ProcessMaker

ProcessMaker was born in October of 2000 at the height of the Dotcom boom when Bobby Vernon and Brian Reale started an online reinsurance trading platform called Spinsit.com. After the dotcom bust, the company was re-branded under the Colosa name and re-tooled to build websites and perform database project work. In 2006 the company won a very small web project to create an online paperwork management system for a government ministry in Latin America. As the project unfolded, it was clear there was a need and a market. Institutions and large companies all over the world were drowning in paper forms and cumbersome procedures. To differentiate the offering, the team decided to make an open source product and the ProcessMaker BPM brand was soon born. ProcessMaker open source was released on SourceForge in February 2008. On the first day there were 3 downloads and within two years it grew to 500 downloads per day with an active worldwide community of users telling us how our product was being used. Fast forward to 2018. ProcessMaker now has offices in US, South America, and Europe as well as a global partner network serving customers on five continents. ProcessMaker open source has been downloaded over 1,000,000 times and the company has won numerous industry awards demonstrating time and time again that ProcessMaker is a leading force in the workflow and BPM industries.
