Our model is a subscription one, with a totally free version of the software to start with. Very similar to the JBoss model indeed. Edwin,

You’re absolutely right. Our model is a subscription one, with a totally free version of the software to start with. Very similar to the JBoss model indeed.

If BPM or a BPMS is somewhat esoteric, how about giving those in the dark ages a clue? Sorry, yes, I know I could look around and figure it out... but it was kind of funny reading your article, full of important references to BPM and BPMS... and not have any idea.

JBoss was free and yet JBoss was making more than $20M in revenue! I think that you would be more credible if you were to build the case for a subscription model versus a traditional licensing model. Especially given that some companies will doubt the viability of an enterprise software company which is giving its product away for free! :-) -Edwin Ismael,
