Joinwork Process Studio is a Business Process Modeling tool which implements the OMG standard BPMN 2.0. By using the tool you can visually model your business processes to precise and comprehensive process diagrams with the BPMN symbols which are with precise semantics. The latest version 3.0 is now free for downloading.

BPMN stands for Business Process Modeling Notation. It is the standard for modeling business processes, as put forth by the OMG (www.OMG.org). The Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a graphical notation that depicts the steps in a business process. BPMN depicts the end to end flow of a business process. The notation has been specifically designed to coordinate the sequence of processes and the messages that flow between different process participants in a related set of activities.

Joinwork Process Studio Features:
1. Implementations of OMG's BPMN 2.0 standards.
In Joinwork Process Studio you are able to model your business processes with the symbolic elements and their precise semantics specified in the BPMN 2.0 standards.

2. Full BPMN syntax validation and problem checking.
By the full implementions of the BPMN 2.0 syntax, Joinwork Process Studio validates all the elements and relationships between them which you modeled within your diagrams. Hence making BPM syatax mistakes is impossible in Joinwork Process Studio.

3. Over eight years "built-in" BPM expertise since 2002.
The Joinwork company is not only the modeling tool vendor. Instead it is a company that has been focusing on the BPM software industry for over eight years with thousands of users using its BPMN products and solutions. Over the implementations of BPMN 2.0, Joinwork Process Studio has the BPM intelligence implemented everywhere possible in modeling the business processes.

4. Best combination with Joinwork BPMN Process Engine.
Different from most of the business process modeling tool vendors, the Joinwork company has its own BPMS process engines. The development of the Joinwork BPMN Process Engine which implements the BPMN 2.0 is now in progress. If your business needs a BPMN modeling tool to model the processes, and a BPMS engine, to execute the process models, then the Joinwork Process Studio + BPMN Process Engine is a good choice of the best combination. Process models generated by the Joindesk Process Studio are common executable in any BPMS process engine that implements BPMN 2.0, and also naturally they work best in the Joinwork BPMS Process Engine.

Features in Practice
1. Easy to start modeling with BPMN elements:
In Joinwork Process Studio, users do not have to remember all the dozens of BPMN elements. Instead all the elements can be drawn starting from less than 20 basic elements.
2. Syntax validation and semantic verification:
While you modeling your business process to diargams, the Joinwork Process Studio automatically validates everything you are drawing according to the BPMN 2.0 standards.
3. Configurable Diagram Hierarchy:
Managing hierarchical relationships and references between different diagrams is no more than clicking.
4. Intuitive process modeling:
Modeling business processes in Joinwork Process Studio is mostly by just clicking and dragging.
5. Export to BPMN XML for interchange:
Fully implements the BPMN 2.0 XSD for standard of interchange.
6. Export for presentation:
Export diagrams to images of any specified size / range. Both JPG and PNG formats are supported.
7. Sizing and spacing tools:
Convenient tools that make element size and space adjusting easy to do.
8. Automatical elements alignment:
The alignment machnism helps users create nice looking diagrams without any further effort, but only dragging the elements with the assistance of the alignment lines.
9. Spell checking:
Joinwork Process Studio checks each word you type in your diagrams. Finding and fixing spelling mistakes is very easy to do.

Why is BPMN important?
The world of business processes has changed dramatically over the past few years. Processes can be coordinated from behind, within and over organizations natural boundaries. A business process now spans multiple participants and coordination can be complex. Until BPMN, there has not been a standard modelling technique developed that addresses these issues. BPMN has been developed to provide users with a royalty free notation. This will benefit users in a similar manner in which UML standardised the world of software engineering. There will be training courses, books and a body of knowledge that users can access in order to better implement a business process.
