The story of Bizagi, a name ingeniously crafted from 'business' and 'agility', began in 1989 with a visionary goal: to empower organizations to achieve true operational agility. Founded by Gustavo Gomez, an entrepreneur with a passion for solving complex problems, the company was born from the realization that traditional software development and rigid legacy systems were significant roadblocks to digital transformation. Gomez, equipped with a computer science degree and experience in software engineering across Europe and Colombia, set out to create a platform that would democratize process automation. He envisioned a world where business and IT could collaborate seamlessly to create applications and automate workflows, without the lengthy and complex coding cycles that had become the norm. This vision materialized into a low-code process automation platform designed to be intuitive and business-friendly.
From its origins, Bizagi has been on a relentless journey of innovation, constantly evolving to meet the dynamic needs of the digital age. The company pioneered a freemium model for its Bizagi Modeler, a tool that allows users to graphically map, document, and simulate business processes using the standard BPMN notation. This strategy fostered a global community of millions of users, creating a powerful ecosystem for feedback and continuous improvement. The platform grew to include Bizagi Studio, for building and automating process applications, and Bizagi Automation, for executing and managing these processes across the enterprise. This comprehensive suite empowers organizations to connect people, applications, devices, and information on a single, unified platform. Today, Bizagi stands as a recognized leader in the digital process automation space, serving over 400 enterprises worldwide, including major brands like Adidas and DHL. With a strong global presence and a commitment to its core values of collaboration, innovation, and responsiveness, Bizagi continues its mission to help businesses transform faster and thrive in an era of intelligent automation.
