Some of the readers of my personal site may have already come across this post and list of resources but I thougt I would post i here for anybody who may have missed it....
I was asked by a customer if I know of any free process modeling and automation tools. This got me thinking of how many vendors provide a free edition of their software for unlimited use i.e. no trial basis or try before you buy editions. After some research I came up with the following short list:
Free BPM and Process Modeling Tools:
- BizAgi Process Modeler
- Questetra BPM Suite
- Tibco Business Studio
- Aris Express (soon to be released)
- Process Maker
- Open ModelSphere
- Visual Paradigm - Smart Development Environment (Community Edition)
- Visual Paradigm for UML (Community Edition)
I have not evaluated each application so could not comment on their strengths and weaknesses but would be interested to hear about other free BPM and/or Enterprise Architecture tools. A more complete list can be found here - resource list.
Seasons greetings and a very properous New Year to all! I am taking a well earned break and will be back early in the new year.

Hi,
BPM BlueWorks of IBM is a Beta free software for modeling.
Hi,
Modelio of ModelioSof is a free modeling software.
Thanks to those who have contributed thus far. Keep them coming!
Consider also the Cordys Process Factory www.theprocessfactory.com. Cool modeling tool.
Another tool that provides process modeling but also business process simulation is AccuProcess (www.accuprocess.com). It is quite easy to use even by normal business folks.
