamming :-)
Our mission has always been to spread the word about BPM. We believe that BPM is a useful tool for everyone, no matter if you are working in a multi-national cooperation or a small shop. We provide everything you need to get started for free, e.g.:
- free modelling tool ARIS Express
- free version of business intelligence tool ARIS MashZone
- free e-learning courses about BPM
- free e-book about process intelligence
- free BPM sample models
- articles about recent BPM insights and developments
Personally, I believe that we just saw the beginning of BPM application in industry. But to also attract new users, we need your help. Please inform your peers about BPM and what it offers. Point them to the free resources mentioned above so that they can start immediately. Also, contact us if you have ideas how to improve ARIS Community or if you have an idea for an article to be published on ARIS BPM Blog.
Finally, a big thank-you to everyone supporting us in our mission!
