The WSO2 Business Process Server provides a complete web-based graphical console to manage, deploy, view and execute business processes and human tasks within a single server instance.

It provides an interface to assign, allocate, claim and complete tasks with the use of a dashboard. Third-party applications can be integrated with WSO2 BPS through REST API. WSO2 BPS provides comprehensive management APIs to build external UI’s that interact with processes and tasks deployed in it.
