Compared to alternatives

What you get that proprietary alternatives don't offer

Most workflow platforms in the Danish municipal market are closed, licence-based and vendor-hosted. Here's how we differ:

Source code
ÅbenForms
Open source (EUPL-1.2)
Proprietary alternatives
Closed - vendor licence
BPMN editing
ÅbenForms
Open it, read it, change it yourself
Proprietary alternatives
Consultancy project with the vendor
Hosting
ÅbenForms
Own server or EU VPS, ideally Denmark - you own the data and the location
Proprietary alternatives
Vendor-hosted, monthly licence
Pricing model
ÅbenForms
Free software. You only pay for hosting and optional consulting.
Proprietary alternatives
Annual licence plus a fee per submitted form or case
Dependencies
ÅbenForms
Bare Drupal 11 + drupal:key
Proprietary alternatives
Complex ecosystem of dependencies

The proprietary alternatives solve their problem just fine. We solve it in a way you can maintain yourself, without licence costs that scale with case volume.

What you get from day 1

ÅbenForms uses ECA (Event-Condition-Action) as a modern, actively developed replacement for the legacy Maestro system.

13 BPMN case types ready

Building permit, parking permit, marriage booking, parental approval, formal complaint and 8 other flows shipped and ready - or write your own in the visual BPMN editor.

MitID + NemLog-in OIDC

OIDC with PKCE S256, CPR pre-fill from claims, NSIS substantial/high. NemLog-in Erhverv on the roadmap. One core, both citizen and business.

Digital Post (SF1601)

fake_db for local dev, WireMock for tests, Serviceplatformen for production - same code, four modes, one switch.

GDPR by design

Field-level CPR encryption, audit log on every MitID session and Digital Post send, deletion after workflow completion.
