A Spark Ignites
In the era of Lotus Notes and Exchange Server,
four young engineers set out to explore BPM’s future in China.
Database-Driven BPM Product Released
Built on a self-developed engine and database, it laid the foundation for
modern BPM, unlike the email-based workflow systems of the time.
Database-Driven BPM Earned Recognition
It quickly became one of the market’s most active solutions
in the Chinese market, alongside Xi’an Xietong and Ultimus.
First Viewmodel-Driven Forms
We pioneered forms powered by data models, enabling auto-calculation
and dynamic linkage, which soon became standard across the BPM industry.
Introducing the Data Source Concept
Enabled dropdowns and lookups to connect with databases,
establishing the foundation for BPM form integration with
third-party systems.
ASPX Form Designer
With most forms HTML-based, our ASPX designer enabled
programmable front- and back-end forms, boosting
implementation efficiency and delivery.
Database-Driven BPM Gained Dominance
Its openness drove adoption, while email-based workflow systems declined.
Continuous innovation secured a leading position,
attracting early clients such as Lucent, Sony, PepsiCo, China Unicom, and AIA.
FlowPortal BPM Launch
FlowPortal, the first BPM product based on the .NET Framework,
debuted, ushering BPM from C++ into .NET.
The same year, Shanghai Yizheng Information Technology Co., Ltd.
was founded.
Discover High-Performance BPM Architecture
Innovations such as memory caching, hot/cold data separation, and
storing historical data by year set new performance benchmarks
in the BPM industry for years to come.
Lead Rich Client BPM
Applied rich client, OPOA, and no-refresh technologies to BPM,
modernizing front-end user experience.
Win Trust of Industry Leaders
FlowPortal was adopted by leading companies such as Voith,
Merck, CR Land, Eaton, Skyworth, and Xizhilang.
Pioneering Process-Driven Applications
Low-code form design and workflow capabilities empowered
business application development. The launch of an application
platform the same year expanded BPM’s scope.
The Big Yiez Age Begins
Core partners from Mainland China and Taiwan region joined, with
marketing centers set up in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.
Domestic client referrals helped attract our first overseas customers in
the US, Japan, Germany, and EMEA/APAC.
the US, Japan, Germany, and EMEA/APAC.
ESB-Enhanced BPM
We pioneered visual, no-code ESB integration in BPM,
which later became a mainstream practice in the industry.
BPA Platform Launch
Became one of the few platforms in the industry to support end-to-end
process mapping and execution for comprehensive management.
Focus on Professional BPM
As low-code SaaS platforms rose across the BPM industry,
FlowPortal remained committed to professional BPM, preparing
FlowPortal 8 on .NET 8, distributed architecture, and BPMN 2.
Develop Our Own BPMN2 Engine
Based on years of BPM and OA experience, we developed a BPMN2
engine supporting administrative and business workflows, laying the
foundation for FlowPortal’s specialization and differentiation.
Professional BPM Meets Low-Code
Integrated mainstream low-code technologies into BPM,
bringing low-code flexibility to professional workflows.
Complete Low-Code Toolkit
Redefined low-code beyond simple form design, enabling
business users to build process applications on their own
with systematic tools and methods.
Micro-App Platform Launch
FlowPortal extended low-code from process building to application
development, creating a micro-app platform.
Industry-First: Multi-Library Support
Industry-first BPM supporting multiple process libraries, allowing
subsidiaries and departments to manage workflows independently
as part of our systematic low-code approach.
FlowPortal 8.0 Released
Rebuilt on .NET 8, distributed architecture, microservices,
cloud-native design, and low-code technologies, it modernizes
the BPM platform, marking FlowPortal’s entry into the modern era.
Redefining BPM Performance
Leveraging .NET 8, asynchronous programming, in-memory caching,
and tunnel communication, FlowPortal 8 achieved exceptional
performance—over 1,000 transactions per second under 1,000
concurrent requests, even on a standard laptop.
Make Global Workflow Applications Possible
Forms and workflows support multiple languages and time zones,
enabling seamless cross-border processes. Approvers see processes
and forms in their local language with automatic time zone adjustments.
FlowPortal 8.0 Wins Overseas Customers
FlowPortal 8.0, driven by continuous innovation,
gained traction across APAC, North America, Europe, and Africa.
Introducing the Self-Evolving BPM Knowledge Base Concept
An AI copilot answers approvers’ questions from the SOP
knowledge base, collects user feedback, and leverages scoring
and recommendation systems to continuously evolve and
optimize the process knowledge itself.
Community Edition & Educational Resources
Launched a free community edition, learning academy,
experience platform, and developer hub to lower barriers
to digital transformation for enterprises.
Yiez.net Empowers Low-Code Industry Solutions
FlowPortal continues to invest in platform and ecosystem
development. With its “low-code platform + process-driven”
core, it empowers industry solution providers to build
adaptable and flexible next-generation solutions.
