The upcoming end of support for Camunda 7 Community Edition in 2025 challenges many organizations with difficult decisions. After the release of the final version (v7.24) in October of 2025, development of the system will be stopped and the repositories will be archived and marked as deprecated. This means that there will be no future updates or security patches, which poses a significant risk to the stability and security of your organization’s business processes.
For institutions that rely on the reliability, BPMN 2.0 compliance and integration flexibility of Camunda 7, Eximee BPMS offers a thoughtful and customized solution. It is a modern, stable fork of the system designed to retain the best features of Camunda 7 while providing long-term support, security, and the ability for future development.
Eximee BPMS eliminates the risk of costly process redevelopment or difficult migration to entirely new platforms. This allows your organization to focus on key business objectives with the assurance that the technology foundation is both stable and secure. This solution helps you save time, reduce risk, maintain system continuity in a rapidly changing technology environment, and automate business processes.
Banks and other institutions using Camunda 7 are faced with the need to adopt a new strategy as support for this version of the system comes to an end. Here are the available options:
Migrating to the new version may seem like a natural step, but it comes with numerous limitations. Camunda 8 introduces significant changes in the architecture, requiring the redevelopment of existing processes and applications. In addition, licensing restrictions limit access to key features, resulting not only in additional costs, but also in integration challenges with existing infrastructure.
Companies can decide for paid support within the Camunda 7 Enterprise Edition. However, this is a temporary solution that only allows continued use of the system for the next four years. After this period, a transition to another tool will be necessary.
Other BPMN tools such as jBPM, Activiti, Flowable or Kogito can be considered. However, migrating to these solutions requires significant process change and reintegration of business systems. Although these tools have been available for years, they are rarely chosen as a replacement for Camunda, potentially increasing operational risk. Additionally, the workflow engines associated with these BPMN tools are complex and necessitate the involvement of technical experts for their management and maintenance, which can impact the scalability of BPM projects due to potential resource consumption, including deployment costs and time.
Each of these options comes with costs and technological risks. Decision makers in banks should consider whether a given strategy meets their needs for stability, security and ease of integration with existing systems. In this context, Eximee BPMS offers an attractive alternative that overcomes many of the challenges typically associated with migrating to entirely new platforms.
The vision of Eximee BPMS
For years, Consdata has successfully integrated Camunda 7 with its own low-code platform, Eximee, to provide comprehensive solutions for the banking industry. In response to the challenges posed by the end of support for Camunda 7 and the costs associated with migrating to other tools, we have developed our own solution – Eximee BPMS. This new engine, based on the latest stable version of Camunda 7, addresses the needs of companies that do not plan to migrate to Camunda 8 or make costly system changes. Eximee BPMS is designed to support enterprise-grade applications with robust and scalable features.
Eximee BPMS has been developed with the expertise of Consdata, a company that has been developing Business Process Management Systems for over a decade. Consdata is not only a creator of innovative solutions, but also a trusted partner to many institutions, including leading banks, that use its technology worldwide.
One example of Consdata’s success is Kouncil – an open source graphical interface for Apache Kafka used by banks to monitor key processes. Projects such as these demonstrate the company’s focus on delivering solutions tailored to real customer needs, while maintaining the highest standards of functionality and security.
Consdata’s experience includes not only technology development, but also a deep understanding of the challenges associated with BPMN system customization, integration, and an evolutionary approach to technology growth. Built on this foundation, Eximee BPMS offers stability, backward compatibility and secure change management, making it the ideal choice for banks looking for a reliable partner.
Eximee BPMS is an open source tool that can run in both on-premises and cloud environments. Its functionality has been tailored to meet specific user needs and business cases, leveraging Consdata’s extensive experience with the Eximee low-code platform.
Our goal is to develop Eximee BPMS in stages, ensuring full compatibility in key areas of the tool and optimizing the code. While the tool is available as open source, we also plan to introduce paid technical support services to provide customers with additional security and assistance in customizing the system to their specific needs.
Eximee BPMS offers banks the ability to maintain proven processes while minimizing the costs and risks associated with migrating to new tools. This solution combines technological stability with adaptive flexibility to meet the challenges of today's financial and other industries.
Eximee BPMS overview
Eximee BPMS was developed in response to the needs of modern organizations, including banks, operating in increasingly complex technological ecosystems. By focusing on managing business logic efficiently, the system separates data processing from query handling, allowing it to manage multiple concurrent processes while maintaining high performance and a clear architectural structure. This solution integrates seamlessly with the Eximee low-code platform and other systems built on modern architectural patterns.
Eximee BPMS is designed for efficiency. The modularity of the system allows its components to be adapted to specific business needs, making it a lightweight yet highly flexible tool. Additionally, Eximee BPMS offers robust task management capabilities for efficient task organization and reporting.
The system uses a model where business processes are executed by independent microservices. This approach increases the scalability of the solution and allows organizations to easily integrate it with existing applications or develop new functionality. Eximee BPMS uses microservices to manage complex process models effectively.
Security is a top priority in the development of Eximee BPMS. The system is built according to strict standards used in electronic banking, ensuring not only compliance with regulatory requirements, but also giving users peace of mind with continuous operation and data protection. Eximee BPMS also integrates business rules to enhance security and decision-making processes.
Eximee BPMS is designed to work in a cloud environment, giving organizations full flexibility to choose their deployment infrastructure – from local servers to advanced PaaS environments. This tool is built for the future. Its well-designed architecture, flexibility, and advanced security approach make it perfect for modern businesses looking to evolve their processes while minimizing operational risks and costs.
The end of support for Camunda 7 in 2025 forces banks to decide whether to migrate to a more modern tool. The selection should focus on solutions that offer stability, security and easy integration with existing systems, minimizing the risk of downtime and operational disruptions. Additionally, it is crucial to choose tools that can automate workflows effectively.
Eximee BPMS development roadmap
Eximee BPMS is designed to meet the needs of advanced organizations, providing a stable and secure way to manage business processes. The first full release of the system, scheduled for the second quarter of 2025, will give banks access to advanced features that support process development while meeting user needs for security and performance. This solution will allow organizations to focus on improving their operations without worrying about maintaining current operations.
