The year 2025End of Life (EoL) of Camunda 7 is within reach. For many companies that had entrusted their critical processes to this proven BPM platform, the question is: What does this mean for us? How do we continue to operate as securely and efficiently as possible?
The security risk: a wake-up call for compliance officers
Expiring support for software that is at the heart of your business processes is not a luxury problem, but a serious security risk. Without regular updates, patches and technical support, the system is more unstable and susceptible to cyber-attacks.
Legal sanctions
This can have serious consequences, particularly in the financial sector and other critical infrastructures such as insurance companies or the healthcare industry, which are subject to strict regulatory requirements. Supervisory authorities such as the German BaFin attach great importance to the digital operational resilience of companies. With the entry into force of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) from January 17, 2025 at EU level, the requirements for IT security and the maintenance of critical software will become even stricter. A lack of maintenance can not only lead to operational interruptions, but also to severe sanctions.
Camunda 8: A costly alternative?
Many are considering the switch to Camunda 8. However, this step often involves a fundamental reorientation that is not only technically demanding but can also be significantly more expensive. Some industry experts point out that the annual operating costs of Camunda 8 for large-scale implementations can reach two to three times those of Camunda 7, amounting to hundreds of thousands of euros – and this without necessarily delivering added value for established business processes. Additionally, there are the efforts required for the often more complex migration and redevelopment.
