Software AG (Frankfurt TexDAX: SOW) has set a new historic record reaching 400,000 members in its ARIS Community. The ARIS Community is the largest Business Process Management (BPM) community worldwide that enables collaboration, engagement and sharing for its membership.

Dr. Wolfram Jost, Chief technology Officer, Software AG noted: “A successful online community provides excellent content and a user experience that encourages frequent return visits. The ARIS Community achieves this by providing comprehensive BPM information for beginners as well as advanced users. Equally importantly, we enable different and disparate interest groups to share information, collaborate on new processes, meet experts and participate in forums, or simply download trial software.”

The ARIS Community has a special ARIS Cloud area with feature information, tutorials, a blog and a support part. ARIS Cloud is Software AG’s Business Process Analysis (BPA)-as-a-service offering.
