success stories to sell to management

[jbpmndc]

I'm becoming a big fan of jbpm, but it can be difficult to sell to management without some success stories.

Nothing needs to be specific. Just some general statements would help.

hmmm.. not one response for a day ..too bad...

If I was to bet money, I'd say Microsoft is going to trounce the workflow market:

I've worked with a Java vendor, and as far as getting up and running jbpm blows it away.

Pros
It's modular - jar
Database independent - uses hibernate
It's got great examples if you look through the test source code
It's got a gui that satisfies the business analysts - eclipse plugin
It's got the JBoss name behind it

Cons
Does anyone use it?

thanks for the compliments ! they keep us going :-)

i can testify only indirectly that it is used in *large* organisations like insurance companies, banks, airplane builders, world class large financial institutions, security organisations, military, ...

regrettably, most of these companies are quite sensitive about references. with most of these clients, we have an nda.

Take a look at this topic: Success stories with jBPM
There are a couple of postings there you might find interesting.

Thank you for that link.

My two cents: A couple of prominently displayed success stories on the main JBPM page would help us developers sell the product to management.
