Oryx is a web-based editor for modeling business processes in various modeling languages like BPMN or EPC. You can create models and share them with your business partners, clients and friends. You may not only share a model with your colleagues, but discuss and improve it within one working environment. Thus, Oryx brings all the advantages of Web 2.0 into the world of modeling. To start modeling you need zero installation–your model is just one click away.
Oryx is an open platform for developments regarding business process modeling. Everyone is invited to contribute new process modeling languages, features and knowledge to Oryx. The number of contributors is growing rapidly and the developers come from all over the world.
A prominent tool that built on top of Oryx is the Signavio Process Editor, a professional BPMN designer and Business Process Analysis (BPA) tool.
This page is the drop-in center for all contributors of the project as well as those who want to deploy Oryx on their own server or integrate it into their own projects. In the wiki and downloads sections you find various documentation for developers.
Oryx is a project of the Business Process Technology research group at the Hasso Plattner Institute of IT Systems Engineering at the University of Potsdam. The research group is led by Professor Mathias Weske, as is the Oryx project.
