In the BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) world, two popular engines that facilitate this process coordination are the Activiti engine and the Flowable engine. With the introduction of the workflow designer in Collibra, the new Flowable engine is the new standard for workflows. If you find yourself considering a transition from Activiti to Flowable, this blog will guide you through the journey.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5c833f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f5c833f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6679f17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6679f17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Activiti Engine  <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-172f3f3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"172f3f3\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c3992e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8c3992e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Activiti BPMN engine has been a reliable choice for organisations seeking to implement BPM solutions.
