What next with Camunda 7?
Many companies are currently facing the same question: What to do with Camunda 7 EE / CE? Upgrade to Camunda 8? Switch to CIB seven? Or is BPMN no longer the right approach in future?
The answer is rarely as simple as “migrate now”. There is often a lack of a neutral, technology-agnostic assessment that honestly evaluates all options – without vendor lock-in and without rash decisions.
This is exactly where we come in.
Our offer: 5 steps – 1 clear basis for decision-making With our structured support, we go through 5 clearly defined steps together – from stocktaking to the final decision basis. No vendor bias, no upselling – just honest advice. Scope: Depending on the size and complexity of your Camunda landscape, we need 2-5 days. Smaller instances are fully analyzed in just 2 days, while more complex environments benefit from the full 5-day support. |
5 steps to the future decision
Our tried-and-tested procedure guides you in a structured manner from stocktaking to a well-founded decision:
1 | Step 1: Initial situation & target image ✓ Classification of your existing Camunda 7 landscape ✓ Clarification of functional and technical requirements ✓ Where do you really need BPMN – and where not? |
2 | Step 2: Architecture & process evaluation ✓ Evaluation of existing processes and use cases ✓ Differentiation: BPMN useful vs. state engine sufficient vs. other orchestration ✓ Identification of unnecessary complexity |
3 | Step 3: Comparison of technology options ✓ Stay on Camunda 7 (incl. support options) ✓ Migration to CIB seven ✓ Migration to Camunda 8 ✓ Alternatives beyond classic BPM engines ✓ Classification of effort, risk and added value |
4 | Step 4: Migration & decision variants ✓ Concrete scenarios (short, medium and long term) ✓ What does which path mean organizationally and technically? ✓ Dependencies, risks, quick wins |
5 | Step 5: Recommendation & basis for decision ✓ Clear, understandable recommendation for your management ✓ Decision document for IT, specialist department and management ✓ Next sensible steps (without obligation) |
Flexible scope – to suit your situation Compact (approx. 2 days): For smaller Camunda instances with a manageable process landscape. All 5 steps are run through – in condensed form. Comprehensive (up to 5 days): For complex environments with many processes, multiple teams or regulatory requirements. Each step is developed in depth. |
Our approach: honest, practical, technology-agnostic
| ✓ | Technology-agnostic – We recommend what suits you – not what we want to sell |
| ✓ | Practical instead of theoretical – Based on real project experience in banks and insurance companies |
| ✓ | Consulting before implementation – First understand, then decide – not the other way around |
| ✓ | Focus on added business value – No tool dogmas, but measurable results |
“Not every process needs BPMN. Not every migration makes sense. Sometimes a simple state engine is the better solution.” |
